The extension was granted to permit Operator an  yO-  opportunity to provide additional information as requested by Commission Staff.

The LFA has certified that it has received subscriber complaints and has complied with  X-  the Interim Rules.{  } {O-ԍ See FCC Form 329 complaint filed by the LFA dated September 24, 1996.{ Operator submitted a cost of service FCC Form 1220 and FCC Forms 1210  Xy-for the community set forth above to justify the rate increases.X` hp2 x (#%'0*,.8135@8:apportioned as offsets to both the basic tier and CPST. Operator responded that it directly   assigned advertising revenues to the CPST. We concur with this treatment of advertising   revenues because nearly all of the advertising time sold by operators is on the CPST and the   ?advertising time available on each tier is the appropriate cost driver. However, based on   ZOperator's responses to staff inquiries in November 1996, we determined that revenue and income   adjustments should have totaled $1,722,706, whereas only $861,646 was reported on Form 1220.   We revised Operator's calculations to reflect the shortfall. In the aggregate, our adjustments   reduced Operator's maximum permitted rate from $21.61 to $16.75. Still, the adjusted maximum   permitted rate of $16.75 exceeds Operator's April 1996 rate of $15.98 by $0.77, and its November 1995 rate of $14.62 by $2.13. Therefore, Operator's CPST increases are justified.

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.
