Â 7#j " ,))II"Ԍ S-  3.` ` The Commission's original rate regulations took effect on September 1, 1993. The   yCommission subsequently revised its rate regulations effective May 15, 1994. In a further effort to offer   small cable companies administrative relief from rate regulation, the Commission amended the definition   [of small cable companies and small systems and introduced a simplified form of small systems rate relief   in the Small Systems Order. In the Small Systems Order, the Commission introduced FCC Form 1230  S8-  yto simplify the costofservice showings for small cable companies and small systems.8= yO-  Zԍ The FCC Form 1230 is a onepage form "on which the system inserts its expense, rate base, rate of return, channel count and subscriber count figures and then calculates its rate of return." Small Systems Order at Par. 64. FCC Form 1230   requires that the Operator Selected Per Subscriber Monthly Programming Rate Per Channel (FCC Form   1230, Line A11) not exceed the Per Subscriber, Per Channel Monthly Programming Costs (FCC Form  S-  [1230, Line A6)._ = yO -ԍ See FCC Form 1230, page 3, instructions for line A11._ If the maximum rate established on FCC Form 1230 does not exceed $1.24 per channel  S-  the rate shall be presumed reasonable.Q = yO -ԍ See 47 C.F.R. Section 76.934(h) (1996).Q Cable systems serving 15,000 or fewer subscribers, and owned   by a company having 400,000 or fewer subscribers, may elect to use the small cable system rate   |mechanism found in FCC Form 1230 in lieu of other Commission rate processes, provided the  S -Commission has not reached a final resolution on the rate complaints filed against the system.I @= yO-ԍ Small Systems Order at par. 75.I  S -  4.` ` We first determine that Operator is a company with fewer than 400,000 total subscribers   and that the system in the community referenced above serves fewer than 15,000 subscribers, making it   eligible for small system status. We also determine that, on its FCC Form 1230, dated September 9, 1997,   Operator's actual rate per channel for regulated cable service (FCC Form 1230, Line A11) does not exceed   its per subscriber, per channel monthly programming costs (FCC Form 1230, Line A6) and the Maximum   LPermitted Rate per channel (FCC Form 1230, Line A10) does not exceed $1.24. We, therefore, find that  S-Operator's maximum permitted rate of $13.00 is not unreasonable. = yOP-  Jԍ This finding is based solely on the representations of the operator. Should information come to our attention   Ythat these representations were materially inaccurate, we reserve the right to take appropriate action. This Order is   not to be construed as a finding that we have accepted as correct any specific entry, explanation or argument made  yO-by any party to this proceeding not specifically addressed herein.   S-  5.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321, that Operator's request for small system relief IS GRANTED.
