In this Order we dismiss a complaint against the rates that the above-referenced ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the community referenced above because the complaint concerns rates that are outside the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission"). 2. Under the Communications Act, the Commission regulates the CPST rates of cable systems not subject to effective competition upon the filing of a valid complaint. In a Memorandum Opinion and Order released November 10, 1997 ("Prior Order"), the Commission found that Operator's system serving the community referenced above is subject to effective competition. Based on our finding of effective competition in our Prior Order, Operator's system in the franchise area in the community referenced above is not subject to rate regulation. Therefore, the complaint does not trigger the Commission's jurisdiction and will be dismissed. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 623(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 543(a)(2)(A) and (B), that the referenced complaint against the CPST rate charged by Operator in the community referenced above IS DISMISSED. 4.
