                                  ORDER

   Adopted:  February 17, 1998                     Released:  February 20, 1998  

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

  1.    In this Order we consider a complaint concerning the rate charged by the above-
referenced Operator ("Operator") for its cable programming service tier ("CPST") in the community
referenced above.  In a Memorandum Opinion and Order released December 5, 1994 ("Prior  Order"),
the Commission  found that Operator's system serving the community referenced above is subject to
effective competition because it serves less than 30 percent of the households in the franchise area
referenced above.  Based on our finding of effective competition in our Prior Order, Operator's system
in the franchise area in the community referenced above is not subject to rate regulation and therefore,
we dismiss all pending complaints for this system.  

  2.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's
Rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321, that the referenced complaint against the CPST rate charged by Operator
in the community referenced above IS DISMISSED.
