Sec. 76.914  Revocation of certification.

    (a) A franchising authority's certification shall be revoked if:
    (1) After the franchising authority has been given a reasonable 
opportunity to comment and cure any minor nonconformance, it is 
determined that state and local laws and regulations are in substantial 
and material conflict with the Commission's regulations governing cable 
rates.
    (2) After being given an opportunity to cure the defect, a 
franchising authority fails to fulfill one of the three conditions for 
certification, set forth in 47 U.S.C. 543(a)(3), or any of the 
provisions of Sec. 76.910(b).
    (b) In all cases of revocation, the Commission will assume 
jurisdiction over basic service rates until an authority becomes 
recertified. The Commission will also notify the franchising authority 
regarding the corrective action that may be taken.
    (c) A petition for revocation must be served on the franchising 
authority and contain a statement that service was made. The franchising 
authority may file an opposition within 30 days of filing of the 
petition. A reply may be filed within 15 days of filing the opposition.
    (d) While a petition for revocation is pending, and absent grant of 
a stay, the franchising authority may continue to regulate the basic 
service rates of its franchisees.
