                       CABLE SERVICES BUREAU ACTION          March 30, 2000


PETITION SEEKING DECLARATORY RULING THAT CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS OF AN
ARIZONA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ARE PREEMPTED BY THE COMMISSION'S
              OVER-THE-AIR RECEPTION DEVICES RULE


     Messrs. Daniel and Corey Roberts have filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling asking the Commission to
determine whether the Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions of The Canada
Vista Homeowners Association ("Canada Vista") restricting installation and placement of television antennas and
satellite dishes is preempted by Section 1.4000 of the Commission's rules.  The Petition alleges that Canada Vista's
covenants violate the Commission's rule preempting restrictions that impair installation, maintenance or use of
over-the-air reception devices (satellite dishes and antennas) by imposing antenna screening requirements that add
an unreasonable expense to the installation. Canada Vista is located in Scottsdale, Arizona.  

     For purposes of our ex parte rules, this proceeding will be considered as non-restricted pursuant to Section
1.1206 of the Commission's rules ("Permit-but-disclose  proceeding").

     Parties may file responses to the Petition on or before May 1, 2000 and replies on or before May 16,
2000.  Please place the case identifier, CSR-5531-0, on all filings.

     The Petition is available for public inspection in the Commission's Reference Information Center, Court
