   Adopted:  September 15, 1997         Released:  September 18, 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 March 14, 1995, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") received a letter from the
City of Tonawanda ("Tonawanda") requesting that the Commission allow Tonawanda to withdraw its
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 relating to the above referenced complaint only will 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 franchising authorities
regarding forbearance from rate regulation, there is no evidence of such an agreement here.  We will
accordingly allow the withdrawal of this complaint.

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