                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: May 9, 2013

   By the District Director, Los Angeles 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 Pacific Bell Telephone Company,
       owner of an antenna structure in San Pedro, 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 violation(s) noted herein.^

    2. April 2, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles Office
       inspected the antenna structure located at approximately 33'0 44' 23"
       North Latitude, 118'0 17' 11" West Longitude, 425 West 5th Street, San
       Pedro, California, and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.7: "A notification to the Federal Aviation
        Administration is required, except as set forth in S 17.14, for any
        of the following construction or alteration: (a) Any construction or
        alteration of more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) height above ground
        level at its site." On April 2, 2013, the Los Angeles agent measured
        the referenced antenna structure at approximately 210 feet in height
        above ground level and determined that no notification to the Federal
        Aviation Administration indicating that height had been made.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 17.4(a): "Effective July 1, 1996, the owner of any
        proposed or existing antenna structure that requires notice of
        proposed construction to the Federal Aviation Administration must
        register the structure with the Commission." On April 2, 2013, the
        Los Angeles agent measured the height of the referenced antenna
        structure at approximately 210 feet in height above ground level,
        determined that the structure required notification to the Federal
        Aviation Administration, and determined that it had not been
        registered with the FCC.

    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, Pacific Bell Telephone Company must submit a written

       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.^
