| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Notice of proposed rulemaking is hereby given, including notice to the Attorney General of the State of Colorado and to all persons who have requested to be advised of the intention of the Executive Director of the Department of Regulatory Agencies to promulgate rules applicable to local entities that may certify an application area as unserved at the request of an applicant for a grant from the Broadband Deployment Board (Board). |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
These rules are promulgated to specify the process for the optional certification that is now available to every applicant who applies for funding from the Board for broadband infrastructure projects in unserved areas of Colorado.

Certification by a local entity that an area is unserved is additional evidence for an applicant to submit to the Board in support of an application for broadband funding. |
