XK- Procedural Matters   Y-4.` ` The first valid CPS complaints were completed and served by the City of  VR " 0*0*0*7"  VR Kansas City on Cablevision on October 8, 1993. The Commission received the complaints on October 12, 1993.   Y-5.` ` Cablevision attempted to justify its CPS price through an FCC Form 393 filed on November 16, 1993.  Xv- Discussion   YH-6.` ` Cablevision claims that its monthly CPS tier price of $13.09 per subscriber is justified by its benchmark filing, which shows a maximum permitted charge of $13.15. However, upon review we have determined that Cablevision has not correctly calculated its maximum permitted price, and it is appropriate to make the following adjustment to Cablevision's calculations in the Form 393:  Y -Xa.` ` In its Form 393 filing, Cablevision calculated the Inflation Adjustment Factor (Line 127, Worksheet 1, Part II) as of the end of October 1993. However, the figures Cablevision used are not consistent with data on which it should have relied in calculating the Inflation Adjustment Factor. Cablevision used the Gross National Product Price Index ("GNPPI") data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on August 31, 1993 to complete Lines 122 and 125, but used an outdated GNPPI of 121.8 for the third quarter of 1992 in calculating Line 123. The GNPPI figure for the third quarter of 1992 released on August 31, 1993 was 122.5. Cablevision's calculation of the Inflation Adjustment Factor is thus incorrect. (#  Y-Xb.` ` We must therefore recalculate the Inflation Adjustment Factor on the basis of  Y-the most accurate data currently available for the date for which Cablevision filed.l M Y:-#Xw PE37}XP#э#Xw PE37}XP##Xw PE37}XP#See 47 C.F.R. 76.922(b)(9)(iii) (if a cable operator fails to justify its rates, rates ust be adjusted in accordance with the most accurate data available at the time of analysis). l On July 29, 1994, the U.S. Department of Commerce released corrected inflation data including GNPPI figures of 122.3 for the third quarter of 1992 and 125.7 for the third quarter of 1993. Using these GNPPI figures, we calculate 1.030 as the Inflation Adjustment Factor through October 1993, the base date Cablevision used in justifying its rates.(#  Y -7.` ` This adjustment has the effect of reducing the maximum permitted monthly price for the CPS tier from $13.15 to $12.89.  Y- Conclusions   Y!-8.` ` Upon review of the record herein, we conclude that Cablevision's showing supports a maximum reasonable CPS tier price of $12.89 per month (plus franchise fee) for the period of October 12, 1993 to May 14, 1994 for CUID Nos. MO0198, MO0199 and"#d 0*0*0*$"  Y-MO0200. u aM Yy-#Xw PE37}XP##Xw PE37}XP#э  This finding is based solely on the representations of Cablevision listed in paragraph  Yb-5, supra, and the modification described in paragraph 6, supra. Should information come to  YM-our attention that these representations (including representations as to data regarding  Y6-installations and customer equipment) were materially inaccurate, we reserve the right to take appropriate action. This Order is not to be construed as a finding that we have accepted as correct any specific entry, explanation or argument made by any party to this proceeding not  Y-specifically addressed herein.#Xw PE37}XP#u We further determine that we will order appropriate refunds pursuant to Section 76.957 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  76.957, in order to reimburse subscribers for the amount they paid in excess of a reasonable price.  Y -9.` ` We further conclude that Cablevision must reflect in its Form 1200 rate filing for the period after May 14, 1994 the fact that Cablevision's prices during the earlier period  Y -was unreasonable.  M Y-ԍ We reviewed Cablevision's Form 1200 rate filing and confirmed that Cablevision calculated its rates for the period after May 14, 1994 using the rate that we find in this Order to be unreasonable. We reserve the right to make further adjustments to Cablevision's price for the period after May 14, 1994, upon completion of our review of Cablevision's FCC Form 1200 rate filing.  Y-10.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321, that the October 12, 1993 complaints against the cable programming service price charged by Kansas City Cable Partners dba American Cablevision in Kansas City, Missouri, CUID Nos.

MO0198, MO0199 and MO0200, for the period of October 12, 1993 to May 14, 1994, justify a maximum price of $12.89 per month (plus franchise fee) for American Cablevision's cable programming service tier.
