A local franchising authority may petition the Commission for recertification pursuant to Section 76.916 of the Commission's rules by demonstrating that: (1) it meets the requirements of Section 623(a)(3) of the Act; (2) the cable system for which it seeks recertification is not subject to effective competition; and (3) the reasons underlying the earlier certification revocation are no longer valid. A petition for recertification must be supported by objectively verifiable data or by affidavit.
