                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: March 18, 2014

   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 Comcast of Florida/Washington,
       LLC (Comcast), operator of a cable system in Miami Gardens, 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 March 7, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Miami Office
       inspected Comcast's cable system in Miami Gardens (Miami-Dade County),
       Florida, and observed the following violation:

   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." At the time of the
   inspection, the agent observed signal leakage on the frequency 133.2625
   MHz at 3840-3850 NW 192^nd St., Miami Gardens, FL 33055 (25DEG 56' 53.26"
   North Latitude, 080DEG 15' 52.46" West Longitude), and measured an
   emission of 398 microvolts per meter, which exceeds the field strength
   allowed by the Rules.

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

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