(TCIC), on behalf of your local TCI -affiliated cable operator, Communications Services, Inc., hereby submits its response to your notice seeking an explanation of our present basic tier and equipment rates. TCIC and Communications Services, Inc. intend to comply fully with all applicable FCC requirements. To the extent the rates contained in this amended response are different from the current rates, such rates, if approved would represent a restructuring of our current rates. As we all know, there remains considerable uncertainty about various aspects of "benchmark" regulation. Accordingly, we hereby reserve the right to make future corrections to this filing. The cable operator also requests the right to make future adjustments in its rates, to the extent that any error was made in computing the benchmark rates. Such latitude is essential given the confusion surrounding the initiation of benchmark regulation. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to comply with all of the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act. If you have any questions or concerns about this filing, please bring them to the attention of your local cable manager. He or she will do their best to answer your questions or get you the answer in a timely manner. Considering the complexity of the 1992 Cable Act we hope you will work with us as we endeavor to fully comply with the law. Sincerely, TCI CENTRAL, INC.

C. 20554 FCC 393 Determination of Maximum Initial Permitted Rates For Regulated Cable Programming Services and Equipment App rwW by OMS 3060.0571 Ezpim 06/30/96 August 1993 INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEETS CALCULATING MAXIMUM INITIAL PERMITTED RATES FOR REGULATED CABLE SERVICES These instructions are to be used when completing Worksheets 1 through 5 of Part 11 of FCC Form 393. Using the worksheets will enable you to compute the maximum rate you may currently charge for regulated programming services under the FCC's rules. If your current rates exceed the maximum permitted rate you calculate on the worksheets, you must submit a cost -of -service showing to support your rates. If you do not do so, you will have your rates reduced to the maximum perTnitted rate and will be ordered to refund the excess to subscribers as necessary. An overview of the various calculations you may be making is set forth in the General Instructions for completing this form. In addition, a decision Flow chart is attached as Attachment B to this Part. This chart is designed to help you visualize the different steps you will be taking to compute your maximum initial permitted rate. Reviewing these materials first will assist you in completing the worksheets. All calculations on the Worksheets (Parts II and 111) should be carred out to at least three decimal points. The results should be rounded to the nearest cent - (.004 or less down, .005 or more up) only when the final tier charge result is entered on Line (6) of the Service Charge sections of Part I ("Request for Cable Rate Approval Cover Sheet') and the final equipment charges are entered on the Equipment and Installation Rate sections of that Cover Sheet. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET 1: Worksheet 1 must be used to calculate the average Base Rate Per Channel that you are currently charging for regulated programming services and associated equipment. The Worksheet also must be used to compute the Benchmark Channel Rate with which your current Base Rate Per Channel will be compared. If your current Base Rate Per Channel is equal to or lower than the Benchmark Channel Rate, your rates will be found reasonable and you will not have to reduce them. If, however, your current Base Rate Per Channel exceeds the Benchmark Channel Rate, you will have to reduce your rate in accordance with the calculations set forth in Worksheet 2. Line 101 — Tier Charge. In the relevant column, enter your current monthly charge for your basic service tier and for each tier of cable programming service that you offer to subscribers in the community unit for which the form is being completed.' Do not include any premium programming offered on a per channel or per program basis. In addition, use your standard non -discounted program service rates; do not use any bulk or other discounted rates that you may offer to special classes of customers. Line 102 — Tier Channels. In the relevant column, enter the number of channels included in each tier of regulated programming services you offer to subscribers in the community unit. For purposes of completing the worksheets, a 'channel" is a unit of cable service identified and selected by a channel number or similar designation. Channels are not excluded from consideration based on their contents and may include, for example, directory and menu channels. Total regulated channels include all channels on the basic service tier and cable programming service tiers. The distribution of several programming service; combined on a single channel does not increase the number of channels on the system. Line 103 —Tier Subscribers. In the relevant column, enter the number of subscribers in the community unit who subscribe to each tier indicated. Line 104 — Equipment Revenue Per Month. To calculate your monthly average equipment revenue, take the total revenues you earned over the last fiscal yea for the community unit for the following categories of equipment and installation services: (1) converter box rental; (2) remote control rental; (3) additional outle fees; (4) installation fees; (5) disconnect fees; (6) reconnect fees; and (7) tier changing fees. Divide that total by 12 to compute your Equipment Revenue Pe Month. Enter this figure in Column A of Line 104. Weighting. In order to determine the average Base Per Channel Rate paid by subscribers to your system, the per channel rate for each tier is weighted according to the number of subscribers to that tier, so that tiers with more subscribers count more in determining the average than tiers with fewer subscribers. Thi weighting is done by determining a weighted monthly rate per subscriber (the "Charge Factor' calculated in Line 105) and dividing by a weighted number o channels received by each subscriber (the "Channel Factor" calculated in Line 106). Line 105 — Charge Factor. Multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column A in Line 101 times the number of subscribers for that tier set forth in Column A h Line 103. Add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 104 to this figure and enter the sum in Column A, Line 105. Next, multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column B in Line 101 times the number of subscribers in Column B of Line 103. Enter the result in Column B ii Line 105 — do not add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 104. Repeat this calculation for each other Column that you have completed. Finally, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 105 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 105. Line 106 — Channel Factor. Multiply the number of channels in Column A in Line 102 times the number of subscribers in Column A in Line 103. Enter th result in Column A of Line 106. Repeat the same calculation for each column in Line 106. Then, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 106 together an enter the total in Column E of Line 106. Line 107 — Charge Per Channel. Divide the total Charge Factor from Column E, Line 105 by the total Channel Factor from Column E, Line 106. Enter tit result in Column E of Line 107. You have now completed the weighting process. Franchise Fees. The calculations in Lines 108 and 109 will enable you to separate out any franchise fees that you include in your subscriber rates. If you chart subscribers separately for franchise fees and do not include those fees in your service rates, you do not need to complete these steps and should enter SO.0 ' When completing this form, except where noted, you should use data from the community unit involved. However, you may use data for the syste instead of the community unit if all relevant factors (including program service and equipment rates, channel line-ups and franchise fees) are identical aad It local franchising authority (or, where relevant, the