   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 Comcast of California IX, Inc.
       (Comcast),  operator of a cable system  in Pacifica, California.
       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  9, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's  San
       Francisco  Office  inspected  Comcast's cable system located in
       Pacifica, California  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: 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
   121.2625 MHz at the following location:

   1) 385 Esplanade Ave.      274 uV/m

   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 from the location of 385 Esplanade
   Avenue interfered with operations of licensees in the 700 MHz cellular
   band.  

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information

       (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.

       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
