                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released:  December 11,  2012

   By the District Director, Denver Office, Western Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules), to Comcast of Colorado IX, LLC
       (Comcast), operator of a cable system  in Arvada, Colorado.  Pursuant
       to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does not
       preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violations noted herein.

    2. On October 30, 2012,  in response to a complaint of interference, an
       agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver District Office inspected 
       Comcast's cable system  located near  5855 W. 56th Avenue,
       specifically utility pole #5861, in Arvada, Colorado, and observed the
       following violations:

     a. 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: Less than and including 54 MHz, and over
        216 MHz - 15 micro-volts per meter measured at 30 meters." At the
        time of the investigation, the agent measured signal leakage in
        excess of 15 mV/m on the frequency of 781.25 MHz. The actual field
        strength measurement was calculated as 53 mV/m at 30 meters.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 76.613: "(a) Harmful interference is any emission,
        radiation or induction which ... 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 investigation, the agent observed signal leakage in the
        700 MHz band. The signal was characterized as a continuous,
        un-modulated carrier operating at 781.25 MHz that was causing harmful
        interference to Verizon's 700 MHz LTE (4G) operations.

    3. Pursuant to Section  403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information
       concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken.  Therefore,
       Comcast 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 Rules, we direct Comcast to
       support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
       Comcast with personal knowledge of the representations provided in
       Comcast'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 regulatee'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.
