Until the sunset of CPST rate regulation, issues regarding CPST rates were to be raised to the Commission in a timely-filed complaint. See 47 U.S.C. � 543(a)(2)(B), (c); 47 C.F.R. � 76.950. The February 1995 Order at � 2 states that the City had filed and supplemented a complaint with the Commission regarding CPST rates. The City may not use BST rate proceedings to offset alleged CPST overcharges or refund underpayments. See Cencom Cable Income Partners II, L.P., 12 FCC Rcd 7948 (1997). Instructions for FCC Form 1210 at 8 (May 1995).