FCC) permits you to use such system data FCC 393 (rate 1 Autust 1Y in Lines 108 and 109. If you do include franchise fees in your service rates, complete Lines 108 and 109. For purposes of this calculation, "franchise fees" means fees paid by the cable operator to the local franchising authority which only cable operators, and not owners of other kinds of businesses, are required ,ay. .e 108 — Franchise Fee Expense (Monthly). Calculate the franchise fees you pay for regulated tiers of service for the community unit during an average month. Enter that total monthly payment in Column E of Line 108. Line 109 — Franchise Fee Deduction. To calculate the weighted per channel franchise fee, divide the Monthly Franchise Fee Expense from Line 108, Column E by the total Channel Factor from Line 106, Column E. Enter the result in Column E of Line 109. Line 110 — Base Rate Per Channel. Subtract the Franchise Fee Deduction in Line 109 from the Charge Per Channel in Line 107. Enter the result in the box in Line 1 10. This number is your current Base Rate Per Channel. It is the number that will be compared to your competitive benchmark to determine whether your current rates are reasonable or need to be reduced. Benchmark Calculation. The next calculation you will perform will give you your competitive benchmark rate. This rate represents the rate that would be charged by a cable system facing competition that has similar characteristics to your own. The three characteristics that will be used in this analysis are: (1) the number of channels on regulated program tiers that you offer; (2) the number of subscribers served by your cable system; and (3) the number of satellite - delivered signals you carry on your regulated program tiers. Line 121 — Benchmark Per Channel Rate. Attachment A contains the benchmark rates per channel for cable systems with different numbers of channels on regulated tiers and different numbers of satellite -delivered signals. There are eight tables of benchmark rates for systems with 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500 and 10,000 subscribers. Using the table with the number of subscribers closest to the number of subscribers on your system, select the benchmark per channel rate from the table. Enter the selected benchmark per channel rate in Column E of Line 121. Notes: (1) When using the benchmark tables, use the number of regulated channels and satellite -delivered signals for the community unit. However, for the number of subscribers, use the number of subscribers on your system. (2) All systems with 10,000 or more subscribers should use the 10,000 subscriber table. Our analysis revealed that there is no measurable difference in the benchmark rates among systems with more than 10,000 subscribers. (3) For purposes of using the benchmark tables, a "satellite -delivered signal" is any cable program service or 'superstition" delivered on a communications satellite that is not a premium service (pay channel or pay-per-view channel). If a cable system picks up a satellite channel via a microwave or fiber optic feed, the channel remains a satellite channel if it is available by satellite unless it could be picked up directly over -the -air in the cable community. (4) If the total number of channels on regulated tiers and/or the total number of satellite -delivered channels on those tiers for your community unit falls between the channel increments listed in the tables, you must interpolate the correct benchmark per channel rate. Instructions on how to perform these interpolations are attached at the end of the benchmark rate tables. If you do not wish to interpolate the correct benchmark rate, select the lower rate of the two benchmark rates you fall between. matively, you may apply the FCC's benchmark formula to calculate your benchmark rate. The formula is attached to the benchmark tables. If you use formula, you must use the actual number of subscribers to your system, rather than the number of subscribers on the closest benchmark table. Inflation Adjustment. The benchmark per channel rate that you have just selected was based on cable rates in effect on September 30, 1992. Therefore, to make sure that the benchmark against which you will compare your current rates is not too low, the benchmark per channel rate must be adjusted forward for inflation since September 30, 1992. The calculations in Lines 122 through 128 of Worksheet 1 will enable you to adjust the Benchmark Per Channel Rate in Line 121 for inflation. Line 122 — GNP -PI (Current). Enter the Gross National Product Price Index (GNP -PI) for the most recent quarter in Column E of Line 122. This number can be found in the 'Survey of Current Business," Table 7.3, Line 5 (Most Recent Quarter), which is published monthly by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The number will also be published periodically by the FCC. Line 123 — Inflation Factor. Divide the current GNP -PI from Line 122 by the GNP -PI for the third quarter of 1992, which is 121.8. Subtract 1 from the resulting figure and enter the number in Column E of Line 123. Line 124 — Adjustment Time Period. Enter in Column E of Line 124 the number of whole months from September 30, 1992 to the date you will submit this form. Line 125 — GNP -PI Time Period. Enter in Column E of Line 125 the number of months from September 30, 1992 to the end of the most recent GNP -PI quarter. Line 126 — Time Factor. Divide the number of months in Line 124 by the number of months in Line 125 and enter in Column E of Line 126. Line 127 — Inflation Adjustment Factor. Multiply the Inflation Factor in Line 123 times the Time Factor in Line 126 Add 1 to the resulting figure and enter the number in Column E of Line 127_ Line 128 — Adjusted Benchmark Rate. Multiply the Benchmark Channel Rate from Line 121 times the Inflation Adjustment Factor from Line 127. Enter the resulting Figure in Column E of Line 128 This is your benchmark channel rate that has been adjusted forward for inflation. You ate now ready to compare your current rate to the benchmark: ,he Base Rate Per Channel in Line 1 10 is less than or equal to the Adjusted Benchmark Rate in Line 128, your current per channel rate is reasonable and i do not need to reduce it You should now skip to Worksheet 3 and enter the rate from Line 1 10 in Line 300 of Worksheet 3. This worksheet will enable ou to remove your equipment and installation costs from your Base Rate Per Channel The resulting number will be the maximum rate per channel you can currently charge for regulated programming services. If the Base Rate Por Channel in Linn 1 !0 is gre.iter than the Adjusted Benchmark Rate in Line 118, your current per channel rate is unreasonable and must bo reduced if you du not wr,h to suomrt a Cost a -ser-, ee showing fi: determine what vour maximum permitted rate is, you must complete Worksheet 2. I , , "I rr ", 1 11 INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET 2: If your current per channel rate is above the benchmark, you must now examine your per channel rate as of September 30, 1992 and compare it to the enchmark. If your September 30, 1992 rate was also above the benchmark, your maximum permitted rate will be your September 30, 1992 rate, reduced y 10 percent or to the benchmark, whichever reduction is less. If you do not implement this rate reduction, you must submit a cost -0f -service showing. If your current rate is above the benchmark but your September 30, 1992 rate was equal to or below the benchmark, your maximum permitted rate will be the benchmark rate, as adjusted for inflation. If you do not reduce your rate to this level, you must submit a cost -of -service showing. Worksheet 2 will enable you to calculate your Base Per Channel Rate as of September 30, 1992 and then compare that rate to the Benchmark Channel Rate. The calculations will mirror those you performed when computing your current Base Per Channel Rate on Worksheet 1. Line 201 - Tier Charge. In the relevant column, enter your monthly charge as of September 30, 1992 for your basic service tier and for each tier of cable programming service that you offered to subscribers in the community unit on that date. Do not include any premium programming offered on a per channel or per program