   Adopted:  August 6, 1999             Released:  August 9, 1999

By the Chief, Consumer Protection and Competition Division, Cable Services Bureau:

     1    On May 8, 1998, Time Warner Communications ("Time Warner"), a franchised cable operator
in the above captioned communities, filed with the Commission a petition for review of a local rate order
adopted by the Public Cable Television Authority ("PTCA") on April 8, 1998.  Time Warner had filed the
petition as a precautionary measure in response to a letter from the Executive Director of PTCA informing
Time Warner of its decision to deny a rate increase justified by form 1240 submitted in September 1997.  In
its letter, the PTCA established new regulated rates for basic cable service and required Time Warner to either
credit or refund overcharges to subscribers.  The letter also stated that the minutes of the PTCA Board of
Directors meeting, excerpted therein, had not yet been finalized and would not be approved until May 13, 1998. 
The PTCA filed no opposition to the petition. 

     2.   On June 29, 1999, Time Warner filed a Motion to Withdraw its Petition for Review.  In its
motion, Time Warner states it has received no additional correspondence from the PTCA regarding this matter. 
Accordingly, Time Warner presumes that any objection previously raised by the PCTA to its September 1997
rate increase has been otherwise resolved, and therefore, that there is no valid and final rate order by which
Time Warner's proposed rate increase was rejected.  No opposition to the motion has been filed.
 
     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Withdraw Petition for Review filed by
Time Warner IS GRANTED and the Petition for Review filed on May 8, 1998 IS DISMISSED. 

     4.   This action is taken by the Chief, Consumer Protection and Competition Division, Cable
Services Bureau, pursuant to authority delegated by Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules.  47 C.F.R 
0.321.
