<br />Re: Adelphia's FCC Form 1215 - A La Carte Channel Offerings
<br />Our File No. 24427.4
<br />Dear Clyde:
<br />• The City of Charlottesville, Virginia ("City") has retained Mass &
<br />Barnett, A Professional Association, to assist the City in reviewing FCC rate
<br />regulation forms submitted by Multi -Channel T.V. Cable Company d/b/a Adelphia
<br />Cable Communications ("Adelphia"). Adelphia has submitted to the City FCC
<br />Forms 1200, 1205 and 1215. These forms were received by the City on
<br />August 23, 1994. FCC regulations require that the City take action on
<br />Adelphia's rate regulation filing within 30 days from the City's date of
<br />receipt (See 47 C.F.R. § 76.933). -"
<br />On August 25, 1994 I sent a letter via certified mail, return receipt
<br />requested to Mr. John B. Glicksman, Assistant General Counsel for Adelphia,
<br />placing Adelphia on notice that pursuant to 47 C.F.R. S 76.933 the time period
<br />for the City's review of Adelphia's rate submission was extended for an
<br />additional 90 days beyond the original 30 day time period. Therefore, the
<br />City has until December 19, 1994 (120 days from the City's date of receipt) to
<br />take action on Adelphia's FCC Form 1200 and 1205. With respect to Adelphia's
<br />FCC Form 1215, the City has, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 76.986, 60 days to make
<br />an initial decision addressing whether a collective offering of "a la carte"
<br />channels will be treated as an unregulated service or a regulated tier. Thus,
<br />the City must make an initial decision on Adelphia's Form 1215 on or before
<br />October 22, 1994.
<br />DESCRIPTION OF FCC FORM 1215
<br />Unlike

<br />1200
<br />and 1205, FCC
