SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ISSUE order tolling the time for review of the inflation rate on basic cable television services and related
equipment rates submitted by Viacom Cablevision (Bay Point)for an additional ninety (90) days.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the 1992 Cable Act, on November 7, 1995 Viacom Cablevision (Bay Point) has submitted an
FCC Form 1210 to increase basic service rates and equipment. Staff is currently in the process of reviewing the
FCC Form 1220 (cost-of-service showing) and a previously submitted FCC Form 1210 for Viacom's Bay Point
system.
Because this increase is directly related to prior rate submissions, the review time should be extended to allow for
coordination and completion of review of all filings. As authorized by the FCC in Section 76.933, review of basic
cable rate increases can be extended for an additional ninety (90) days.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Board toll the review time for Viacom Cablevision's (Bay Point) for an
additional ninety (90) days.
