Section 543 (c) (1993).U  XW-  3.` ` The Commission received valid complaints concerning Adelphia's CPST rates in  X@ -  effect from September 1, 1993 through September 30, 1995,@  yO%-ԍ The commission received the first valid complaint against Adelphia on September 20, 1993. and against the CPST rate increases"@ z,))ZZ"  X-  that Adelphia implemented on October 1, 1995.z yOy-ԍ The Commission received a valid complaint against Adelphia's CPST rate increase on October 6, 1995. Accordingly, these complaints trigger the Commission's jurisdiction to review Adelphia's CPST rates.  X-   X-  4.` ` Adelphia's FCC Form 1220, 1210, and 1240 filings seek to establish that its CPST   rate, including subsequent increases, is below the maximum permitted rate and is justified based   on its cost of providing regulated cable service. According to information provided by Adelphia   in its cost of service showing, the franchise area comprised approximately 60,435 CPST   zsubscribers and Adelphia provided 33 CPST channels at the time of its filing. In this review   .process, we analyzed Adelphia's CPST cost of service showing, and FCC Form 1210 and 1240   ifilings, to ensure that the initial CPST rate, and subsequent rate increases, were not unreasonable and to determine any associated refund liability.  X -   5.` ` In reviewing the cost of service showing, rate base and expense items have been  X -  yevaluated to determine whether Adelphia should be permitted to recover those items. Where a   Mcertain rate base or expense element was not supported, was excessive, or was unrelated to  X -  -providing regulated cable service, such cost was disallowed in whole or in part.'$ Xz yO-  ԍ The Commission made clear that the fact that an operator has incurred costs does not necessarily establish its  {Ox-  right to recover those costs from subscribers. See Implementation of Sections of the Cable Television Consumer   YProtection and Competition Act of 1992: Rate Regulation, MM Docket No. 92266, Report and Order and Further  {O -Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("Rate Order"), 8 FCC Rcd 5631, 5794 n.619 (1993). ' Where reported   costs were disallowed, we have made appropriate adjustments. Even with our adjustments and  Xy-disallowances, however, we find that Adelphia's monthly CPST rates have been justified.yDz yOn-  ;ԍ Information regarding the specific adjustments made to Adelphia's filing for Asset Valuation, Capitalized Losses   ;and Accumulated Amortization, Direct Assignments of Other Cable Revenues, Cost Allocations, Rate of Return and   its use of Equivalent Billing Units and the basis for such adjustments, can be found in the public files for CUID Nos.   [FL0237 and FL0401 which are available in the Cable Services Bureau's public reference room, or through the   Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription Services (ITS), 1919 M Street N.W., Washington, DC, 20554, or by calling ITS at (202) 8573800.   Xb-  XK-  6.` ` Based on our review of Adelphia's cost of service filing and subsequent FCC Form   [1210 and 1240 filings, applying the Commission's most current rules, we find that Adelphia has   .justified the monthly CPST rate of $12.75 charged from September 1993 through September 30,   1995, the monthly CPST rate of $13.52 charged from October 1, 1995 to May 31, 1996, and the  X-CPST rate of $14.92 implemented on June 1, 1996.  z yO\"-  ԍ This finding is based solely on the representations of Adelphia. Should information come to our attention that   ,these representations were materially inaccurate, we reserve the right to take appropriate action. This Order is not   to be construed as a finding that we have accepted as correct any specific entry, explanation or argument made by any party to this proceeding not specifically addressed herein.  X-  7.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's   \rules, 47 C.F.R.
