   Released: September  28, 2012

   By the District Director, San Diego 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  Cable One Inc. (Cable One), operator of
       a cable system  in Roswell, New Mexico.   Pursuant to Section 1.89(a)
       of the Commission's Rules, issuance of the NOV does not preclude the
       Enforcement Bureau from issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for
       Forfeiture for the violation noted herein.

    2. On September 18, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego

        did not have any records for receiving tests formatted with the
        Common Alerting Protocol in the EAS logs from July 22 through
        September 15, 2012. In addition, there were no records to indicate
        why the July required monthly test (RMT) had not been received or
        sent and why the required weekly tests were not received from
        KBCQ/KSFX from August 5 - September 1, 2012.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that 
       cable operators play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees. 

    4. Pursuant to Section  403  of the Communications Act of 1934, as

       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.
