The record shows that a significant City concern about TCIR's sampling methodology  !was that the aggregated rates were not related specifically to Richardson, not because the methodology  !itself was invalid. The record also shows that the City relied strongly on TCIR's failure to provide the  !disputed corporate general ledgers when concluding that TCIR was unresponsive to its information  ! requests, although these ledgers were not shown to be relevant in light of the more detailed corporate  !records TCIR did provide, and the City's interest in these records appeared to be related to its concern  !^about a Richardson nexus in the rates. Because aggregated rates need not be related to the circumstances  !of individual franchise areas and TCIR's failure to provide summaries of the more detailed financial  !information given to the City would not impede the City's review of its equipment and installation rates,  !neither of these general concerns supports the City's findings in its rate orders or provides a valid basis  !for rejecting TCIR's rates. The City also sought cost information, such as the information about the labor  !hours reflected in the sample results and used to establish TCIR's aggregated HSC, and has argued that  !the sample is flawed because of problems with the data concerning labor hours, but the rate orders and  !supporting documents do not provide insight about how the City's concern, which it developed in its  !Opposition here, weighed in the rate orders.

S' B. ` ` Form 1240 "Gap" Period Rate Adjustments  S'X a.X` ` Background (#`  Sp' ( 26.` ` A cable operator using FCC Form 1240 sets annual rates by projecting expected changes  !in external costs, inflation, and channels for the coming year and by correcting for differences between  !past projections and actual costs during the previous year. In comparison, cable operators using Form  !1210 to calculate quarterly rate adjustments do not adjust for the previous year's overestimations or  !underestimations. This is because Form 1210 bases rate changes on past costs only, so cost projections  !do not play a role. When a cable operator switches from the quarterly rate adjustment method to the  !annual rate adjustment method, the operator may not have actual cost data for costs incurred up to the time  !^it makes its first annual adjustment. The operator, therefore, could experience a delay in recovering those  !costs until it implements rates after its second annual Form 1240 filing. The Cable Services Bureau  !realized that this delay would create a disincentive for operators to switch to the annual rate adjustment  !methodology and, in 1996, granted TCIR's parent, TCI, a onetime waiver that allowed TCI to estimate  S' !costs for the period before as well as after its new annual rates were to become effective.Gf  {O' !3 #X\  P6G;?P#эAnnual Rate Adjustment System for Cable Service Rates, 11 FCC Rcd 10235 (Cab. Serv. Bur. 1996) ("TCI  {O'Waiver Order"). This time is  S' !known as the "gap" period. The Commission subsequently extended this waiver to all cable operators.H  {O' ! ԍAnnual Rate Adjustment System, 11 FCC Rcd 16297, 1630016301 (Cab. Serv. Bur. 1996) ("Gap Period  {O 'Waiver Order").  !Importantly, the waiver only applies to an operator's first Form 1240 filing. It works as follows: an  !operator's initial Form 1240 filing may include projected changes in costs, inflation, channels, and  !"subscriber information attributable to the period between the last full month for which cost data is  !3available and the effective date of the new annual rates. An operator must include with its projections  !a separate calculation and explanation of the basis for these projected costs. Because this gap period  !xwaiver resulted in two projected periods in a cable operator's first Form 1240 filing, an operator must true up the gap period as well as the standard projected period when making its second filing on Form 1240. "P H,8)8)``"Ԍ S' ( v27.` ` In its 1997 Rate Order, the City stated that TCIR failed to make some gap period  S' !adjustments, which originated in its first Form 1240 filing, when it made its second Form 1240 filing.lIZ yO@' ! #X\  P6G;?P#эTCIR 1997 Appeal at 23 and Attach.

C at 2 (Executive Summary (Feb. 9, 1997)); City 1997 Opposition at 79; see also TCIR 1998 Appeal at 78.l  !The adjustments relate to the calculation of the base rate in Module D of Form 1240. A proper calculation  !of the base rate is especially important because an operator uses the base rate to build its trueup and  !projected period MPRs. As noted, an operator usually performs a trueup only for its previous rate period.  !It uses the trueup segment, recorded on Line I8 of Form 1240, to calculate its MPR for the projected rate  !period. In its next rate filing, an operator will enter the same Line I8 trueup figure on Line D6 to  S' !calculate the base rate.oJ yOr '#X\  P6G;?P#эForm 1240 Instructions at 1415.o However, when an operator calculates a trueup figure for the gap period on a  !kseparate form from the projected period, as described above, Line I8 is not sufficient to calculate the base  !@rate by itself because it does not include the gap period calculation. An operator must also include the  !cgap period figure from its gap period calculation. The Commission requires operators to make this adjustment when calculating their upper tier (cable programming service tier or "CPST") rates.  S ' ( 28.` ` The City adjusted TCIR's BST rate in its 1997 Rate Order based on its consultant's report  !3that TCIR did not include the gap period figure in Module D when it calculated the base rate, thereby  S ' !Qmaking TCIR's base rate too high.;K z {O' ! #X\  P6G;?P#эSee letter from Philip Vogel & Co.

C, respectively; City 1997 Opposition at 78.; The consultant also found that TCIR improperly deducted inflation  !adjustments, which were not included in the previous MPR, from the gap period. The total effect of  !adjustments to the gap period calculations resulted in a $0.28 reduction in TCIR's requested 19971998  !MPR.
