Background ă  2. On January 19, 1996, the Commission granted Mr. Skrocki's application to construct Station   zKNLP639, which expired on January 19, 1997. The information before us indicates that Mr. Skrocki   /commenced service from the new station on January 15, 1997. Mr. Skrocki filed the FCC Form 489 notifying the Commission of commencement of service on September 3, 1997.  13. On May 10, 1996, the Commission granted Mr. Skrocki's application to construct Station  SY$-  KNLR748, which expired on May 10, 1997. The information before us indicates that Mr. Skrocki   commenced service from the new station on March 26, 1997. Mr. Skrocki filed the FCC Form 489 notifying the Commission of commencement of service on December 18, 1997.  S'-l à  S(-"(,))ZZ0*"Ԍ S-=III. Discussion ă  S- 4. Section 22.142(b) of the Commission's Rules provides in pertinent part, "Notification  S-  Requirement. Licensees must notify the FCC (FCC Form 489) of commencement of service to   subscribers, no later than fifteen days after service begins." 47 C.F.R.  22.142(b) (emphasis in the   original). The Commission's policy of imposing monetary forfeitures for violation of Section 22.142(b)  S-  of the Commission's Rules is well established. See, e.g., Network Services, LLC, 13 FCC Rcd. 6688 (WTB 1998).  !5. Mr. Skrocki states that he inadvertently failed to file the two FCC Forms 489 within 15 days   of commencement of service. He further states that he filed the appropriate FCC Forms 489 immediately   upon realizing the error. We note that Mr. Skrocki voluntarily brought this matter to the Bureau's   attention. The purpose of the FCC Form 489 is to notify the Commission that construction has been   completed and the frequency is in use, so that the Commission will not assign that frequency to anyone  S -else. Mr. Skrocki's apparent violations continued until he filed the FCC Forms 489.  S - ]6. The guidelines contained in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, 12 FCC Rcd 17087,   which became effective on October 14, 1997, specify a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file   \required forms or information. The guidelines, however, permit the Commission "to issue a higher or   lower forfeiture than provided in the guidelines." The Commission determined, in cases decided before  S-  jthe recent adoption of the Forfeiture Policy Statement, that a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 is justified  S-  when a licensee has failed to timely file Form 489. See Mulzer Enterprises, Inc., 12 FCC Rcd 10269  S-  (WTB 1997); and Mountaineer Paging, 12 FCC Rcd 4727 (WTB 1997). We find, therefore, that a $2,000   base amount for each violation is appropriate here, totalling $4,000. However, in view of Mr. Skrocki's   voluntary disclosure of his violations to the Commission, we reduce the amount of proposed forfeiture to $2,000.  S-5 IV. Conclusion and Ordering Clause l  lU7. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications act of 1934, as amended,   47 U.S.C.  503(b) and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.80, Gerald Skrocki is   hereby NOTIFIED of his APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of two thousand dollars for repeatedly violating Section 22.142(b) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  22.142(b).  ]8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.   [ 1.80, that within thirty days of the release of this Notice, Mr. Skrocki SHALL PAY the full amount of   the proposed forfeiture or SHALL FILE a written statement seeking reduction or cancellation of the   proposed forfeiture. Payment of the forfeiture may be made by credit card through the Commission's   Billings and Collections Branch at (202) 4181995 or by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable   to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Federal Communications Commission,   !P.O.
