Sec. 1.1406  Dismissal of complaints.

    (a) The complaint shall be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction in any 
case where a suitable certificate has been filed by a State pursuant to 
Sec. 1.1414 of this subpart. Such certificate shall be conclusive proof 
of lack of jurisdiction of this Commission. A complaint against a 
utility shall also be dismissed if the utility does not use or control 
poles, ducts, or conduits used or designated, in whole or in part, for 
wire communication or if the utility does not meet the criteria of 
Sec. 1.1402(a) of this subpart.
    (b) If the complaint does not contain substantially all the 
information required under Sec. 1.1404 the Commission may dismiss the 
complaint or may require the complainant to file additional information. 
The complaint shall not be dismissed if the information is not available 
from public records or from the respondent utility after reasonable 
request.

    (c) Failure by the complainant to respond to official correspondence 
or a request for additional information will be cause for dismissal.
    (d) Dismissal under provisions of paragraph (b) of this section 
above will be with prejudice if the complaint has been dismissed 
previously. Such a complaint may be refiled no earlier than six months 
from the date it was so dismissed.
