Dear Mr. Felder:

     This letter is in reference to the letter you filed on April
19, 1995 with respect to a
complaint filed February 22, 1994, against the price Grassroots
Cable Systems
("Grassroots") was charging for cable programming service in
Middleton, New Hampshire,
CUID No. NH0180.  In that letter, you state that Grassroots's
Middleton, New Hampshire
system has 388 subscribers.  Based on the information you have
provided, it appears that the
Middleton system qualifies as a "small system" pursuant to 47
C.F.R.  76.901(c), and was
therefore exempt from rate regulation until May 15, 1994.

     We will rule at a later date on Grassroots's justification
under the Commission's
revised rate regulations of its cable programming service rates in
Middleton beginning May
15, 1994.  At that time, we will also consider Grassroots's
argument that the complaint is
deficient on its face.  

     Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please
contact Peter G. Wolfe 
at (202) 739-0783.

                         Sincerely,



                         JoAnn Lucanik  
                         Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance
Division