basis. In addition, use your standard non -discounted program service rates; do not use any bulk or other discounted rates that you may have offered to special classes of customers. Line 202 - Tier Channels. In the relevant column, enter the number of channels included in each tier of regulated programming services you offered to subscribers in the community unit as of September 30, 1992. Line 203 - Tier Subscribers. In the relevant column, enter the number of subscribers in the community unit who subscribed to each tier indicated as of September 30, 1992. Line 204 - Equipment Revenue Per Month. To calculate your monthly average equipment revenue as of September 30, 1992, take the total revenues you earned over the preceding fiscal year for the community unit for the following categories of equipment and installation services: (1) converter box rental; (2) remote control rental; (3) additional outlet fees; (4) installation fees; (5) disconnect fees; (6) reconnect fees; and (7) tier changing fees. Divide that total by 12 to compute your Equipment Revenue Per Month as of September 30, 1992. Enter this figure in Column A of Line 204. Line 205 - Charge Factor. Multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column A in Line 201 times the number of subscribers for that tier set forth in Column A in Line 203. Add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 204 to this figure and enter the sum in Column A, Line 205. Next, multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column B in Line 201 times the number of subscribers in Column B of Line 203. Enter the result in Column B in Line 205 - do not add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 204. Repeat this calculation for each other Column that you have completed. text, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 205 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 205. Line 206 - Channel Factor. Multiply the number of channels in Column A in Line 202 times the number of subscribers in Column A in Line 203. Enter the result in Column A of Line 206. Repeat the same calculation for each column in Line 206. Then, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 206 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 206. Line 207 - Charge Per Channel. Divide the total Charge Factor from Column E, Line 205 by the total Channel Factor from Column E, Line 206. Enter the result in Column E of Line 207. Line 208 - Franchise Fee Expense (Monthly). Calculate the (non -itemized) franchise fees you paid for regulated tiers of service for the community unit during an average month for the fiscal year preceding September 30, 1992. Enter that total monthly payment in Column E of Line 208. Line 209 - Franchise Fee Deduction. To calculate the weighted per channel franchise fee, divide the Monthly Franchise Fee Expense from Line 208, Column E by the total Channel Factor from Line 206, Column E. Enter the result in Column E of Line 209. Line 210 - Base Rite Per Channel (September 30, 1992). Subtract the Franchise Fee Deduction in Line 209 from the Charge Per Channel in Line 207. Enter the result in the box in Line 210. This number is your Base Rate Per Channel as of September 30, 1992. It will be compared to your competitive benchmark as of September 30, 1992 as part of computing your current maximum permitted rate. Line 220 - Benchmark Channel Rate (September 30, 1992). To compare your September 30, 1992 Base Per Channel Rate to the benchmark, use the number of regulated channels and satellite -delivered signals for the community unit. and the subscribers on your systemas of September 30, 1992 to find the appropriate September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate on the benchmark tables attached as Attachment A. (.g= instructions for Line 121, above, for further guidance in using benchmark tables.) You are now ready to compare your September 30, 1992 rate to the September 30, 1992 benchmark: If your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 210E) is less than or equal to the September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate (Line 220E), your maximum permitted rate will be the September 30, 1992 benchmark rate, adjusted forward for inflation. You may no%v skip to Worksheet 3 and enter the number in Line 220E on Line 300. Worksheet 3 will enable you to remove your equipment and installation costs from this per channel rate to determine what your maximum permitted program service rate should be f your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 210) is greater than the September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate (Line 220), your maximum permitted rate will be your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel, reduced by 10 percent or to the benchmark, .whichever yields tl,e higher rate. To comp:iie this rate, you will need to complete Line 230 Line 2 10 - Reduced Base Rate Per Channel. Multiply viiur September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 210) times 0.9 to reduce that rate by 10 percent; anter - resulting, number in the box in Line 230. Then iake the greater of the September 30, 1992 benchmark (Line 2 20) and the duceo rate per channel you 1, 1.•.—, just comouied in Line 230 and enter it m tim- 100 on Woo 'feet 3 r« 114 t (Parr ii) INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET 3: The per channel rates you have calculated so far have included both programming service rates and rates for equipment and installations. The 1992 Cable ct, however, requires you to unbundle your programming service rates from your equipment and installation rates, as well as to unbundle those rates one om the other. Worksheet 3 is thus designed to separate your equipment and installation costs from your programming service rates. The resulting rate will ! a per channel rate for programming services alone. Line 300 — Base Rate Per Channel. If you completed Worksheet 1 only, enter your Base Rate Per Channel from Line 110 on Worksheet 1 on Line 300. If you completed both Worksheets 1 and 2, enter the appropriate figure from either Line 220 or Line 230. Line 301 — Equipment and Installation Costs (Monthly). In order to complete this line, you must have completed Schedules A, B and C and the Worksheet for Equipment and Installation Charges in Part III of this forth. Enter Line 34 from Step G of that Equipment Worksheet in Line 301. This figure reflects the costs you incur in an average month for equipment and installations. Line 302 — Channel Factor. If you completed Worksheet 1 only, enter the number from Line 106, Column E. If you completed Worksheet 2, enter the number from Line 206, Column E. Line 303 — Cost per Subscriber -Channel. To determine your equipment/ installation costs per subscriber per channel, divide your monthly equipment and installation costs from Line 301 by the channel factor from Line 302. Enter the resulting figure in Line 303. Line 304 — Base Service Rate Per Channel. To unbundle your equipment and installation costs from your base per channel rate, subtract the Costs Per Subscriber Per Channel in Line 303 from the Base Per Channel Rate in Line 300. Enter the resulting figure in Line 304. If you completed Worksheet 1 only, the rate reflected in Line 304 is your maximum permitted rate per channel for programming services. You should enter this rate in Line 600 and complete Part I of Form 393, "Request for Cable Rate Approval Cover Sheet." If you completed Worksheets 1 and 2, you will need to adjust the Base Service Rate Per Channel in Line 304 for inflation and therefore must complete Worksheet 4. Moreover, if there have been changes in the number of regulated channels and/or subscribers on your system since September 30, 1992, you will also need to adjust the Base Service Rate Per Channel in Line 304 to reflect these changes. This can be done by completing Worksheet 5 after you finish Worksheet 4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET 4: Worksheet 4 is to be used to adjust your maximum permitted rate for inflation that has occurred between September 30, 1992 and the date you submit this rm. Since you have previously calculated the appropriate inflation adjustment factor in completing Worksheet 1, you will simply need to apply that factor the Base Service Rate Per Channel calculated in Worksheet 3. Line 400 — Base Service Rate Per Channel. Enter the Base Service Rate Per Channel from Line 304 of Worksheet 3. Line 401 — Inflation Adjustment Factor. Enter the Inflation Adjustment Factor you previously calculated from Line 127 of Worksheet 1. - Line 402 — Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel. Multiply the Base Service Rate Per Channel in Line 400 times the Inflation Adjustment Factor in Line 401. Enter the resulting number in Line 402. This figure is your Base Service Rate Per Channel, as adjusted for inflation. Adiust ments for Changes Since September 30. 