   Released: October 16, 2009

   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 Sergio & Karla Enterprise, Inc.,
       licensee of ship radio station onboard vessel Al Carajo, docked in
       Huntington Beach, California.

    2. On August 30, 2009, in response to a complaint from the United States
       Coast Guard, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles Office
       determined that a continuous signal on the frequency 156.800 MHz (VHF
       marine channel 16) was emanating from the vessel Al Carajo, Vessel ID
       914593, Hull Number OSH62093E707, and observed the following
       violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 80.89(a): "Stations must not engage in superfluous radio
        communications." There appeared to be no authorized purpose for the
        transmission. Apparently, the radio was transmitting without the
        microphone button being depressed.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Sergio & Karla Enterprise,
       Inc., must submit a written statement concerning this matter within 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 a principal or officer of
       Sergio & Karla Enterprise, Inc. 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:

       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
