Section 76.922(b)(6)(ii).V This  xdeferral of refund liability, however, does not apply to refund liability that may have occurred because  xMOperator's March 31, 1994 rates for its CPST subject to regulation were higher than levels permitted"b,p(p(88 "  S- xunder the Commission's rules in effect before May 15, 1994.2~ {Oh-ԍ Id.2 Accordingly, while the liability period for  x/Operator's overcharges associated with its FCC Form 1200 filing may not begin to run until July 15,  x1994, Operator will incur refund liability between May 15, 1994 and July 14, 1994 for any CPST rates  S- xcharged above the MPR approved by the Commission on Operator's FCC Form 393.V\Z~ {O- xԍ Operator filed a letter with the Commission on August 16, 1994 requesting deferral of its refund liability.  {OL- xSee letter from Joe A. Johnson, Falcon Cable TV, Senior Vice President to the Federal Communications Commission, dated August 16, 1994.V In our Prior Order  x>we approved an MPR of $7.85 for Operator's CPST. Because Operator's actual CPST rate of $8.01  x.exceeded the MPR established on our Prior Order, we find that Operator's actual rate of $8.01, effective May 15, 1994 to July 14, 1994, is unreasonable.  S- ` Px5.` ` Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1200, filed to justify its CPST rates beginning July  S- x15, 1994, we find Operator's MPR of $5.98 to be justified. Because Operator's actual CPST rate of  Sp- x!$7.66, exceeds its MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $7.66 effective July 15, 1994 to  SH -April14,%vQ 14, 1995, to be unreasonable.  H ~~ yOf- xԍ This finding is based solely on the representations of Operator. Should information come to our attention that  x,these representations were materially inaccurate, we reserve the right to take appropriate action. This Order is not  xto be construed as a finding that we have accepted as correct any specific entry, explanation or argument made by any party to this proceeding not specifically addressed herein.  S - ` ~x6.` ` Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1210, covering the period April 1, 1994 through  xDecember 31, 1994, we find Operator's MPR of $6.32 to be justified. Because Operator's actual CPST  xrate of $7.66 exceeds its MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $7.66, effective April 15, 1995  xthrough June 30, 1996, to be unreasonable. Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1210, covering the  xMperiod January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, we adjusted Module C, Line C14 (Previous Ext.  xCosts per Tier per Sub) to $1.2831 from $1.1598 to conform with Line B10 from the previous FCC Form  x1210. This adjustment reduced Operator's MPR to $7.80. Because Operator's actual CPST rate of $7.66  x[does not exceed its revised MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $7.66, effective April 15, 1995 through December 31, 1996, to be reasonable.  Sh- ` x7.` ` Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1240, for the projected period October 1, 1996 to  x/September 30, 1997, we adjusted Module A, Line A1 to reflect the corrected MPR of $7.80 brought  x-forward from the prior FCC Form 1210. We adjusted Worksheet 1 to apply the correct published inflation  S- xrate of 2.22% for the period April 1996 to June 1996.ef ~ {O -ԍ See Public Notice, DA 981292, released June 30, 1998.e In addition, we adjusted Module C, Line C1 to  x1.0226 and Line C3 to 1.0183. We also adjusted Module D, Line D3 (Current Caps Method Segment)  xto $1.17. Our adjustments to Operator's FCC Form 1240 resulted in a reduction of the MPR for CPST" ,p(p(88"  S- xto $8.57. ~ yOh- xԍ Information regarding the specific adjustments made to Operator's FCC Forms can be found in the public files  xZfor the abovereferenced community which are available in the Cable Services Bureau's public reference room, or  x<through the Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription Services (ITS), 1231 20th Street N.W.,  yO-Washington, DC, 20036, or by calling ITS at (202) 8573800. Because Operator's actual CPST rate of $8.81 exceeds its revised MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $8.81, effective January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997, to be unreasonable.  S- ` x8.` ` Upon review of Operator's second FCC Form 1240, for the projected period January 1,  x1998 to December 31, 1998, we adjusted Module A, Line A1 to reflect the corrected MPR of $8.57  xbrought forward from the prior FCC Form 1240. We adjusted Worksheet 1 to apply the correct published  x=inflation rate of 2.70% for the period January 1997 to March 1997 and 1.77% for the period April 1997  x>to June 1997. In addition, we adjusted Module C, Line C3 and Line C5 (Current Inflation Factor) to  x=1.0114 for the projected period. We also adjusted Module D, Line D3 (Current Caps Method Segment)  xyto $1.4125 to coincide with Line I1 from the revised FCC Form 1240. We adjusted Module D, Lines D6  x=and D7 to coincide with the previous revised FCC Form 1240. In addition, we adjusted Module F, Line  x[F8 (True Up Segment for True Up Period I) to $0.1855 and Module I, Line I9 was adjusted accordingly.  xThese adjustments resulted in a MPR of $9.36. Because Operator's actual CPST rate of $9.75 exceeds  xits revised MPR, we find Operator's actual CPST rate of $9.75, effective January 1, 1998, to be unreasonable.
