Lines and elements of lines, upon installation or reconstruction, shall provide as a minimum the safety factors specified in Table 4 for vertical loads and loads transverse to lines and for loads longitudinal to lines except where longitudinal loads are balanced or where there are changes in grade construction (see Rules 47.3, 47.4 and 47.5).  The design shall consider the structural loading requirements of all supply and communication facilities planned to occupy the structure.  For purposes of this rule, the term “planned” applies to the facilities intended to occupy the structure that are actually known to the constructing utility at the time of design.
