   the Commission will regulate rates for cable services and associated
   equipment of a cable system not subject to effective competition, as defined
   in  Sec. 76.905, in a franchise area. Such regulation by the Commission will
   continue until the franchising authority has obtained certification or

   petition the Commission to regulate the rates for basic cable service and
   associated equipment of its franchisee when:

   regulation.

   service rates; Provided, however, That the authority must submit with its
   request a statement detailing the nature of the legal infirmity.
