In Meredith/New Heritage Strategic Partners, L.P., 9 FCC Rcd 6841 (1994), the  d(#!Commission defined a legitimate reason for a latefiled petition seeking review of a local  d(#yfranchising decision as the intervention of something beyond its control which could not have  d(#ybeen foreseen, and for which no corrective action is available. We shall use the same standard  d(#to justify making an exception to our rules considering filing deadlines for LFA complaints.  X- 4.` ` On April 1, 1996, Falcon implemented CPST rate increases in the communities  d(#kreferenced above. Under our rules, the RCC had 180 days or until September 30, 1996 to file  d(#any complaints concerning this increase. We did not receive the RCC complaints until October  d(#4, 1996, more than 180 days after Falcon's implementation. Therefore, the complaints were not filed within the period provided by our rules.  X-  5.` ` In its cover letter filed with its complaints  18 {O - d(#Zԍ  See Letter dated September 27, 1996 from Milo Mecham, Regional Cable Commission staff, Lane Council of Governments. and again in its response to Falcon's  X- d(#motion to dismiss, P 18 {O#- d(#ԍ  See Response dated November 6, 1996 from Milo Mecham, Regional Cable Commission staff, Lane Council of Governments. the RCC requested a waiver for any procedural defects in its filings. The  d(#RCC asserts that the delay in filing and request for waiver were due in part to the timing of  d(#Falcon's increase and our new rules. The RCC asserts that delays were encountered while it  d(#.reviewed the impact of the changed rules. We find this argument unpersuasive. The RCC did" ,N(N(ZZ"  d(#not specifically show how the timing of our rules delayed its filing process. Further, the RCC  d(#has argued that Falcon Holding Group, Inc. lacks standing to file a motion in this proceeding.  d(#However, according to Commission records Falcon Holding Group, Inc. is clearly affiliated with  X-Falcon Cable TV.f 18 {O4-ԍ  See Falcon Holding Group Inc., 10 FCC Rcd 7267 (1995).f Therefore, Falcon Holding Group, Inc. has standing in this matter. (#(#   X-  6.` ` For the reasons discussed above, we find that the RCC has failed to show good  d(#cause sufficient to warrant granting a waiver of our rules. Therefore, we will grant the motion to dismiss filed by Falcon.  X1- 7.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's  d(#Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321, that the complaints referenced herein filed by Lane Council of  d(#Government on behalf of the Regional Cable Commission, against the CPST rate increases charged by Falcon in the above referenced communities ARE DISMISSED. ` `  hhCFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `  hhCElizabeth W.