1992. If you completed Worksheet 2, the benchmark channel rate you used for those calculations was based on the number of regulated channels, sate[ I ite-del ivered signals and subscribers to your system as of September 30, 1992. If none of these factors has since changed, you may appropriately use that benchmark and therefore need not complete Worksheet 5. If, however, there has been a change in your system with regard to one or more of these three factors since September 30, 1992, your base rate per channel must be adjusted to reflect the change in the benchmark applicable to your system. Therefore, you will need to adjust your permitted rate to account for these changes. Worksheet 5 should be used to perform these calculations. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET S: Line 500 — Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel. Enter your Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel from Line 402. Line 501 — Benchmark Channel Rate (Baseline). Enter the Benchmark Channel Rate you computed in Line 220 of Worksheet 2. Line 502 — Benchmark Channel Rate (New). Enter the Benchmark Channel Rate you computed 1n Line 121 E of Worksheet 1. Line S03 — Channel Adjustment Factor. Subtract your Baseline Benchmark Channel Rate in Line 501 from your New Benchmark Channel Rate in Line 502. Divide the resulting number by your Baseline Benchmark Channel Rate 1n line 501 and enter this figure in Line 503. Line SO4 — Channel Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel. Take the Channel Adjustment Factor in Line 503 and add 1. Then, multiply the resulting figure times the Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel in Line 500 This will give you your Channel Adjusted Base Service Rate Per Channel. Enter this number in Line 600. Congratulations! You have now completed all calculations necessary to compute your maximum permitted rate per channel under the FCC's rate regulations.

The second page for the table with 50 subscribers shows the benchmark rate for 25-100 channels and 0-100 satellite channels. Select the table with the number of subscribers closest to the number of subscribers on your system. Note that all systems with 10,000 or more subscribers will use the tables for systems with 10,000 subscribers. 2 If the total number of channels on the regulated tiers and the total number of satellite channels on those regulated tiers for your community unit equals the channels displayed in the selected table, use the indicated benchmark rate per channels. 3. If either the total number of channels on the regulated tiers or the total number of satellite channels on those regulated tiers for your community unit does not equal the channels displayed to the selected table, you may determine your benchmark rate per channel by using the Commission's formula, or you can perform one of the following calculations a. If the total number of satellite channels on the regulated tiers equals the satellite channels (rows), but the total number of channels on the regulated tiers does not equal the total channels (columns), you must do the following calculations: Go to the row with your number of satellite channels. Go across the row until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of channels than on your community unit. Subtract the lower rate per channel from the higher rate per channel. Divide this difference by 5 to obtain the per channel rate increment. For each channel on your community unit that is greater than the number of channels displayed in the table, subtract the incremental per channel rate from the rate per channel in the box with the next fewer number of total channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 10 satellite channels, and 27 channels in total. For 10 satellite channels and 25 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is 50.880. The benchmark rate per channel for 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels is $0.748 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is $0.132. The per channel rate increment is 50.026 (50.132/5 - $0.026 per channel). The benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is obtained by subtracting two times $0.026 from $0.880. Thus, the benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is 50.828 - (SO.880 - (2 x $0.026)). b. If the total number of channels on the regulated tiers equals the total channels (columns) but the total number of satellite channels on the regulated tiers does not equal the total satellite channels (rows), you must do the following calculation: Go to the column with your number of total channels. Go down the column until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of satellite channels than on your community unit. Subtract the lower rate per channel from the higher rate per channel. Divide this difference by 5 to obtain the per channel rate increment. For each satellite channel on your community unit that is greater than the number of channels displayed in the table, add the incremental per channel rate to the rate per channel in the box with the next fewer number of total channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 12 satellite channels, and 30 channels in total. For 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is SO.748. The benchmark rate per channel for 15 satellite channels and 30 total channels is $0.779 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is 50.031. The per channel rate increment is $0.0062 (50.031/5 - SO.0062 per channel). The benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is obtained•by adding two times SO.0062 to $0.748. Thus, the benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is $0.760 - (50.748 + (2 x $0.0062)). c. If both the total number of satellite channels and the total number of channels on the regulated tiers fall between the channels on the table, you must do the following calculation: Go to the two rows of satellite channels that are below and above, respectively, you number of satellite channels. Go across the rows until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of channels than on your community unit. Compute rates per channel as per step a. above separately for the exact number or total channels For the two rows of satellite channels Repeat step b above using these two new rates per channel for the total number of channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 12 satellite channels, and 27 channels in totai. Perform step a. above for both 10 and 15 satellite channels. For 10 satellite channels and 25 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is $0.880. The benchmark rate per channel for 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels is 50.748 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is $0.132. The per channel rate increment is SO 026 ($0.132/5 - SO.026 per channel) Therefore, the 10 satellite and 25 total channel rate or SO 880 is reduced by subtracting two times 50.026 from 50.880 to arrive at $0.828 (SO 880 - (2 x $0 026)) for a 10 satellite channel, 27 total channel benchmark rate. The same exercise is periormed for 15 satellite channels at 25 and 30 total channels to arrive at a 15 satellite channel benchmark at 27 total channels. At 15 satellite and 30 total channels the price per channel is 50.916 At 15 satellite and 30 total channel the price per channe' is 50.779. The difference is $0.137 (or SO. 13715 - S0.027/channel). So at 27 total channels, the rate for 1 5 satellite channels is SO 916 minus SO 054 (twice SO 027) or 50.862 There is now a range of 50.828/channel for 10 satellite channels and 27 total channels and SO 