Feinberg, Esq. Dow, Lohnes & Albertson 1255 23rd Street, NW Washington, DC 200371194  Y-XxX` ` X Re:XFCC Form 1210 rate increases for Comcast Cablevision of Maryland(# Dear Mr. Feinberg: On January 13, 1995, Comast Cablevision of Maryland ("Comcast") filed with the Cable Services Bureau a request for approval, on an expedited basis, of a proposed rate increase to its cable programming service (CPS) tier as computed on FCC Form 1210. In this request, Comcast states that the increase is necessary to allow Comcast to provide its subscribers with new programming. Because we found Comcast's rates to be unreasonable, obligating it to  Y-pay refunds to its CPS subscribers,N Y#<ԍ#Xw PE37XP# See Order, DA 941153 (Cab.Serv.Bur., released Nov. 9, 1994). Comcast must obtain the Bureau's approval before it  Y-may increase its CPS tier rate. See FCC Form 1210, page 2.xv{N Y<ԍ#Xw PE37XP# We note Dimension's argument that a refund liability for a past period does not  Y-constitute a finding that the operator's rates are unreasonable. We rely, however, on the broader interpretation permitted by the first sentence, "If the Commission found your rates to be unreasonable less than one year ago and you now wish to increase your rates...." We did find Dimension's rates unreasonable less than one year ago, and Dimension is accordingly correct in filing an FCC Form 1210 for approval of its proposed rate increase.x This requirement allows us to monitor subsequent rate increases, once we have found rates unreasonable. Comcast states that the proposed programming and external cost increases are not dependent on the issues involved in the Bureau's Order imposing refund liabilities, and that approval should not be delayed on that account. To date, we have undertaken a full review of Comcast of Maryland's rates only for the" 0*0*0* " period prior to May 15, 1994, and have found those rates unreasonable. Our review of the"O 0*0*0*!" reasonableness of Comcast's rates from May 15, 1994 to the present is currently underway. With respect to rates charged for the period beginning May 15, 1994, Comcast has filed"0*0*0* !" FCC Forms 1200 and 1205. Comcast's current request for approval of FCC Form 1210 is"0*0*0* !" for expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 1994, and programming expenses to be accrued" 0*0*0* !" upon our approval. Comcast is requesting a CPS tier rate increase of $.55, $.28 in external  Y-costs and $.27 due to channels added under the new going forward rules.N Yb<ԍ#Xw PE37}XP# See Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992: Rate Regulation, MM Dockets No. 92266 and 93215, Sixth Order on Reconsideration, Fifth Report and Order, and Seventh Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 94286 (released Nov. 18, 1994). Comcast has added one channel, totalling an increase of $.20, plus license fees of $.07. We have reviewed the Form 1210 filings before us, and find no patent defects. We believe that the impetus behind Comcast's request is to provide its subscribers with new programming in the abovenoted communities, and that approval of Comcast's instant request will encourage this development. Our permitting the requested increases is on an interim basis only, and is subject to our determination of the reasonableness of Comcast's CPS rates for the period beginning May 15, 1994, including subsequent changes to the rates filed on Comcast's FCC Form 1200. Thus, although we allow the requested increase for new programming, the increased rate which Comcast may charge is potentially subject to refund if our review of Comcast's FCC Form 1200 and Form 1210 filings finds that Comcast's underlying CPS rate is unreasonable. x` `  hh@hSincerely, x` `  hh@hMeredith J.
