Iowa Admin. Code r. 129-21.7
To the extent an application for certification satisfies all other requirements of this chapter, if at the time such application is filed the office's determination of whether a particular broadband block forming the basis of such application, in whole or in part, is a targeted service area currently subject to challenge pursuant to the appeal and contested case procedures set forth in 129-Chapter 20, or the judicial review and appeal procedures outlined in Iowa Code sections 17A. 19 and 17A.20, the office will issue a certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aspect(s) of the office's certification concerning broadband blocks forming the basis of the application for certification that is currently subject to such challenge shall be purely contingent and valid only to the extent the office's original determination is ultimately upheld at the end of the entire appeals process once final, including judicial review and any subsequent appeal. For purely administrative purposes, if a portion of an application for certification is later deemed invalid by operation of this rule, the office may require the communications service provider to file a new application pursuant to rule 129-21.3 (8B, 427).
