  1.      This  is  a  Notice  of  Violation  ("Notice")   issued 
     pursuant to  Section 1.89  of  the Commission's  Rules,1  to 
     Comcast Cablevision of Garden  State, LP (``Comcast''),  the 
     operator of a cable system in Pennsauken, New Jersey.  

  2.      On  March  10,  2004,  an  agent  of  the  Commission's 
     Philadelphia Office  inspected  the Emergency  Alert  System 
     (``EAS'') at  Comcast's  head-end in  Audobon,  New  Jersey.  
     This is the principal  head-end that serves the  Pennsauken, 
     New  Jersey   community.    During   the   inspection,   the 
     Philadelphia Office found the following violation: 

            47 C.F.R. § 11.52(d):  ``Broadcast stations  and 
            cable systems  and wireless  cable systems  must 
            monitor   two  EAS   sources.   The   monitoring 
            assignments  of each  broadcast  station,  cable 
            system and  wireless cable system are  specified 
            in the  State EAS  Plan and  FCC Mapbook.   They 
            are developed in accordance with FCC  monitoring 
            priorities.''  Comcast was monitoring WPST  97.5 
            MHz,  WKDN 106.9  MHz and  the National  Weather 
            Service for  EAS activations.  However, the  New 
            Jersey  Emergency Alert  System  Plan  specifies 
            that  a  cable system  serving  Pennsauken,  New 
            Jersey must  monitor the  following sources  for 
            EAS activations in this priority: 

                 2.a.i.1.     The Local  Primary  1  Station 
                    WKDN 106.9 MHz, and 
                 2.a.i.2.     Either WABC  770  kHz  in  New 
                    York City  or  one  of  the  New  Jersey
