Well, depends on who owns the ROW. Yes, generally you have to get permission unless there is a public utility easement already there. If the power company got a ROW from the property owner that ROW will not extend to you unless you are attaching to their poles and paying them a pole attachment fee.

I tried a search in the document for right-of-way and found one match for a Section 224 of the Commission's associated procedural rules, but can't find much else. Basically, I'm trying to have a pole placed by the power company in a ROW near a road - they already have poles nearby. They're asking me for an easement from the property owner. I'm thinking that shouldn't be necessary in this situation. Am I wrong? On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 4:26 PM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: It is written into the FCC order from 2015. From: Jason McKemie Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 3:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] BIAS ROW Acess Does anyone have a link to anything official which states that a BIAS provider has access to the ROW along with other utilities? I'm having trouble finding the actual order. Also, even though we would have ROW access as a BIAS provider, would a specific easement from the adjacent property owner still be necessary since there is a ROW in place already? -Jason
