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.1 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.2 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.3 Certification by a state preempts the Commission from accepting pole 
attachment complaints under Subpart J of Part 1 of the Rules.4  
Also pursuant to Section 1.1414(b), the Commission compiles and publishes from time to time a 
listing of states which have provided certification.5 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.
