                                                     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.
