   Released: November 13, 2012

   By the District Director, Dallas 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 (Rules), to Grande Communications
       ClearSource, Inc., operator of a cable system in Odessa, Texas.
       Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this NOV does
       not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violation(s) noted herein.

    2. On August 2 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas Office
       inspected the cable system located at Odessa, Texas, and observed the
       following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants are responsible for ensuring
        that EAS Encoders, EAS Decoders and Attention Signal generating and
        receiving equipment used as part of the EAS are installed so that the
        monitoring and transmitting functions are available during the times
        the stations and systems are in operation."  At the time of the
        inspection, the EAS equipment was not fully operational. During a
        demonstration, the EAS equipment would not transmit the required
        audio and video messages from the encoder to the cable channels.

        operators - The operator of every cable television system having 5000
        or more subscribers shall maintain for public inspections a file
        containing a copy of all records which are required to be kept by

        76.1702 (EEO records available for public inspection), 76.1703
        (commercial records for children's programming); 76.1704 (proof of
        performance) and 76.1706 (signal leakage logs and repair records)."
        At the time of the inspection, Grande Communications ClearSource,
        Inc. did not have copies of the following records: 76.1702 (Annual
