Sec. 498.54  Joint hearings.



    When two or more affected parties have requested hearings and the 

same or substantially similar matters are at issue, the ALJ may, if all 

parties agree, fix a single time and place for the prehearing conference 

or hearing and conduct all proceedings jointly. If joint hearings are 

held, a single record of the preceedings is made and a separate decision 

issued with respect to each affected party.
