After reviewing this FCC Form 1240, the Cable Division determined that TWC had not justified the external costs for the Capital News 9 channel in accordance with the affiliate transaction rules in sections 76.922(f)(6) and 76.924(i)(1) of the Commission's rules, which require a showing of fair market value. The Cable Division did not impute a fair market value, stating that TWC would not provide relevant information in response to the Cable Division's requests for such information. Instead, the Cable Division disallowed the programming costs associated with the channel and directed TWC to resubmit its FCC Form

Section Number and Title: 76.924(i)(6) and (7) Allocation to service cost categories. Brief Description: This rule sets forth the standards commercial leased access rates. Need: This rule adopts amendments to the cable attribution and affiliation rules, which determine whether an entity is subject to the Commission's cable regulations, in order to more accurately identify interests that confer on their holders the ability to influence or

In implementing this statutory provision, the Commission permitted the total amount of franchise fees to be accorded external treatment (i.e., added back to the rate after other calculations are performed) at the time the system becomes subject to regulation, rather than only the amount of additional franchise fees incurred after that date. Section 76.924(f)(3) of the Commission's rules provides that the costs of franchise fees shall be allocated among the equipment and the service cost categories in a manner that is most consistent with the methodology of assessment of franchise fees by local authorities. Section 622(c) permits cable operators to identify as a separate line item on each regular subscriber bill the amount of
