Sec.  76.954   Initial review of complaint; minimum showing requirement; dismissal
of defective complaints.

   (a)  The  Commission  will conduct an initial review of a complaint to
   determine if it meets the minimum showing required to allow the complaint to
   go forward. The minimum showing shall be satisfied if the complaint is filed
   using the standard complaint form described in  Sec. 76.951 and includes all
   information and attachments required by that form. A complainant will not be
   required,  as  part  of the minimum showing, to provide the underlying
   information  and calculations necessary to judge the cable programming
   service rate in question against the Commission's rate standards.

   (b) A complaint that does not meet the minimum showing requirement described
   in paragraph (a) of this section will be considered defective. A defective
   complaint  will  be  dismissed without prejudice to filing a corrected
   complaint as provided by  Sec. 76.955. The Commission will notify the complainant
   by mail of the dismissal. The filing of a complaint on the applicable form,
   but  which  is  otherwise  defective,  will toll the limitation period
   established by  Sec. 76.953.
