SUBJECT: TOLL THE REVIEW TIME FOR TCI CABLEVISION SYSTEMS BASIC RATES
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 TCI Cablevision systems for an addition of ninety(90) days.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the 1992 Cable Act, TCI Cablevision systems have submitted FCC Form 1200s, 1210s and 1205s.
These documents are currently under review by staff.
On February 3, 1994, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized systems eligible for transition relief
to adjust their rates to reflect the net of a 5.21% inflation adjustment, minus any inflation adjustments already received.
In early March, TCI submitted the appropriate FCC Forms to take the above adjustment for their systems in Walnut
Creek, Contra Costa and Brentwood.
Because this inflation adjustment 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 in cases not involving cost-of-service
showings.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Board toll the review time for TCI Cablevision systems' inflation rates for an
additional ninety(90) days.