862 for 15 satellite also at 17 total channels Perfom, step b. above using these new exact values for 27 total channels The difference between 50.828/channel and 50.862/channel at 27 total channels 1s SO.034 (or SO 034/5 - SO.007/channel) For 12 satellite channels we add SO 014 (twice $0.007) to SO 828/channel to equal the benchmark rate or SO 842 FCC 193 (R+a,' ",K -t 199 t BENCHMARK FORMULA The benchmark formula is the following: LNP — 2.3509 + 7.3452 (RECIPSUB) - 0.8878 (LNCHAN) + 0 1006 (LNSAT) where LNP — natural logarithm of the benchmark rate per channel, RECIPSUB — 1/number of households subscribing to the cable system; LNCHAN — natural logarithm of the number of channels in use in all regulated tiers of service; LNSAT — natural logarithm of the number of sate] lite -del ivered channels in all regulated tiers of service. To calculate your benchmark per -channel rate, insert the reciprocal of the number of subscribers to your system, the natural logarithm of the number of channels of basic and cable programming service, and the natural logarithm of the number of satellite channels of basic' and cable programming service into the equation and take the antilogarithm of the result. Note that you should use the number of channels and satellite channels in the franchise area but the number of subscribers to the whole system.

Franchise fees have been excluded from this analysis in order to compare your monthly rate for the cable programming service tier to the maximum permitted level. Whether you itemize thetas or not, any franchise fees you pay for the cable programming service tier should be added to your monthly rate as part of the service charge when billing your subscribers. See 47 C.F.R. Section 76.985. Equipment and Installation Rates NOTE: If equipment used for cable programming service is also used to receive the basic tier, then it must be included in basic service equi Cent. Similarly, if an installation involving cable programming services also involves the basic service tier, it must be included in bait service installations. We anticipate that virtually all equipment and installations will involve the basic service tier and there will thus be no need to complete this part of the cover sheet_ However, if you lease equipment and/or provide some installation elated service that involves ONLY your cable programming services, you should complete the following section. As for basic service, your equipment and installation rates for cable programming service must not be included in your program service rate, but rather must be completely unbundled. In addition, those equipment and installation rates must not exceed your actual costs, including a reasonable profit. The method for unbundling your equipment and installation rates from cable programming service rates, and for determining your permitted equipment and installation rates, is prescribed in Part II (unbundling) and Part III (rate -setting) of this form. Enter in the spaces below the rate figures you have calculated in Part III of this form.

FCC 393 (h{e II Aupat 1"3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FCC FORM 393 (DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM INITIAL PERMITTED RATES FOR REGULATED CABLE PROGRAMMING SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT) Cable operators should use this form to calculate (1) rates for existing basic service or equipment requiring approval by local franchising authorities or the FCC, and (2) rates for cable programming service or equipment that are the subject of a complaint filed with the FCC. This form will determine whether your rates for basic service and cable programming service are reasonable under FCC regulations, 47 C.F.R. Section 76.1000 eiseu. NOTE: After your initial rate for basic service has been approved by the government, you must submit the RATE INCREASE FORM if you wish to subsequently increase your basic service rates. If the Commission found your cable programming service rates to be unreasonable less than one year ago and you now wish to increase your rates, you must submit the RATE INCREASE FORM to the Commission for its approval before raising your rates. In addition, if there was no such Commission decision and you raise your cable programming service rates while a complaint about those rates is pending, you must inform the FCC of the rate increase and submit a revised version of this form analyzing the new, higher rates under the FCC's rate standards. This form should be filed with the local franchising authority, or with the FCC in situations where the FCC has assumed jurisdiction to regulate at for basic service and associated equipment, in order to obtain approval of your existing rates for basic service and associated equipment. It should also be filed with the FCC when you are required to respond to a subscriber's complaint regarding your rates for cable programming service and associated equipment. File an original and one copy with the appropriate regulating entity. Filings made with the FCC should be mailed to the following address: Federal Communications Commission, Request for Cable Rate Approval, P. O. Box 18598, Washington, D. C. 20036. If, after completing these calculations, you determine that your existing service rate is above the maximum permitted rate, and you do not wish to lower your rate to that level, you must submit a detailed cost -0f -service showing justifying the higher rate. Equipment rates must be based on actual cost, as determined in the equipment sections, Part III of this form. The basic service tier is the tier which includes the broadcast signals you carry (except for superstations) along with public, educational and government access channels that are required by the local franchising authority to be carried on the basic tier. You may include additional services on this tier. Equipment used to receive the basic service tier includes remotes, converter boxes, home wiring and wiring for additional connections. i. Cable programming service consists of all video programming distributed over a cable system that is not included in the basic service tier or offered on a per -channel or per -program basis. Equipment associated with cable programming service, if any, consists of equipment used exclusively to receive such services; this equipment must not be used to receive the basic tier. 6. form consists of three parts. PART l is the Cover Sheet, where you should fill in the information derived from Part II and Part III. PART 11 will enable _ _ to determine your maximum permitted rate for the basic service tier or cable programming service, depending on the service for which you are filing. If your rates exceed the permitted levc;s calculated in this form, you must submit a separate cost -of -service showing or reduce your rates to the permitted level. PART III will enable you to determine your actual costs for equipment used by subscribers to receive regulated programming service. The 1992 Cable Act requires that you charge no more than actual cost for this equipment. PART II contains five worksheets. Worksheet 1 (Calculation of Rates in Effect on Initial Date of Regulation and Benchmark Comparison) allows you to compare your current per -channel rate to the Commission's benchmark. The benchmark is the rate that a cable system that is subject to competition with the same number of subscribers, same number of channels, and same number of satellite channels as your system would charge. If your current per - channel rate exceeds the benchmark, you must then come into compliance with the benchmark, which is based on rates as of September 30, 1992. You must therefore complete Worksheet 2 (Calculation of Rates in Effect on September 30, 1992 and Benchmark Comparison). This worksheet will require you to reduce your rate to the benchmark or to 90% of your September 30, 1992 per -channel rate, whichever rate is greater. Both Worksheets 1 and 2 allow you to calculate the per -channel rate you can legally charge by a process that weighs the number of channels on each tier and the price for each tier by the number of subscribers to each tier. 8. Worksheet 3, then, deducts equipment costs per subscriber from the per channel rate derived in Worksheets 1 and 2. The benchmark number does k not separately account for revenues from equipment, and the 1992 Cable Act prohibits you from charging more than your costs for equipment. Thus, you must adjust your permitted per -channel rate (calculated in Worksheets 1 and 2) by deducting equipment costs and charging for equipment costs separately. 