§ 1.1417 Allocation of Unusable Space Costs.
(a) With respect to the formula referenced in § 1.1409(e)(2), a utility shall
apportion the cost of providing unusable space on a pole so that such
apportionment equals two-thirds of the costs of providing unusable space
that would be allocated to such entity under an equal apportionment of such
costs among all attaching entities.
(b) All attaching entities attached to the pole shall be counted for
purposes of apportioning the cost of unusable space.
(c) Utilities may use the following rebuttable presumptive averages when
calculating the number of attaching entities with respect to the formula
referenced in § 1.1409(e)(2). For non-urbanized service areas (under 50,000
population), a presumptive average number of attaching entities of three
(3). For urbanized service areas (50,000 or higher population), a
presumptive average number of attaching entities of five (5). If any part of
the utility's service area within the state has a designation of urbanized
(50,000 or higher population) by the Bureau of Census, United States
Department of Commerce, then all of that service area shall be designated as
urbanized for purposes of determining the presumptive average number of
attaching entities.
(d) A utility may establish its own presumptive average number of attaching
entities for its urbanized and non-urbanized service area as follows:
(1) Each utility shall, upon request, provide all attaching entities and all
entities seeking access the methodology and information upon which the
utilities presumptive average number of attachers is based.
(2) Each utility is required to exercise good faith in establishing and
updating its presumptive average number of attachers.
(3) The presumptive average number of attachers may be challenged by an
attaching entity by submitting information demonstrating why the utility's
presumptive average is incorrect. The attaching entity should also submit
what it believes should be the presumptive average and the methodology used.
Where a complete inspection is impractical, a statistically sound survey may
be submitted.
(4) Upon successful challenge of the existing presumptive average number of
attachers, the resulting data determined shall be used by the utility as the
presumptive number of attachers within the rate formula.
