Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2015 / Notices 1635 

Needs and Uses: In Report and Order 

and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 11– 

50, the Commission adopted rules that 

related to implementation of section 224 

pole attachment access rules. 

Specifically, the pole attachment access 

rules create a series of deadlines or 

‘‘timelines’’ by which communications 

providers (‘‘attachers’’) request and 

receive permission from electric utilities 

and incumbent LECs (‘‘pole owners’’ or 

‘‘utilities’’) to attach facilities to utility 

poles (‘‘access’’). A denial (or partial 

grant) of access by a utility must include 

all relevant evidence and information, 

and explain how the evidence and 

information relate to lack of capacity, 

safety, reliability, or engineering 

standards. In practice, this requirement 

causes the utility to survey the 

requested poles where access is 

requested and to perform an engineering 

analysis. Other paperwork burdens are 

triggered during the pole-preparation 

stage of the timeline (‘‘make-ready’’). 

These include sending letters of 

notification to any known entities with 

existing attachments and the requesting 

attacher. Such notification letters are 

sent when a make-ready schedule is 

established. If the make-ready period is 

interrupted; and if the pole owner 

asserts its right to one 15-day extension 

of time, notification letters are also 

required. Pole owners both perform and 

coordinate make-ready work. 

Additionally, the Order adopted a rule 

requiring utilities to post a list of 

approved contractors, and required new 

attachers that use contractors to perform 

pole attachment surveys or make-ready 

work in lieu of the utility using its own 

workers to choose from among approved 

contractors. If an attacher uses a utilityapproved contractor, it must notify the 

utility, and invite the utility to send a 

representative to oversee the work. 

Finally, the Order also broadens the 

existing enforcement process by 

permitting incumbent local exchange 

carriers (LECs) to file complaints 

alleging that the attachment rates 

demanded by electric utilities are 

unreasonable. The Order also 

encourages incumbent LECs that benefit 

from lower pole attachment costs to file 

data at the Commission that 

demonstrate that the benefits are being 

passed on to consumers.
