		(1) the agreement under which the joint venture will operate must accompany the present application for self-insurance authorization;  
		(2) the present application for self-insurance authorization must be filed with the board at least 60 days before the desired effective date when one partner is currently self-insured or at least 90 days before that date when there is no self-insured partner; and  
		(3) each partner in the joint venture must submit the financial information required by 8 AAC 46.020(a)(3).  
	(b)  The board may for good cause, waive the requirement of 8 AAC 46.010(a)(4).
