DA 08-653
Released: March 21, 2008
CORRECTED LIST OF STATES THAT HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THEY REGULATE POLE
ATTACHMENTS
WC Docket No. 07-245
On February 22, 2008, the Commission gave notice that the state of New
Hampshire has certified that it regulates pole attachments, and listed the
states that have so certified. This Notice repeats the February 22, 2008
notice verbatim, except that this notice includes the state of Ohio, which
was mistakenly omitted from the list of certifying states.
The state of New Hampshire certifies that it has issued and made effective
rules and regulations implementing its regulatory authority over pole
attachments, including a specific methodology for such regulation which
has been made publicly available in the state. Pursuant to Section
1.1414(b) of the Commission's rules on pole attachments, the Commission
gives public notice of receipt of New Hampshire's certification.
Certification by a state preempts the Commission from accepting pole
attachment complaints under Subpart J of Part 1 of the Rules.
Also pursuant to Section 1.1414(b), the Commission compiles and publishes
from time to time a listing of states which have provided certification.
The following states have certified that they regulate rates, terms, and
conditions for pole attachments, and, in so regulating, have the authority
to consider and do consider the interests of subscribers of cable
television services, as well as the interests of the consumers of the
utility services. Moreover, these states have certified that they have
issued and made effective rules and regulations implementing their
regulatory authority over pole attachments, including a specific
methodology for such regulation which has been made publicly available in
the state.
