          CABLE SERVICES BUREAU ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                              COST SURVEY FORMS
                       NEW DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 29, 1996


     The Cable Services Bureau is extending the filing deadline for the cable cost survey
outlined in FCC 95-2042, September 26, 1995.  The cost survey forms were sent to 660 cable
systems around the country on September 29, 1995.  The Bureau received a letter requesting an
extension from the National Cable Television Association ("NCTA") dated October 25, 1995.  The
letter asserted that "due to the press of other business, the system personnel most able to respond
to the Commission's detailed survey form are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to meet [the
November 30] deadline."

     The Bureau recognizes that the survey was due one month before the end of the calendar
year, and the financial and accounting activities that operators now have underway could be useful
to the form's completion.  Accordingly, the Bureau believes the request for additional time is
reasonable and grants an extension and establishes a new response deadline of February 29, 1996.
All Survey Forms should reference FCC 95-2042 and should be filed with the Office of the
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.

Services Bureau at (202) 416-0800.
