                             ORDER

   Adopted:  June 2, 1997                    Released:  June 5, 1997

By the Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   In this Order, we dismiss a complaint against the rate that the above-referenced
operator ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming service tier ("CPST") in the
community set forth above on the grounds that the complaint concerns a rate that is outside the
jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission").  On January 25, 1994,
the Commission received in response to the complaint a motion to dismiss filed by the Operator. 
In that motion, the Operator asserts that the complaint concerns rates that are outside the jurisdiction
of the Commission.  Under the Communications Act, the Commission regulates the CPST rate of
cable systems not subject to effective competition upon the filing of a valid complaint.  Our review
reveals that the complaint filed against Operator, while asserting that it challenges the rate for the
CPST, challenges only the rate for equipment associated with the basic service tier ("BST") and not
the CPST.  Therefore, the complaint 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. Section 543(a)(2)(A) and (B), that the
complaint filed against the Operator in the community referenced in the caption is DISMISSED and
the motion to dismiss filed by the Operator is GRANTED.
     3.   This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321.
