Sec. 1.1416  Imputation of rates; modification costs.

    (a) A utility that engages in the provision of telecommunications 
services or cable services shall impute to its costs of providing such 
services (and charge any affiliate, subsidiary, or associate company 
engaged in the provision of such services) an equal amount to the pole 
attachment rate for which such company would be liable under this 
section.
    (b) The costs of modifying a facility shall be borne by all parties 
that obtain access to the facility as a result of the modification and 
by all parties that directly benefit from the modification. Each party 
described in the preceding sentence shall share proportionately in the 
cost of the modification. A party with a preexisting attachment to the 
modified facility shall be deemed to directly benefit from a 
modification if, after receiving notification of such modification as 
provided in subpart J of this part, it adds to or modifies its 
attachment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party with a preexisting 
attachment to a pole, conduit, duct or right-of-way shall not be 
required to bear any of the costs of rearranging or replacing its 
attachment if such rearrangement or replacement is necessitated solely 
as a result of an additional attachment or the modification of an 
existing attachment sought by another party. If a party makes an 
attachment to the facility after the completion of the modification, 
such party shall share proportionately in the cost of the modification 
if such modification rendered possible the added attachment.
