Sec. 1.1414  State certification.

    (a) If the Commission does not receive certification from a state 
that:
    (1) It regulates rates, terms and conditions for pole attachments;
    (2) In so regulating such rates, terms and conditions, the state has 
the authority to consider and does consider the interests of the 
subscribers of cable television services as well as the interests of the 
consumers of the utility services; and,
    (3) It has issued and made effective rules and regulations 
implementing the state's regulatory authority over pole attachments 
(including a specific methodology for such regulation which has been 
made publicly available in the state), it will be rebuttably presumed 
that the state is not regulating pole attachments.
    (b) Upon receipt of such certification, the Commission shall give 
public notice. In addition, the Commission shall compile and publish 
from time to time, a listing of states which have provided 
certification.
    (c) Upon receipt of such certification, the Commission shall forward 
any pending case thereby affected to the state regulatory authority, 
shall so notify the parties involved and shall give public notice 
thereof.
    (d) Certification shall be by order of the state regulatory body or 
by a person having lawful delegated authority

under provisions of state law to submit such certification. Said person 
shall provide in writing a statement that he or she has such authority 
and shall cite the law, regulation or other instrument conferring such 
authority.
    (e) Notwithstanding any such certification, jurisdiction will revert 
to this Commission with respect to any individual matter, unless the 
state takes final action on a complaint regarding such matter:
    (1) Within 180 days after the complaint is filed with the state, or
    (2) Within the applicable periods prescribed for such final action 
in such rules and regulations of the state, if the prescribed period 
does not extend beyond 360 days after the filing of such complaint.
