because it will be unable to recover lost revenue later in the increasingly competitive market  x.cable operators face. It is also concerned about subscriber confusion from billing fluctuations because it  xhas announced and initiated its 1999 rate adjustment. On the other hand, TCI argues, subscribers will be  xNprotected by its commitment to issue any refunds with interest if required to do so under the final disposition of the case.  S( ` 6. ` ` The City opposes TCI's request. It believes that the language regarding the sunset of  xsection 76.922(g) is clear and argues that TCI's likelihood of success on the merits is contingent on an  xamendment or revision of the existing rules regarding rate adjustments for channel changes, not on the  xpresent state of the law. The City challenges TCI's argument of irreparable harm as unsupported, and  xargues that ratepayers are harmed by paying excessive rates because TCI's rates are not consistent with the Commission's rules.  S ( ` 7. ` ` We have reviewed the parties' pleadings regarding the pending stay request and will grant  xTCI's request for stay pending the resolution of the Appeal on the merits. The information before us in  xVthe stay request and the operator's appeal suggests that the operator may have first included the disputed  xresidual in its BST rate implemented in 1998, and the 1999 FCC Form 1240 in the record suggests that  xthe operator followed the methodology provided in the form and that we have accepted in CPST cases before the Commission. We expect to address the merits of the operator's appeal quickly.  S( ` 8. ` ` In order to protect the interests of subscribers and ensure that refunds will be paid if the  xoperator does not prevail on the merits, we will grant the operator's request that the local rate order be  xHstayed pending a resolution of this case on the merits on condition that the operator create an escrow  x$account. During the period of this stay, the operator must deposit in an interestbearing escrow account  xthe total refund amount due under the City's Order as of the date the account is opened and on an ongoing  xtbasis must accumulate in the escrow account the difference between the rate ordered by the City and the  x$rate charged customers during the pendency of the underlying appeal of the City's Order. Alternatively,  xthe operator may elect to post a bond for the benefit of the City. The amount of the bond shall be the  xtotal refund amount due as of the date the bond is posted plus an estimate of the additional amount that  xwill accumulate on the basis of the difference between the rate ordered by the City and the rate charged  xcustomers until the operator's next annual rate adjustment is scheduled to take effect for the City, plus  xinterest. The amount of the bond for estimated additional amounts shall be based on the operator's  x.subscriber count at the time the bond is posted. The bond shall provide that, if the operator is unable to  xfulfill its refund obligation for any reason, then the surety will fulfill that obligation to the City on behalf of the operator's subscribers.  S`( ` <9.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Request for Emergency Stay of Local Rate Order  xfiled by TCI Cablevision of Dallas, Inc. IS GRANTED pending the resolution of the operator's appeal on the merits.  S!( ` . 10.` ` IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the operator SHALL PLACE in an interest bearing  xfescrow account the refund amounts due under the City's Order at the time the account is opened and  x`SHALL ACCUMULATE in this account on an ongoing basis the difference between the rate ordered by  xjthe City and the rate charged customers during the pendency of the underlying appeal. Alternatively, the"H$0*%%88!"  x8operator SHALL SECURE this amount by posting a bond for the benefit of the City for the total refund  xamount ordered by the City that is due at the time the bond is posted plus an estimate of the additional  xamount that will accumulate on the basis of the difference between the rate ordered by the City and the  xrate charged customers until the operator's next annual rate adjustment for the City is scheduled to take  xeffect, plus interest for the period covered by this bond at the prevailing U.S. Internal Revenue Service  xfRate for tax refunds and additional tax payments. Proof of the operator's compliance with this Order SHALL BE FILED with the Commission within thirty (30) days of the release of this Order.  S( `  11.` ` This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated by section 0.321 of the Commission's rules. 47 C.F.R.  0.321. ` `  ,hhhFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `  ,hhhWilliam H.
