           NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE

                                            Released: October 31, 
                                                             2002

By the Enforcement Bureau, Honolulu Resident Agent Office:

                        I.  INTRODUCTION

     1.   In this  Notice of  Apparent Liability  for  Forfeiture 
("NAL"), we find that Trade Center Management, Inc., licensee  of 
AM broadcast  station KHRA  in Honolulu,  Hawaii, has  apparently 
willfully and  repeatedly  violated  Section  73.3526(b)  of  the 
Federal Communications Commission (``FCC'') Rules and Regulations 
(``Rules''),1 by failing to maintain a public inspection file  at 
the station main studio.  We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) 
of the Communications  Act of 1934,  as amended (``Act''),2  that 
Trade  Center  Management,  Inc.,  is  apparently  liable  for  a 
forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

                         II.  BACKGROUND

     2.   On August 2, 2002, agents of the FCC Honolulu  Resident 
Agent Office inspected the KHRA main studio, located at 320  Ward 
Ave.,  Suite  211,  Honolulu,   Hawaii.   There  was  no   public 
inspection file available at the time of inspection.  At the time 
of the inspection, Mr. Ki-Yeoun  Kim, who represented himself  as 
the General  Manager  of  the station,  advised  that  no  public 
inspection file was maintained at the KHRA main studio. 

     3.   On August 12, 2002, a Notice of Violation was issued to 
Trade Center Management Center, Inc., for failure to comply  with 
Section  73.3526(b)  of  the  Rules.   The  Notice  of  Violation 
required a response within fourteen days of the release date.  No 
response has been received to date.
                        III.  DISCUSSION

     4.   Section 503(b) of the Act provides that any person  who 
willfully or repeatedly  fails to comply  substantially with  the 
terms and conditions of any  license, or willfully or  repeatedly 
fails to comply with any of the  provisions of the Act or of  any 
rule, regulation or  order issued by  the Commission  thereunder, 
shall be liable for a  forfeiture penalty.  The term  ``willful'' 
as used in  Section 503(b)  has been interpreted  to mean  simply 
that the acts  or omissions are  committed knowingly.3  The  term 
``repeated'' means the  commission or omission  of such act  more 
than once or for more than one day.4

     5.   Section 73.3526(b)  of  the  Rules  requires  that  the 
public inspection file be  maintained at the  main studio of  the 
station.  Based on  the evidence  before us, we  find that  Trade 
Center  Management,  Inc.,  willfully  and  repeatedly   violated 
Section 73.3526(b)  of  the  Rules by  failing  to  maintain  the 
required public inspection file at the KHRA main studio.

     6.   Pursuant  to   The   Commission's   Forfeiture   Policy 
Statement  and  Amendment  of  Section  1.80  of  the  Rules   to 
Incorporate  the  Forfeiture   Guidelines  (``Forfeiture   Policy 
Statement''),5 the base  forfeiture amount for  violation of  the 
public  file  rules  is   $10,000.  In  assessing  the   monetary 
forfeiture amount, we must also  take into account the  statutory 
factors set  forth  in Section  503(b)(2)(D)  of the  Act,  which 
include the  nature, circumstances,  extent, and  gravity of  the 
violation(s), and with  respect to  the violator,  the degree  of 
culpability, and history of prior  offenses, ability to pay,  and 
other  such  matters  as  justice  may  require.6   Applying  the 
Forfeiture Policy  Statement and  the  statutory factors  to  the 
instant case, a $10,000 forfeiture is warranted.
                       IV.  ORDERING CLAUSES

     7.   Accordingly, IT IS  ORDERED THAT,  pursuant to  Section 
503(b) of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and

Center Management,  Inc.,  is  hereby  NOTIFIED  of  an  APPARENT 
LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of ten thousand  dollars
