                                  ORDER


        Adopted:  July 1, 1997                     Released:  July 3, 1997  

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

  1.    In this Order we dismiss complaints against the rate that the above-captioned operator
("Operator") was charging for its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the communities referenced
above because the complaints concern rates that are outside the jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications Commission ("Commission").  Under the Communications Act, the Commission
regulates the CPST rates of cable systems not subject to effective competition upon the filing of a valid
complaint.

  2.    Cable systems are presumed not to be subject to effective competition.  The Operator
bears the burden of rebutting the presumption that effective competition does not exist by providing
evidence that effective competition, as defined by our rules, is present in its franchise area.  In a recent
decision the Commission found that Operator was subject to effective competition in the communities
referenced above.  Consequently, the complaints pending against Operator in the above-referenced
communities are dismissed and the review of the resulting rate justification filings are terminated.  

  3.    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 complaints
against the CPST rates charged by Operator in the communities referenced above ARE DISMISSED and
the review of the resulting rate justification filings ARE TERMINATED.

  4.    This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.

        FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
