                       MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

     Adopted:  March 25, 1996                Released:  March  28, 1996           
   
By the Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.  In this Order we dismiss a complaint against the rate that the above-captioned
operator ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming service ("CPS") tier in the
community designated above on the ground that the complaint concerns a rate that is outside
the jurisdiction and authority of this Commission.  The Commission regulates rates for CPS
only, and then only upon the filing of a valid complaint.  Our review reveals that the
complaint filed against Operator, while asserting that it challenges a CPS rate, challenges only
a rate for premium service, not for CPS.  The complaint therefore does not trigger the
Commission's jurisdiction.

     2.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 623(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  543(a)(2)(A) and (B), that the
complaint filed prior to May 15, 1994 against the cable programming service price charged by
Operator in the community referenced in the caption IS DISMISSED.
     
     3.  This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
