                             ORDER

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

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

      1.Here we consider a request to withdraw an FCC Form 329 rate complaint ("complaint"). 
On June 6, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") received a letter from the
complainant requesting that the Commission allow the complainant to withdraw her complaint against the
cable services programming tier ("CPST") rates charged by the above-referenced Operator ("Operator"). 
We will allow the withdrawal of the complaint, and our review of the resulting rate justifications will
therefore be terminated.

      2.Our mandate is to protect subscribers of any cable system not subject to effective
competition from paying rates higher than those that would be charged if the system were subject to effective
competition.  While our rules forbid collusive agreements between operators and subscribers regarding
forbearance from rate regulation, there is no evidence of such an agreement here.  We will accordingly allow
the withdrawal of the complaint.

      3.Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the request to withdraw the FCC Form 329 rate
complaint against the CPST rates charged by the Operator in the community referenced above IS
GRANTED, and the review of the resulting rate justification filings IS 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.
