ORDER
                           
   Adopted:  February 20, 1998                     Released:  February 25, 1998  

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

  1.    Here we consider requests to withdraw FCC Form 329 rate complaints ("complaints"). 
The Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") received letters from the local franchising
authorities ("LFAs") for the above-referenced communities requesting that the Commission allow the
LFAs to withdraw their complaints against the cable services programming tier ("CPST") rates charged
by the above-referenced Operator ("Operator").  We will allow the withdrawal of the complaints, and
our review of the resulting rate justifications will therefore be terminated.

  2.    Our records show that, in each community set forth above, the LFA was the only
complainant that filed a valid complaint with the Commission.  Under the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992, and our rules implementing it, the Commission must review
CPST rates upon the filing of a valid complaint.  The withdrawal of the only complaints against an
operator's CPST rate in a community constitutes the termination of our jurisdiction to regulate those
rates.

  3.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the request to withdraw the FCC Form 329 rate
complaints against the CPST rates charged by the Operator in the communities referenced above IS
GRANTED, and the review of the resulting rate justification filings IS TERMINATED.

  4.    This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