9. If you calculated your rate from Worksheet 2, you must complete Worksheet 4, which will increase the rate you may charge in order to account for inflation. 1 10. Worksheet 5 must be completed if the number of regulated channels (that is, basic service channels and cable programming service channels) you currently offer is different from the number of channels used to calculate your Baseline Regulated Rate on either Worksheet 1 or Worksheet 2. If the number of regulated channels you now offer is the same as those you entered on Worksheet 1 or Worksheet 2, you do not need to complete Worksheet 5. 11. You should use Part III of this form to calculate your permitted rates for equipment and installation associated with receiving basic cable service or cable programming services. Equipment used to receive a basic ter of service includes (but .s not limited to) converter boxes, remote controls, connections for additional television sets, and cable home wiring. Equipment associated with cable programming service is equipment other than that which is used :ceive basic cable service. Rates for both basic service and cable programming service equipment and for installations must be based on actual cost must be unbundled from service rates. In addition; charges for individual items of equipment, as well as charges for installation and additional outlets, must be unbundled one from the other, and charges for different models of the same type of equipment must also be separated. 12. In Part III, you must calculate an Equipment Basket for either basic service or cable programming service equipment, depending on for which service you are filing. Use of this Equipment Basket will enable you to cet your equipment rates so that they are based on actual cost. -ncluding a reasonable profit, as mandated by the 199 2 Cable Ac.

Franchise fees have been excluded from this analysis in order to compare your monthly rate for the basic service tier to the maximum permitted level. Whether you itemize them or not, any franchise fees you pay for the basic service tier should be added to your monthly rate as part of the service when billing your subscribers. See 47 C.F.R. Section 76.985. FCC 393 (Pace 3) AuV.o 1993 FCC 393, Part 1, Page 2 EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION RATES TOTE: Your equipment and installation rates for the basic service tier must not be included in your program service rate for that ier, but rather must be completely unbundled. In addition, those equipment and installation rates must not exceed your actual costs, including a reasonable profit. The method for unbundling your equipment and installation rates from the basic service programming rate, and for determining your permitted equipment and installation rates, is prescribed in Part II (unbundling) and Part III (rate -setting) of this form.

You should submit this form to the local franchising authority (or, where relevant, the FCC) to calculate charges for equipment and service installation used to receive the basic service tier. Commission rules define this equipment as any customer equipment that is used to receive the basic service tier, even if that equipment is also used to receive other cable programming service tiers or unregulated services. This form will also be used by the Commission In reviewing complaints concerning charges for equipment and installation used to receive cable programming services.' Commission rules define equipment and installation used to receive cable programming services as all equipment and installation on a subscriber's premises that is used to receive either: (1) exclusively cable programming services; or (2) both cable programming services and pay per channel or pay per view programming. The information generated in Part III will also be used to remove equipment and installation costs from rates for regulated service. You should complete this form using financial data from the company's general ledger and subsidiary records maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (as required in FCC accounting instructions In 47 C.F.R. § 76.924). The data may be identified at the level of corporate organization at which the records are kept, but for purposes of calculating service rates the data must be adjusted to the franchise area level. When there has been an unusual change in operations or where there would be no material difference in results, data from a representative month may be used for the calculation of rates, subject to acceptance by the local franchising authority or, when applicable, by the FCC. Step A: Calculate the Hourly Service Charge. The Hourly Service Charge (HSC) is designed to recover the costs of service installation and maintenance of customer equipment. The HSC will be used as a factor In developing permitted charges for installation and monthly lease of individual pieces of equipment. To calculate the HSC, you will compute your annual capital costs plus expenses for the maintenance of customer equipment and the installation of basic tier service. (The HSC excludes the purchase cost of customer equipment; these costs will be recovered 1n the charge for the specific categories of equipment in Steps C, D, and E below.) You will divide the total by the total number of person -hours spent In those activities over the past year. Line 1. Enter the annual capital costs for equipment necessary for the maintenance and installation of cable facilities and cable services, plus operating expenses for maintenance and installation. Line 1 includes maintenance and installation costs for all cable facilities, not only customer equipment, if separate records are not kept for costs for customer equipment maintenance and installation service. You should determine the total annual capital costs and expenses by adding Box 1 of Schedule A (total annual capital costs) and Box 2 of Schedule B (total annual expenses, excluding depreciation). Instructions for. completing these schedules are attached to the schedules. Line 2. Enter the percentage of the costs and expenses entered in line 1 that is used for maintenance of customer equipment and customer Installations used to receive the basic service tier only and multi -tier equipment. Please attach an explanation of how you arrived at this percentage. Line 3. Multiply line 1 by line 2. The result will be your total annual capital costs and expenses incurred for maintenance of customer equipment and service installation used to receive the basic service tier. Line 4. Calculate the total number of person hours that were spent on maintenance of customer equipment and service installation in the 12 month period ending at the close of the most recent accounting period. For new equipment, use an estimate. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. Line 5. Divide line 3 by line 4. The result is the HSC. Step B. Calculate the Ch2rge for Installation. Step B allows an operator to elect whether to use a per hour rate for all installations or to use several average installation charges for different types of installations. Line 6. If you elect to charge an hourly rate for installations, the rate shall be the HSC. Write the HSC of line 5 in line 6. Line 7. If you choose to develop average installation charges, the charges shall be determined using Schedule D. Write the charges from Schedule D in lines 7a -7e (add more fines if necessary). Step G Calculate the Charge for Leased Remotes. Therental charge for a remote control unit is designed to recover the costs of providing and maintaining that type of remote control unit leased by a subscriber and includes a reasonable profit. Commission rules require cable operators to calculate charges for each significantly different type of remote control unit. Therefore, you must repeat the calculations in lines 8-14 for each type of remote listed in Schedule C. Attach extra sheets as needed. Line 8. List the total annual capital costs (depreciation, return on Investment, and applicable taxes) of this type of remote. This amount is taken from the appropriate line of Column J on Schedule C (the line number will differ depena,ng on the number of different types of remotes offered by the cable system). Instructions for completing Schedule C are attached to the schedule. Line 9. List the number of hours you spend per year repairing and servicing this Type of remote. