The Commissioner may designate one or more advisory organizations or other agencies to assist in gathering such experience and making compilation thereof. B. Reasonable rules and plans may be promulgated by the Commissioner for the exchange of data necessary for the development and application of rating plans. C.

D. Cooperation among advisory organizations or among advisory organizations and insurers in ratemaking or in other matters within the scope of the Property and Casualty Competitive Loss Cost Rating Act is authorized.
