                                  ORDER

   Adopted:  September 29, 1996               Released:  October 3, 1996  

By the Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

 1.   In this Order we dismiss a complaint against the rates that the above captioned
operator ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the
community set forth above on the grounds that the complaint concerns rates that are outside the
jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission").  Under the
Communications Act, the Commission regulates the CPST rates of cable systems not subject to
effective competition upon the filing of a valid complaint.  Our review reveals that the complaint
filed against Operator, while asserting that they challenge a CPST rate, challenges only a rate for
the basic service tier, and not a CPST rate.  Consequently, the complaint 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. Section 543(a)(2)(A) and (B), that the
complaint against the CPST rates charged by Operator in the community referenced above IS
DISMISSED.

 3.   This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