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. For simplicity, the remainder of this form will refer to equipment and ins-allation for bask tier service. When calculating charges for -quipment and installation related to cable programming services, substituu- the appropriate o :tnbers relating to that equipment and Install,,i on FCC 393 (Parc 271 ♦.C_t 1993 Line 10. Multiply line 9 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing this type of remote. me 11. Add line 8 and line 10. The sum is the total annual cost for this type of remote. Line 12. List the total number of this type of remote that were in service on the last day you closed your books. Line 13. Divide line 1 1 by line 12. The result is the annual unit cost of this type of remote. Line 14. Divide line 13 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of this type of remote. Line 14 will be the maximum monthly lease charge for this type of remote. Step D. Calculate the Charge for Leased Converter Boxes. The rental charge for a converter box is designed to recover the costs of providing and maintaining that type of converter box leased by a subscriber and includes a reasonable profit. Commission rules require an operator to calculate charges for each significantly different type of converter box. For example, an addressable converter box and a converter box that acts solely as a tuner would be considered significantly different. Therefore, you must repeat the calculations in lines 15-21 for each type of converter box listed in Schedule C. Attach extra sheets as needed. Line 15. List the total annual capital costs (depreciation, return on investment, and applicable taxes) of this type of converter box. This amount is taken from the appropriate line of Column J on Schedule C (the line number will differ depending on the number of different types of converter boxes offered by the cable system). Line 16. List the number of hours you spend per year repairing and servicing this type of converter box. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. Line 17. Multiply line 16 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing this type of converter box. Line 18. Add line 15 and line 17. The sum is the total annual cost for this type of converter box. Line 19. List the total number of this type of converter box that were in service on the last day you closed your books. Line 20. Divide line 18 by line 19. The result is the annual unit cost of this type of converter box. ie 21.. Divide line 20 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of this type of converter box. Line 21 will be the maximum monthly lease charge fr this type of converter box. Step E. Calculate the Charge for Other Leased Equipment. The rental charge for other equipment is designed to recover the costs of providing and maintaining that equipment leased by a subscriber and includes a reasonable profit. Other equipment would include, for example, cable home wiring. An operator is permitted, but not required, to calculate charges for each significantly different type of other equipment. An operator choosing to establish charges for different types of other equipment must repeat the calculations in lines 22-28 for each type of other equipment listed in Schedule C. Attach extra sheets as needed. Line 22. List the total annual capital costs (depreciation, return on investment, and applicable taxes) of other leased equipment. This amount is taken from the appropriate line of Column I on Schedule C (the line number will differ depending on the number of different types of other equipment offered by the cable system). Line 23. List the number of hours you spend per year repairing and servicing this other equipment. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. Line 24. Multiply line 23 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing other equipment- Line quipmentLine 2S. Add line 22 and line 24. The sum is the total annual cost for other equipment. Line 26. List either the total number of units for this type of other equipment or the number of subscribers using this equipment, whichever is applicable, that were in service or using this equipment on the last day you closed your books. Line 27. Divide line 25 by line 26. The result is the annual unit cost of other equipment. Line 28. Divide line 27 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of other equipment. Line 28 will be the maximum monthly lease charge for other equipment. Step F: Calculate the Charge for Changing Service Tiers or Equipment. arges for changing service tiers effected solely by coded entry on a computer terminal or by other similarly simple method shall be nominal. Enter your ominal charge in line 29. However, to prevent an uneconomic level of chum, an operator may propose an escalating scale of charges for customers changing service tiers more than two times in one year. If you choose to adopt such increased charges, please attach a list of the charges and an explanation of why these charges are reasonable. This list should also be attached to the cover sheet in Pan I of this form. Charges for changes in service tiers or equipment that involve more than the simple methods described above shall be at actual cost. To calculate this charge, you may use one of the two altemauves below. Line 30. If you elect to charge an hourly rate for changing service tiers, the rate shall be the HSC. Write the HSC of line 5 in line 30. Line 31. If you choose to develop an average charge for changing service tiers, multiply the HSC by the average time such changes take. Enter the result in line 31. Step G. Calculate the Franchise Area Monthly Equipment and Installation Costs for Adjustment of Regulated Service Rates. Equipment and service installation costs must be removed from charges for regulated service. To be consistent with the calculations of permitted rates, these costs must be presented at the franchise area level on a monthly basis. Line 32. Add maintenance and installation costs for customer equipment from line 3 of Step A to capital costs for customer equipment from Box 3, Schedule C. Line 33. Adjust line 32 to reflect equipment costs of the franchise area, if your accounting records are kept at a different level of organization. For example, if your accounting records cover franchise areas with similar subscriber equipment profiles, you may use a ratio of the number of subscribers in the franchise area to the total number of subscribers: line 33 — line 32 x franchise area subscribers/subscribers represented in line 32. Attach an explanation of the allocation method that you use. Line 34. Divide line 33 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly equipment and installation cost to be entered on Worksheet 3 in Part II of this form, Line 301. Notes: 1. Charge for Additional Connections. Section 76.923(h) of the Commission's rules states that an operator shall recover the costs of installation of and equipment used with additional connections through the related equipment and installation charges. Step B calculates installation charges for additional connections, and Steps C, D, and E are used to calculate customer equipment charges, regardless of whether the equipment is used in conjunction with primary or additional connections. An operator may also recover additional programming costs imposed by a program supplier for service to additional outlets, as well as the costs of any necessary ;ignal boosters located on a customer's premises that are associated with the additional connection. These may be recovered as a separate monthly charge for the additional connections. The charge for any signal boosters shall be calculated separately using the instructions for Step E for other customer equipment. Attach extra calculations to the Equipment and Installation Forth and cover sheet as necessary.

