ORDER
                
      Adopted: July 30, 1996                  Released:  August 8, 1996

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

      1.    On December 23, 1993, Dynamic Cablevision of Florida, Ltd. ("Dynamic") filed
a petition for revocation challenging the certification of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida (the
"County") to regulate Dynamic's basic cable service rates in the Dade County incorporated
municipalities of Hialeah, Coral Gables, Hialeah Gardens, Medley, Miami Springs, Sweetwater,
Virginia Gardens and West Miami.  In its petition, Dynamic claimed that the County's cable
ordinance impermissibly permitted the County, at its option, to duplicatively regulate basic cable
rates in the above-stated incorporated municipalities that are individually certified to regulate
basic cable service rates.  In an order adopted July 14, 1995, the Cable Services Bureau (the
"Bureau"), found that the County's cable ordinance was inconsistent with the 1992 Cable Act and
the Commission's regulations, and therefore granted Dynamic's petition on those grounds while
denying all other grounds raised in Dynamic's petition.  However, the Bureau declined to revoke
the County's certification, instead permitting the County within 150 days of issuance to submit
an amended ordinance consistent with the Bureau's decision.

 2.   On December 5, 1995, the County submitted Metropolitan Dade County Ordinance
No. 95-212  which deleted the inconsistent provisions cited by the Bureau and replaced them
with the following provision:

      Dade County has jurisdiction to regulate rates in (1) the unincorporated
      areas of Dade County, and (2) the incorporated areas of Dade County,
      provided that Dade County shall have no jurisdiction to regulate rates in
      any municipality while that municipality is certified by the FCC to regulate
      rates, except where Dade County and the municipality have been certified
      by the FCC to regulate rates jointly.  At any particular time a cable
      operator in a single FCC community unit shall be subject to rate regulation
      only by either (1) the County, (2) the municipality, or (3) the County and
      municipality jointly regulating rates.

We find that the County's revised ordinance satisfies the requirements set forth in Dynamic. 
Therefore, the County's certification continues in good standing without lapse. 

 3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that Metropolitan Dade County Ordinance No.
95-212 is consistent with the Bureau's July 14, 1995 Dynamic order.

 4.    IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that to the extent the Bureau's July 14, 1995
Dynamic order granted Dynamic Cablevision of Florida, Ltd.'s petition for revocation of the
certification of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida it is now hereby DENIED. 

 5.   This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's rules.
