In connection with TWI's merger with Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.,  xthrough which TWI acquired control of WTBS(TV), the Commission granted TWI a twelve month  S-temporary waiver of the crossownership rule to expire on October 9, 1997.~X2 {O-ԍTurner Broadcasting System, Inc. and Time Warner, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 19595 (1996).~  S- ` x3.` ` TWI requests that the Bureau stay enforcement of Section 76.501(a) when TWI's  xtemporary waiver expires on October 9, 1997 until after the Bureau reviews and decides a petition for  xreconsideration of the Order, which TWI intends to file as soon as possible. TWI filed the Request  x.pursuant to Sections 1.41 and 1.44(e) of the Commission's rules and contends that it meets a four factor  S - x-test for determination of whether a party is entitled to a stay pending review.X 2 yOr&- x-ԍTWI contends that the four factors are: 1) the likelihood that the party seeking the stay will prevail on the  xmerits; 2) the likelihood that the moving party will be irreparably harmed absent a stay; 3) the likelihood that others will be harmed if the stay is granted; and 4) the public interest. Request at 4. In particular, TWI contends  xthat it will suffer a significant financial loss if it is compelled to sell the cable system by the October 9,"! ,**88U#"  x-1997 deadline and argues that the absence of opposition to its original petition indicates that no other party  S-would be harmed by maintaining the status quo pending review.< yO@-ԍRequest at 5 and 17.<  S-( DISCUSSION ă  S8- ` x4.` ` Pursuant to Section 1.102(b)(2) of the Commission's rules, the Bureau has discretion to  S- xstay the effect of an order pending disposition of a petition for reconsideration.JX yO -ԍ47 C.F.R.  1.102(b)(2) (1996).J We conclude that it is  xin the public interest to avoid precipitating a "fire sale" of the cable system in question or depriving the  S- xcommunities involved of cable service until a suitable buyer is found. {OH -ԍSee In the Matter of Cox Cable Communications, Inc. et al., 10 FCC Rcd 1559, 1563 (1994). We will treat TWI's Request under  x[Section 1.102(b)(2) and exercise our discretion to stay enforcement of Section 76.501(a) until the Bureau  xcompletes its review of TWI's forthcoming petition for reconsideration, which we expect will be filed expeditiously.
