To support a stay, petitioners must demonstrate: (1) that they are likely to prevail on the merits;  Y-(2) that they will suffer irreparable harm if a stay is not granted; (3) that other interested parties will not be harmed if the stay is granted; and (4) that the public interest favors the" 0*0*0*}"  Y-granting of a stay.b Yy-#Xw PE37=XP#э See Wisconsin Gas Co. v. FERC, 758 F. 2d 669, 67374 (D.C. Cir. 1985) (per curiam); Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Comm'n v. Holiday Tours, Inc., 559 F.2d 841, 84243 (D.C. Cir. 1977); Virginia Petroleum Jobbers Ass'n v. FPC, 259 F.2d 921, 925 (D.C. Cir. 1958).b As discussed below, resolution of this stay petition centers primarily on the strength of MGC's argument regarding the third prong of this test.  X-  cJ   X- cJ III.xDiscussion  Y-x 6.` ` The Commission's rules permit operators to implement refunds in either of the following methods: (1) by returning overcharges directly to those subscribers who actually paid the overcharges; or (2) by means of a prospective percentage reduction in the rates for the basic service tier or associated equipment for current subscribers via a specifically  Y1-identified, onetime credit.i16 Y-#Xw PE37=XP#э 47 C.F.R. 76.942(d).i Thus, the Commission's rules are structured so that individuals who were actually overcharged might not receive refunds in the future. Thus, a delay in the implementation of the refunds owed by MGC will not harm any interested party, since if MGC must implement refunds, it can choose to do so by way of credits to the thencurrent class of subscribers. In addition, MGC has volunteered to either place in escrow a sufficient amount of funds or to post a bond securing the refund obligation, thus further protecting  Y -subscribers interests in the refunds ordered by the Communities.m  Y?-#Xw PE37=XP#э See Stay Request at 5.m  Yy-x7.` ` A stay of the Ordinances would prevent MGC from being subjected to the irreparable economic harm of issuing any refunds to subscribers that it could not later recoup. Accordingly, we will grant MGC's Stay Request, pending a review by the  Y4-Commission of Media General.  Y-x8.` ` During the period of this stay, MGC is ordered to deposit in an interestbearing escrow account the total amount of money that the Communities have ordered MGC to refund to its customers for the period of time between October 10, 1993 and July 14, 1994. Alternatively, MGC may elect to post a bond for the benefit of the Communities. The amount of the bond shall be the total amount of money that the Communities have ordered MGC to refund to its customers for the period of time between October 10, 1993 and July 14, 1994, plus interest on that amount for a twelve (12) month period from the date of this Order. The bond shall provide that if MGC is unable to fulfill its refund obligations for any reason, then the surety will fulfill that obligation to the Communities, on behalf of MGC's subscribers.

Proof of MGC's compliance with this Consolidated Order shall be filed with the Commission within thirty (30) days of the release of this Consolidated Order. Interest shall accrue, or be computed, at the prevailing U.S. Internal Revenue Service Rate for tax refunds and additional tax payments.
