                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released:  August 1, 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  SC Communications Inc.,
       licensee of radio station KKI741 in Bakersfield, 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 July 17, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office  inspected  radio station WQIL989 located at 764 E Street,
       Wasco, California, and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 90.427(b): "Except for frequencies used in accordance
        with S 90.417, no person shall program into a transmitter frequencies
        for which the licensee using the transmitter is not authorized." The
        agents observed station WQIL989 transmitting on 158.745 MHz, a
        frequency not authorized under the WQIL989 license. The licensee of
        WQIL989 informed the agents that SC Communications Inc. had
        programmed the frequency into the WQIL989 transmitter. In telephone
        conversations on July 19 and July 23, 2013, a SC Communications Inc.
        representative acknowledged to a Los Angeles agent that SC
        Communications Inc. had programmed 158.745 MHz into the station
        WQIL989 transmitter.

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