                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September 29, 2011

   By the District Director, San Francisco 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 Falcon Cable Systems Company II LP
       ("Falcon"), operator of a cable system in Aromas, California.

    2. On July 26, 2011, in response to a complaint that a signal was
       interfering with the California Department of Forestry and Fire
       Protection (CALFIRE) land mobile units and fire station operating on
       151.2500 MHz in Aromas, California, an agent from the Enforcement
       Bureau's San Francisco Office located the interfering signal on
       151.2500 MHz to sporadic cable signal leakage from Falcon's cable
       system in the area between the 400 and 600 blocks of Carpenteria Road
       in Aromas, California. During the course of the investigation, the
       agent inspected Falcon's cable system located in Aromas, California
       and observed the following violations:

   a. 47 C.F.R. S: 76.613: "(a) Harmful interference is any emission,
   radiation or induction which endangers the functioning of a
   radionavigation service or of other safety services or seriously degrades,
   obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating
   in accordance with this chapter. (b) [A multi-channel video programming
   distributor] that causes harmful interference shall promptly take
   appropriate measures to eliminate the harmful interference." At the time
   of inspection, the agent observed signal leakage in close proximity to
   CALFIRE's fire station on Carpenteria Road, which was capable of causing
   harmful interference to the reception of fire communications on 151.2500
   MHz.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S: 76.605(a)(12): "As an exception to the general provision
   requiring measurements to be made at subscriber terminals, and without
   regard to the type of signals carried by the cable television system,
   signal leakage from a cable television system shall be measured in
   accordance with the procedures outlined in 76.609(h) and shall be limited
   as follows: Over 54 MHz up to and including 216 MHz - 20 micro-volts per
   meter, measured at 3 meters." At the time of the inspection, the agent
   measured signal leakage in excess of 20 mV/m on the frequency of 133.2625
   MHz at:

   1) 512 Carpenteria Rd (corner Rea Ave.) 235 uV/m

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Falcon 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 Falcon. All
       replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should be
