ORDER
             
      Adopted:  December 2, 1996              Released:  December 6, 1996  

By the Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

 1.   In this Order we dismiss complaints against the rate Cable Satellite of South
Miami, Inc. ("Cable Satellite") was charging for its cable programming service tier ("CPST") in 
Miami, FL, CUID Nos. FL0529 and FL0914, on the ground that the complaints concern rates that
are outside the jurisdiction and authority of this Commission.  Pursuant to the Communications
Act, the Commission regulates the CPST rates of cable systems not subject to effective
competition upon the filing of a valid complaint.  Our review reveals that the complaints filed
against Cable Satellite, while asserting that they challenge CPST rates, challenge only rates for
basic service, not for CPST.  The complaints therefore do not trigger the Commission's
jurisdiction, and are accordingly dismissed.

 2.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 623(a)(2)(A)and(B) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 543(c) (1996), that the complaints
filed between October 15, 1993 and October 20, 1993, against the CPST rate charged by Cable
Satellite, CUID Nos. FL0529 and FL0914, ARE DISMISSED.   
      
 3.   This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
