On September 3, 2024, NRECA submitted a letter to the FCC expressing concern with proposed rules that would require IOU pole owners to provide communications attachers with copies of their latest pole inspection reports and copies of their electric easements. The FCC, and communications attachers, claim the proposed rules would streamline the pole attachment agreement and make ready process. However, in practice, the burdensome requirements would only increase costs, cause delays and lead to additional disputes.
