STATES THAT HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THEY REGULATE POLE ATTACHMENTS
WC Docket No. 10-101
The state of Arkansas 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 Arkansas'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. The Commission establishes a new docket, WC Docket No. 10-101,
to collect and maintain state pole attachments certifications and addenda.
