In this Order we consider the refund plans filed by the above-captioned operator ("Operator") in the above-captioned communities pursuant to our order In the Matter of Falcon Cable Systems Company ("Refund Order"). Our review of Operator's refund plans reveals that the refund plans do not completely comply with the requirements of the Refund Order. 2. Specifically, we determined that Operator's October 1996 principal calculations were incorrect and also caused minor errors in its interest due and franchise fee calculations. For Lowell, Oregon, Operator calculated an aggregate refund liability of $94.66. However, we have determined that Operator's actual refund liability through December 31, 1997 totals $315.44 or $1.71 per CPS subscriber. Similarly, we found that operator's actual refund liability in Creswell, Oregon totals $784.64 through December 31, 1997, or $1.72 per CPS subscriber. Accordingly, we order Operator to amend its refund plan to comply with our calculations. 3. IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 76.961 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.
