DATE: March 20j 1995
SUBJECT: TOLL THE TIME FOR REVIEW OF TCI CABLEVISION AND VIACOM CABLE
SYSTEMS BASIC RATES.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Issue order tolling the time for review of FCC Form 1205s submitted
by TCI Cablevision systems and Viacom Cable systems for an
additional ninety (90) days .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the rules adopted to implement rate regulations by the
Federal Communications Committee (FCC) , TCI Cablevision systems
(Walnut Creek, Brentwood and Contra Costa) and Viacom Cable systems
(Pinole and Pittsburg) submitted FCC Form 1205 to update regulated
equipment and installation charges based on 1994 calendar year
costs .
Under the FCC rules, the County has a period of 30 days to review
and act upon the Form 1205 (FCC Rules 76 . 922 (d) ( 3) and 76 . 933(a) ) .
If the review cannot be completed in that time, the time for review
may be extended an additional ninety (90) days (FCC Rule
76 . 933(b) ) .
Since the rates from the Form 1205 are on top of previously
submitted Form 1205 (submitted with baseline Form 1200) and those
rates are currently being reviewed-, staff will not be able to
complete review of the newly submitted Form 1205s within the
initial 30 day time period.
