                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: JULY 2, 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  United Independent Taxi
       Drivers Inc., licensee of radio station KIL251 in Los Angeles,
       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. On June 5, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office monitored  radio station KIL251 located at 2050 Cyprean Drive,
       Los Angeles, California and observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 90.403(c): "Except for stations that have been granted
        exclusive channels under this part and that are classified as
        commercial mobile radio service providers pursuant to Part 20 of this
        chapter, each licensee must restrict all transmissions to the minimum
        practical transmission time and must employ an efficient operating
        procedure designed to maximize the utilization of the spectrum." At
        the time of the investigation, the agent observed that KIL251 was
        transmitting on 452.50 MHz nearly continuously.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 90.403(e): "Licensees shall take reasonable precautions
        to avoid causing harmful interference. This includes monitoring the
        transmitting frequency for communications in progress and such other
        measures as may be necessary to minimize the potential for causing
        interference." At the time

   of the investigation, the agent monitored KIL251 and observed a digitally
   modulated continuous signal on 452.50 MHz, a frequency shared with other
   licensees in the Los Angeles area. The agent observed no evidence of
   monitoring the transmitting frequency for communications in process or
   other measures to avoid interference by KIL251.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 90.425(a): "Stations licensed under this part shall
        transmit identification in accordance with the following provisions:
        (a) Identification procedure. Except as provided for in paragraphs
        (d) and (e) of this section, each station or system shall be
        identified by the transmission of the assigned call sign during each
        transmission or exchange of transmissions, or once each 15 minutes
        (30 minutes in the Public Safety Pool) during periods of continuous
        operation. The call sign shall be transmitted by voice in the English
        language or by International Morse Code in accordance with paragraph
        (b) of this section. If the station is employing either analog or
        digital voice scrambling, or non-voice emission, transmission of the
        required identification shall be in the unscrambled mode using A3E,
        F3E or G3E emission, or International Morse, with all encoding
        disabled." At the time of the monitoring, no identification of the
        station was observed.

    3. Pursuant to Section  308(b) 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, United Independent Taxi Drivers Inc.  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 United
       Independent Taxi Drivers Inc.  to support its response to this Notice
       with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and

       accuracy of the information therein,^ and confirming that all of the

       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.^
