                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: July 17, 2012

   By the District Director, Tampa  Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a  Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's rules, to Verizon Florida LLC dba Verizon
       FIOS (Verizon), operator of a cable system in  Hillsborough County,
       Florida.  This Notice may be combined with a further action, if
       further action is warranted.

    2. On July 19, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's  Tampa Office
       inspected  the public inspection file of the cable system  located at
       2381 E Fowler Avenue, Tampa, Florida  and observed the following
       violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 76.1703 "Cable operators airing children's programming must
   maintain records sufficient to verify compliance with S:76.225 and make
   such records available to the public.  Such records must be maintained for
   a period sufficient to cover the limitations period specified in 47 U.S.C.
   503(b)(6)(B)."  Such records must be placed in the cable system's public
   file no later than the tenth day of the quarter following the quarter in
   which the covered programming aired and must be maintained for a period
   sufficient to cover the limitations period specified in 47 U.S.C.
   503(b)(6)(B) (one year).  See Children's Television Programming,
   Memorandum Opinion and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 5093, para. 23 (1991).

   At the time of inspection, the agent found that Verizon's public
   inspection file was missing the children's programming records for the
   second quarter of 2011.  Such records should have been placed in the
   public inspection file no later than July 11, 2011.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violations and any remedial actions the
       system may have taken.  Therefore, Verizon must submit a written
       statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of
       this Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation,
       including all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must
       contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each
       violation and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line
       for completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must
       be complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by reference to
       other communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's rules, we direct
       Verizon to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Verizon with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in Verizon's response, verifying the truth
       and accuracy of the information therein, and confirming that all of
       the information requested by this Notice which is in the licensee's
       possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To
       knowingly and willfully make any false statement or conceal any
       material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or
       imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

    5. 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:

    6. This Notice shall be sent to Verizon at its address of record.

    7. 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.
