Members are receiving many JPAs that have “no tag” listed on the JPA. It is the JPA initiator’s responsibility to research the poles by using the SCJPC website advanced search or contact the members that are joint on these poles to find the pole number before sending the JPA out.
1. Initiating member(s) and their contractors need to do all research necessary to find the original
pole number, which includes but not limited to contacting other members.
2. If initiating member(s) is unable to produce a pole number for a solely owned pole on a
preliminary JPA, please create a temporary pole number.
3. Temporary pole number is to be used only on the preliminary JPA.
4. Form 7 needs to be sent to correct temporary pole numbers before the Final is issued.
5. Ensure that when the final JPA is created, the correct pole number for record is reflected on the
final JPA.
When initiating a JPA and you find that another member has a pending JPA and not yet attached, request their pole loading. Include the pending member’s pole loading information on your pole loading.
