Order Denying Jurisdiction                   )

                                   ORDER

       Adopted:  September 29, 1996                 Released:  October 7, 1996          
  
By the Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

       1.      In this Order we dismiss a complaint concerning the rate that the above-captioned
operator ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the
above-referenced community on the ground that the complaint concerned a rate that is outside
the jurisdiction and authority of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission").  The
Commission regulates rates for CPST 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 CPST rate, challenges only a rate for basic service, not for CPST.  In particular, the record
shows that Operator offered only a basic tier of service, and not a CPST tier, in this community. 
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(c) (1996), that the complaint filed
on March 10, 1994 against the cable programming services tier rate charged by Operator in the
above-referenced community  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.
