                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

                                                        Released: May 9, 2013

   By the Resident Agent, Anchorage Resident Agent  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  GCI Communications Corp.
       (GCI), registrant of antenna structure #1260174 in Kenai, Alaska.
       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 violation noted herein.^

    2. On April 25, 2012, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Anchorage
       Resident Agent Office inspected antenna structure #  1260174 located
       on  Redoubt Avenue in Kenai, Alaska. On August 2, 2012, and March 22,
       2013, the Anchorage Resident Agent Office issued a Letters of Inquiry
       (LOI) to GCI addressing issues involving the overall height of the
       antenna structure.  On April 9, 2013, the Anchorage Resident Agent
       Office received a reply to the March 22, 2013 LOI from GCI addressing
       the antenna structure's height. Based on the LOI reply, GCI is in
       violation of the following:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S  17.57: "The owner of an antenna structure for which an
        Antenna Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify
        the Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction (FCC
        Form 854-R) and/or dismantlement (FCC Form 854). The owner must also
        immediately notify the Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change
        in structure height or change in ownership information."   The ASR
        information at the time of inspection shows the AGL as 54.8 meters
        for both the AGL with and without appurtenances. The LOI reply states
        the AGL without appurtenances is 54.8 meters and the AGL with
        appurtenances is 55.9 meters. GCI failed to notify the Commission of
        a change in the antenna structure's height.

    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, GCI 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 GCI to support
       its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration under
       penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of GCI
       with personal knowledge of the representations provided in GCI'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 licensee'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.^

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
       the following address:

    7. The Privacy Act of 1974^ requires that we advise you that the