Schedule A computes the capital costs for equipment necessary for maintenance and installation of cable facilities and cable service. It does not include the annual capital costs of customer premises equipment such as remotes and converter boxes included in Schedule C. (See instructions below.) 2. Column A lists the types of equipment for which capital cost information is required (including equipment owned and equipment held under capital or financing leases), such as vehicles and tools, and including other equipment used for installation and maintenance, which you may specify on the form. Maintenance facility refers to buildings, tools, and equipment necessary for the repair and maintenance of vehicles and equipment. 3. Column 8 requires you to state the gross book value for the categories listed in Column A as of the date you last closed your books. 4. Column C requires you to give the accumulated depreciation and amortization for each category of equipment on the gross book values listed in Column B as of the date used for Column 8 entries 5. Column D requires you to give the deferred tax balance associated with the plant categories listed in Column A. (Generally, such amounts result from the use of faster depreciation write-offs for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.) Entitles that do not pay income taxes (e.2.. sole -proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not Include an amount in this column. 6. Column E requires you to give the net book values for each category in Column A (Column B minus the sum of Columns C and D). 7. Column F allows for a reasonable return to be calculated by multiplying the Investment listed in Column E by a reasonable rate of return. The RReQort and 9rder states that the Commission will consider up to 11.25% as a not unreasonable rate of return. If you choose a rate of return that is higher than 11.25%, you must attach a justification for your choice. 8. Column G allows for federal and state income taxes payable by the cable entity. To allow for a reasonable after-tax rate of return, it may be based on the grossed -up federal and state tax rates in effect. (The grossed -up rate is calculated as: Tax Rate / (1 - Tax Rate)). Entities that do not pay income taxes (a,g„ sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column. 9. Column H requires you to list the annual depreciation expense for each category of equipment in Column A. 10. Column I requires you to add Columns F, G, and H. 1 1. Add the totals in Column I and enter in Box 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE B ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION OF CABLE FACILITIES AND SERVICE, EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION Schedule B includes all annual operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization on capital and financing leases, for installation and maintenance of facilities and service for the 12 months ending as of the date you last closed your books. This schedule requires you to list your operating expenses, including salary and benefits, supplies, utilities, other taxes and any other applicable expenses. Other expenses included must be identified. The total is the sum of all operating expenses for installation and maintenance and should be entered in Box 2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE C CAPITAL COSTS OF CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT 1 Schedule C includes the purchase cost of leased customer equipment, including acquisition price and incidental costs such as sales tax, financing and storage up to the time it is provided to the subscriber. 2 In Column A list all customer equipment for which there is a separate charge, including different models of remote control units, different types of converter boxes, and other equipment. List separately each type of other equipment for which you plan to develop a separate charge. 3 In Column 8 give the gross book value of the listed equipment. The gross book value includes the cost of spare customer equipment that the operator keeps on hand for new customers or as replacement for broken equipment. 4 List the accumulated depreciation and amortization in Column C for each equipment category in Column A. S Column D requires you to give the deferred tax balance associated with the plant categories listed in Column A. (Generally, such amounts result from the use of faster depreciation write-offs for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.) Entities that do not pay income taxes (e.g., sole proprietorships partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column. FCC 393 (Pate 33) A r,,"Z 1913 olumn E requires you to give the net book values for each category in Column A (Column B minus the sum of Columns C plus D). .. Column F multiplies a reasonable rate of return by the investment listed in Column E. The Renort and Order states that the Commission will consider up to 1 1.25% as a not unreasonable rate of return. If you choose a rate of return that is higher than 11.25%, you must attach a justification for your choice. 8. Column G allows for federal and state income taxes payable by the cable entity. To allow for a reasonable after-tax rate of return, it may be based on the grossed -up federal and state tax rates in effect. (The grossed -up rate is calculated as: Tax Rate / (1 - Tax Rate)). Entities that do not pay income taxes (es., sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column. 9. Column H requires you to Inst the annual depreciation expense for each category of equipment in Column A. 10. Column I requires you to give the total number of units in service for leased remotes and converter boxes. For other leased equipment, list the total number of units in service or the total number of subscribers using this equipment, whichever is appropriate. 1 1. Column J requires you to add Columns F, G, and H. 12. Add the totals in Column J and enter in Box 3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE D Schedule D is used only if you choose to charge averaged rates for service installations. If you choose this option, you must calculate an averaged rate for several types of installations. Schedule D calculates four separate average charges that the Commission requires for an operator choosing this option. These average charges are for. (a) installations of unwired homes; (b) installations of already wired homes; (c) installations of additional connections at the time of initial installation; and (d) installations of additional connections after initial service installation. An operator may calculate, using the same methodology, average charges for other specific types of installations such as those requiring extra long drops to the home. Add additional lines as needed. calculate an average installation charge, multiply the Hourly Service Charge (HSC) by the average number of hours it takes for that type of installation. Attach xplanation or study describing how you arrived at the average time for that type of installation. /1 r 3931r.xc 1+1 SCHEDULE D AVERAGE INSTALLATION CHARGES Cable Oper Name: Tele-Communications, Inc.
