                     AND NOTICE OF FORFEITURE

    Adopted: November 21, 1996;   Released: December 17, 1996

By the Commission:


      1.The Commission has before it for consideration a Notice of Apparent Liability
("NAL") for forfeiture released April 24, 1996, directed to Tri-Valley Broadcasters, Inc., licensee
of Station KKIQ-FM, Livermore, California.  See Tri-Valley Broadcasters, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 4719
(1996) ("Tri-Valley").  The Commission issued an NAL for $10,000 to Tri-Valley Broadcasters, Inc.
for failing to pursue adequate Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) recruitment efforts, and failing
to maintain sufficient records for meaningful self-assessment, in violation of the Commission's EEO
Rule, 47 C.F.R.  73.2080.

      2.Tri-Valley Broadcasters, Inc. has not responded to the NAL.  Accordingly, we
incorporate herein by reference the licensee's record of inadequate efforts, as set forth in Tri-Valley. 
Based on that record, we conclude that our determination in Tri-Valley was correct that a forfeiture
amount of $10,000 is warranted for the licensee of KKIQ-FM. 

        3.Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), that Tri-Valley Broadcasters, Inc. FORFEIT to the United
States the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for failing to comply with the Commission's EEO
provisions, 47 C.F.R. 73.2080.  Full payment of the forfeiture may be made by mailing to the
Commission a check or similar instrument payable to the Federal Communications Commission
within 30 days of the release date of this Order.  In regard to this forfeiture proceeding, the licensee
may take appropriate action as set forth in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.80,
and Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  504(a), as
summarized in the attachment to this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Forfeiture.
