SECTION 18.1-D CLARIFICATION

Section 18.1-D  Time Limits Involving Form 2 Preliminary Joint Pole Authorization. 

  18.1D CAN be used for one or any member, when the following two requirements have been met:

1.	45-days have elapsed from the issue date and no written or verbal communication has occurred, such as:
•	No signed approved JPA 
•	No Form 7 protesting the JPA 
•	No Verbal approval or protest of JPA

2.	Form 48 has been issued that construction is complete and 45 days have elapsed from the Form 48 date sent and STILL NO written or verbal communication has occurred.

18.1D CANNOT be used on the final bill, if there is written or verbal communication anytime between the JPA sent date and the 45 days from the Form 48 date sent. 

For Example:
•	If signed JPA is received after 45-days from JPA date sent but before the Form 48 has been issued, the final bill must have member’s signature name, accounting data and approved changes.

•	If signed JPA is received after the Form 48 has been issued but before the 45 days from date of that Form 48 have elapsed, the final bill must have member’s signature name, accounting date and approved changes.

NOTE:  A JPA FINAL BILLED WITH 18.1D MUST BE FINAL BILLED AS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN.
