Establishment of a Joint Board

On September 27, 1996, the Federal-State Joint Board in CC Docket No. 80-286 adopted a Recommended Decision regarding permanent rules for the separation of the expenses assigned to the other billing and collecting category of the Commission's rules (OB&C) between the state and interstate jurisdictions. 1 In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released May 15, 1995, 2 the Commission had requested that the Joint Board recommend permanent rules that would reflect reasonable principles of cost causation and would not be unnecessarily burdensome to implement and administer. Through its Recommended Decision, the Joint Board intended to assist the Commission in formulating permanent rules for the jurisdictional separation of OB&C expenses that satisfy the Commission's stated goals that the permanent rules reflect principles of cost causation, not be unnecessarily burdensome to implement and administer, be simple to audit, and be certain and predictable in their effect. 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
