                                 DISMISSAL ORDER

     Adopted:  February 14, 2001                       Released:  February 16, 2001   
  
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 September 13, 1994, 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. On October  18,
1994, the Commission received a letter from the LFA which stated that the LFA "had completed its review of
C-TEC's/MERCOM's cost-of-service filings and has determined that C-TEC's/MERCOM's rates are
reasonable." Although the LFA did not withdraw its petition, we find that the petition for special relief is moot
because the LFA already reviewed the subject filings, and we will dismiss it. 
     
     2.   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 Petition for Special Relief, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT.
