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 CCO SOCAL I, LLC ("CCO"), operator
of a cable system in King City, California.
2. On August 22, 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 King City, 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 CCO's cable system
in and around King City, California. During the course of the
investigation, the agent inspected CCO's cable system located in King
City, 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 the inspection, the agent observed signal leakage near the intersection
of Enfield Road and Pine Canyon Road, in close proximity to and en route
to CALFIRE's fire station on Pine Canyon Road, which was capable of
causing harmful interference to the reception of fire communications on
151.250 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) 45181 Crown Ave. 58 uV/m
3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, CCO 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 CCO. All replies and
documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
