                                      ORDER

         Adopted:  February 11, 2000                   Released:  February 15, 2000      

By the Acting Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   The above-referenced operator ("Operator") filed a cost of service FCC Form 1220 with the local
franchising authority ("LFA") for the above-referenced community to justify its rate for its basic service tier
("BST") in the community referenced above.  On April 10, 1995, the LFA filed a petition for special relief
("Petition") with the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to the Commission's rules,
requesting that the Commission review the BST cost of service filing. This Order addresses only the reasonableness
of Operator's BST rate of $24.95, effective January 1, 1995.

     2.   To justify rates for the period beginning May 15, 1994, operators must use the FCC Form 1200
series.  Cable operators attempting to justify their rates through a cost of service showing must complete and file
FCC Form 1220.  In reviewing an operator's FCC Form 1220 cost of service showing, we evaluate the operator's
rate base and expense elements to determine whether the operator should be permitted to recover those items. 
Where a certain rate base or expense element is not justified under our rules, such cost is disallowed in whole or in
part.  Where reported costs are disallowed, we make appropriate adjustments. 

     3.   Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1220, we find Operator's actual BST rate of $24.95,
effective January 1, 1995, to be reasonable.      

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 0.321 and 76.933(d) of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321 and  76.933(d), that the BST rate of $24.95, charged by Operator in the franchise area
referenced above, effective January 1, 1995, IS REASONABLE.

     5.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 0.321 and 76.933(d) of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321 and  76.933(d), that this Order is binding on the LFA and Operator.
