Section 76.960B  X - ` x4.` ` The first complaint for this community was filed with the Commission on  X - xOctober9, 1993 and was returned as invalid.   yO- xԍ Operator filed a Motion to Dismiss this October 9, 1993 complaint filed by William R. Gianelli of Peebles  xhBeach, California. Because our records indicate that this complaint was returned as invalid, we will deny this Motion  xto Dismiss and dismiss it as moot. Our records further indicate that the November 15, 1993 complaint filed by Monterey County was the first valid complaint filed in the above referenced community. The first valid complaint for this community was  x\filed with the Commission on November 15, 1993. Upon review of Operator's filings we find  xthat Operator has incorrectly calculated its maximum permitted rates beginning September 1,  Xb-1993 and we make the appropriate adjustments in accordance with our rules.  b yO$- xԍ Information regarding the specific adjustments made to Operator's FCC Form 393, FCC Form 1200, and FCC  xForms 1210 filing can be found in the public file for CUID No. CA0175 which is available in the Cable Services  x,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. "b ,N(N(ZZ"Ԍ X- ` ԙx5.` ` FCC Form 393 Filing: In its FCC Form 393 filed May 31, 1994, Operator  x/calculated a maximum permitted rate for the CPST of $7.86. However, an examination of the  xSeptember 1, 1993 rate card reflects a monthly CPST charge of $13.42. We have adjusted the  xmaximum permitted rate accordingly. Further, our review has resulted in discrepancies in the  xnumber of subscribers per tier reported as of the initial date of regulation and as of September30,  x1992. On its FCC Form 393, Operator reported the total number of subscribers as of the initial  xdate of regulation as 21,820 for the BST and 21,656 for the CPST (Part I, Worksheet I, Line  x103). The FCC Form 1200 filed by Operator reflects the total number of subscribers, as of the  xinitial date of regulation, as 13,375 for the BST and 13,081 for the CPST (Module A, Line A2).  xkThe number of subscribers reported on FCC Form 393 for September 30, 1992 was 21,463 for  X - xthe BST; 21,379 for CPSTI; and 3,653 for CPSTII (Part II, Worksheet 2, Line 203).\X  yO - xԍ On September 30, 1992, Monterey Peninsula TV Cable offered a standard package and a satellite package  x(tier 2). Currently, TCI Cablevision of California offers a standard cable package and premium service available on an a la carte basis and no separate satellite service.\ However,  xzthe FCC Form 1200 reflects the number of subscribers as of September 30, 1992 as 13,208 for  xthe BST; 13,139 for CPSTI; and 2,495 for CPSTII (Module G, Line G1). Upon review, we have  xjadjusted the FCC Form 393 figures to reflect those reported on the FCC Form 1200 for the same  xperiods. The equipment revenue amount (Part II, Line 104) has also been adjusted to reflect the  xrestructured equipment cost total reported in Part III, Step G, Line 34. Adjustments have also  xbeen made to the September 30, 1992 tier charges of $14.05, $5.54, and $6.04 reported (FCC  x{Form 393, Part II, Line 201). Consequently, we have determined that Operator's maximum permitted rate of $14.65 is reasonable.  X4- ` x6.` ` FCC Form 1200 Filing: On August 15, 1994, an FCC Form 1200 was filed with  xkthe Commission to justify CPST rates in effect after July 14, 1994. Operator has calculated a  x.maximum permitted rate of $13.10. Operator's actual rate was $13.42. On June 15, 1994 Operator  X- xfiled a request for deferral of refund liability. {O- x;ԍ See Notice of Refund Liability Deferral Letter of Paul Glist to the Federal Communications Commission, dated June 15, 1994. Pursuant to this request, Operator decreased its  x=rates on July 14, 1994. This has resulted in no refund liability being incurred for the applicable period.  X- ` x7.` ` FCC Forms 1210 Filings: Operator filed four FCC Forms 1210 to justify its CPST  xrates from July 15, 1994 to April 1, 1996. The first FCC Form 1210 filed was to justify  xMOperator's CPST rate of $13.30, effective August 15, 1994. The second FCC Form 1210 filed  xwas to justify Operator's CPST rate of $14.03, effective October 1, 1994. The third FCC Form  x1210 filed was to justify Operator's CPST rate of $14.75, effective January 1, 1995. The fourth  x|FCC Form 1210 filed was to justify Operator's maximum permitted CPST rate of $14.99,  xeffective April 1, 1996. The CPST rates calculated in the FCC Forms 1210 filings covering all periods from April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1996 have been found to be reasonable. "B,N(N(ZZ"Ԍ X- ` #kx8.` ` Consequently, we find all Operator's maximum permitted rates from November15,  X-1993 to the last reported CPST rate of $14.99, effective April 1, 1996 to be justified.  yOb- xԍ This finding is based solely on the representations of Operator. Should information come to our attention that  x,these representations were materially inaccurate, we reserve the right to take appropriate action.
