                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released:  March  5, 2010

   By the District Director, Los Angeles Office, Western Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Independent Taxi Owners
       Association, licensee of radio station WQKD673, Los Angeles,
       California.

    2. On, February 11, 2010, an agent from the Enforcement Bureau's Los
       Angeles Office investigated a complaint of interference on the
       frequency of 461.925 MHz in the Los Angeles, California, area and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.403(e): "Licensees shall take reasonable precautions
        to avoid causing harmful interference. This includes monitoring the
        transmitting frequency for communications in progress and such other
        measures as may be necessary to minimize the potential for causing
        interference." At the time of the investigation, the station WQKD673
        transmitter at 2050 Cyprian Drive, Los Angeles, was transmitting a
        digitally modulated continuous signal, on 461.925 MHz, a frequency
        shared with other licensees in the Los Angeles area. These
        transmissions were without breaks for several hours, creating the
        potential for interference and preventing the effective sharing of
        the frequency with other licensed users.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.425(a): "Except as provided for in paragraphs (d) and
        (e) of this section, each station or system shall be identified by
        the transmission of the assigned call sign during each transmission
        or exchange of transmissions, or once each 15 minutes (30 minutes in
        the Public Safety Pool) during periods of continuous operation." At
        the time of the investigation, the WQKD673 repeater signal was
        monitored for several hours and at no time was a call sign
        identification heard.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Independent Taxi
       Owners Association must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       must fully explain each violation, must contain a statement of the
       specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and should include a time line for completion of pending
       corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself and
       signed by Independent Taxi Owners Association. All replies and
       documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
       the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to the following
       address:

   Federal Communications Commission

   Los Angeles Office

   18000 Studebaker Rd., Suite 660

   Cerritos, CA 90703

    4. This Notice shall be sent to Independent Taxi Owners Association, at
       its address of record.

    5. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that we advise you that the
       Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
