Continental Cablevision of Michigan, Inc., DA 971859, (Cable Serv. Bur.,  {O- xreleased August 29, 1997), 1997 WL 533588, ("Order"). August 29, 1997 was the Friday before the 1997 Labor  {Ov- xKDay weekend. The Order was listed in the Commission's Daily Digest on September 2, 1997. See 16 FCC Daily Dig. 169 at p. 2. FalCom contends further that the schedule was provided only  xafter it made calls to MediaOne on September 9 and September 17, 1997 to remind them of the  St- x/requirements of the Order. FalComm contends that MediaOne, by its tardy response to the Order,  x[continues to demonstrate a deep rooted anticommercial leased access culture towards small independent  xvideo producers. FalComm concedes that the slight delay and the resulting lack of damages is not the  S - xissue with which the Commission should be concerned. It asserts, however, that the  issue is the cable  xoperator's responsibility and obligation to abide by the Commission's orders and rules. FalComm asserts  xthat cable operators will not correct their antileased access culture toward small independent video  xproducers unless the Commission imposes significant fines and penalties that will induce change in the  xkcorporate culture of cable operators. FalComm contends it is time for the Commission "to fine, take  x#administrative action, or impose penalties on cable operators who fail to comply with the Telecommunications Act, as amended or the Commission's rules."  S- ` x4.` ` MediaOne states that it mailed a rate schedule to FalComm on September 15, 1997,  S- xwhich FalComm admits receiving on September 18, 1997, only sixteen days after the Order was released  x=on public notice on Tuesday, September 2, 1997 following the Labor Day holiday. MediaOne contends  SH- xthat it thus effectively complied with the Order, and that FalComm conceded that no harm occurred. MediaOne requests dismissal of the petition and denial of any relief.  S- ` `x5.` ` FalComm's petition will be denied. FalComm admits that receipt of MediaOne's rate  xschedule on September 18, 1997 caused no injury. We do not believe that the minimal delay in this instance warrants the imposistion of sanctions or forfeitures.
