Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2018 / Notices
discriminatory access to attach facilities
to poles, ducts, conduits, or rights-ofway owned or controlled by the utilities
(collectively, ‘‘pole attachments’’).
However, utilities may deny in writing
those pole attachment applications
where there is insufficient capacity on
a pole, or for reasons of safety,
reliability, and generally applicable
engineering purposes. Commission rules
also create a series of deadlines or
‘‘timelines’’ by which attachers request
and receive permission from utilities for
pole attachments. The first stage of the
timeline requires utilities to survey the
requested poles where access is
requested and to perform an engineering
analysis. Utilities may notify attachers
when they have completed their surveys
of the affected poles. With regard to the
second stage of the timeline, utilities
must present to attachers an estimate of
charges for preparing a pole for a new
attachment (‘‘make-ready’’ work). With
regard to the make-ready stage of the
timeline, utilities are required to send
notices of impending make-ready work
to entities with existing attachments on
the pole. Such notification letters are
sent when a make-ready schedule is
established. If the make-ready period is
interrupted, or if the pole owner asserts
its right to a 15-day extension of time to
perform make-ready work, then
notification letters also are required
from the utility to the new attacher.
Additionally, the Order adopted a
rule requiring utilities to make available
and keep up-to-date a reasonably
sufficient list of approved contractors to
perform surveys and make-ready work
in the communications space of a utility
pole. If an attacher uses a utilityapproved contractor, then it must notify
the utility and invite the utility to send
a representative to oversee the work.
Finally, the Order also broadened the
existing enforcement process by
permitting incumbent local exchange
carriers (LECs) to file complaints
alleging that the pole attachment rates,
terms, or conditions demanded by
utilities are unjust or unreasonable. If an
incumbent LEC can demonstrate that it
is similarly situated to an attacher that
is a telecommunications carrier or a
cable television system (through
relevant evidence, including pole
attachment agreements), then it can gain
comparable pole attachment rates,
terms, and condition as the similarlysituated carrier. The paperwork burdens
for this provision are contained in OMB
Control No. 3060–0392. 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.
