                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: July 2, 2013

   By the Resident Agent, Miami Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Access Media 3, Inc.,^ operator
       of a non-cable multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD)
       system serving the Cresthaven-Ashley Master Association (Cresthaven
       Ashley) Community in West Palm Beach, Florida. 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. On April 23 and May 23, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Miami
       Office inspected the non-cable MVPD system serving the Cresthaven
       Ashley Community in West Palm Beach, Florida, and observed the
       following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. 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 S 76.609(h)
        and shall be limited as follows: Over 54 MHz up to and including 216
        MHz - 20 microvolts per meter, measured at 3 meters." On May 23,
        2013, agents observed signal leakage on the frequency 133.2625 at
        geographic coordinates of 26DEG 38' 04" North Latitude, 080DEG 07'
        12" West Longitude, and measured an emission of 699 microvolts per
        meter, which exceeds the field strength allowed on those frequencies
        by the Rules.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 76.1804: "An MVPD shall notify the Commission before
        transmitting any carrier or other signal component with an average
        power level across a 25 kHz bandwidth in any 160 microsecond time
        period equal to or greater than 10^-4 watts at any point in the cable
        distribution system on any frequency or frequencies in the
        aeronautical radio frequency bands (108-137 and 225-400 MHz). The
        notification shall be made on FCC Form 321." On April 23 and May 23,
        2013, Access Media 3, Inc. was operating on aeronautical frequencies,
        but had not notified the Commission as required.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as

       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.^
