  • Thirteenth Order on Reconsideration, 11 FCC Rcd 388, 438 ¶ 123 (1995) (``Thirteenth Reconsideration Order''). See id. at 413 ¶ 56 (operators' inability to recover costs incurred as a result of delays in the rate review process under the quarterly rate adjustment method was a consideration in Commission's adoption of alternative annual rate adjustment methodology). See also 47 C.F.R. § 76.925 listing costs includable as franchise cost requirements. Second fX Letter cited by Cencom does not require a different result. There the Commission allowed operators to implement programming changes during the transition period to new rate regulations without a penalty when the changes had been planned before the rule changes were announced. Operators could include the associated programming costs as external

  • increase, but not the original ``base'' payment of $100,000. We concluded that the operator's costs were an ``incremental increase'' under the Thirteenth Order on Reconsideration and granted its appeal. We also stated that we would not ``extend external cost treatment to all possible circumstances'' and we identified franchise-required costs that could be passed through to subscribers in 47 C.F.R. § 76.925(a). 13. Our rules provide that operators may adjust their rates to reflect changes in external costs. Our rules also define external costs as consisting of seven categories, including the ``costs of complying with franchise requirements.'' The ``costs of franchise requirements'' are defined more specifically in section 76.925(a) as follows: (1) Costs of providing PEG access channels; (2) Costs of PEG

Clearly, TCI-EI would have had to relocate its cable, or cease operating the affected portions of its cable system, notwithstanding any franchise agreement clauses. Second, nothing in TCI-EI's franchise agreement relating to pole relocations required the placing of any cable underground, as required by Section 76.925(a)(5) for qualification as franchise requirements for the purposes at issue here. Nothing in the Commission's Thirteenth Reconsideration Order supports TCI-EI's argument that the costs of pole to pole cable relocations qualify for pass through treatment as external costs, particularly where, as here, the relocations surely would have incurred in the absence of any specific franchise requirements. Finally, TCI-EI submitted nothing

Clearly, Falcon would have had to relocate its cable to new poles, or cease operating the affected portions of its cable system, notwithstanding any franchise agreement clauses. Second, the pole relocations did not involve placing the cable underground, as required by Section 76.925(a)(5) for qualification as franchise requirements for the purposes at issue here. Nothing in the Commission's Thirteenth Reconsideration Order supports Falcon's argument that the costs of pole to pole cable relocations qualify for pass through treatment as external costs, particularly where, as here, the relocations surely would have incurred in the absence of any specific franchise requirements. ordering clause For the

  • not provide such services in the absence of a franchising requirement. Because such costs are largely beyond the control of the cable operator, we believe they should be passed on to subscribers without a cost-of-service showing.'' Thus the Commission clearly intended for PEG Access payments to be accorded external cost treatment, provided the payment is consistent with Sections 76.922(f) and 76.925 of the Commission's rules. TCI of Richardson, Inc. clarifies that new PEG Access payments or increases in payments experienced after rate regulation are recoverable as external costs regardless of the effective date of the franchise imposing the requirement. In ruling on an appeal of a local rate order, we will sustain the franchising authority's decision provided there is a reasonable

  • Commission's rate forms, Harron contends that senior citizen discounts were not addressed in the Commission's rate benchmarks and the costs of the discounts are not recovered through the operator's initial benchmark rates. Thus, it argues, the costs should be recoverable as external costs. While also acknowledging that senior citizen discounts are not specifically enumerated as recoverable franchise costs in Section 76.925 of the Commission's rules, it argues that these discounts have the same characteristics as other franchise-imposed obligations that may be passed through to subscribers. The operator cites language in the Commission's Thirteenth Order on Reconsideration stating that a pass-through of a franchise-imposed cost is permissible where ``operators generally would not provide such services in the absence of a franchising requirement.''
