                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 5, 2013

   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 December 7, 2012,  in response to a complaint of interference, an
       agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver District Office inspected
       Comcast's cable system located 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 leaks in excess
        of 15 mV/m at 30 meters  on the frequency of 781.25 MHz at the
        following locations

   1) Near 5445 Hoyt Dr 95 mV/m

   2) Near 9438 W 56th Place 43 mV/m

   3) Near 9807 W 57th Place 169 mV/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 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) broadband 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.

       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.^

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