Substance of final rule:
The Commission, on July 11, 2019, adopted an order adopting the 2019 Settlement Agreement by and between Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter) and the Department of Public Service Staff (DPS Staff) in full and all parties thereto shall abide by its terms. The Commission’s July 27, 2018 Order Denying Petitions for Rehearing and Reconsideration and Revoking Approval is determined to be no longer in effect and compliance therewith is no longer required. The Approval Order’s conditions remain in effect except to the extent that the Network Expansion Condition is modified by the adoption of the 2019 Settlement Agreement in this Order. The Commission’s June 14, 2018 Order Denying Charter Communications, Inc.’s Response to Order to Show Cause and Denying Good Cause Justifications; July 27, 2018 Order Confirming Missed June 2018 Compliance Obligations and Denying Good Cause Justification; and June 14, 2018 Order on Compliance (with regard to the Network Expansion Condition only) are superseded and rendered moot by the 2019 Settlement Agreement. Counsel to the Commission is directed to seek a stay of the Enforcement Proceeding (State of N.Y. Pub. Serv. Comm’n v. Charter Commc’ns, Inc., Index No. 4819–18) in tandem with Charter’s actions to stay its Article 78 Proceeding (Charter Commc’ns, Inc. v. N.Y. Pub. Serv.
