     pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules,1 to Pine 
     Hills Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of radio station WRIL.

  2.      On December  17, 2003,  an  agent of  the  Commission's 
     Detroit Office  inspected radio  station WRIL,  licensed  to

     violation(s):

  2.a.      47 C.F.R. § 11.15: ``The EAS Operating  Handbook 
            states in summary  form the actions to be  taken

            the  Handbook must  be  located at  normal  duty 
            positions  or EAS  equipment locations  when  an 
            operator  is  required to  be  on  duty  and  be 
            immediately available  to staff responsible  for 
            authenticating    messages    and     initiating 
            actions.''  At  the time of  inspection, no  EAS 
            Operating Handbook was available.

  2.b.      47 C.F.R.  § 11.52(d): ``Broadcast stations  ... 
            must monitor  two EAS  sources.  The  monitoring 
            assignments of  each broadcast  station ...  are 
            specified  in  the   State  EAS  Plan  and   FCC 
            Mapbook.  They are also developed in  accordance 
            with  FCC  monitoring  priorities...''   At  the 
            time  of inspection,  only  one EAS  source  was 
            being  monitored and  it  was an  incorrect  EAS 
            source.

  2.c.      47 C.F.R.  § 11.61(a)(2)(i)(A):  ``Tests of  EAS

            once   each  week   and  at   random  days   and 
            times...''  During  the period from November  2, 
            2003 to  December 13,  2003, no  EAS tests  were

            entry  of  each  test  and  activation  of   the 
            Emergency  Alert System  (EAS)...''  During  the 
            period  from November  2, 2003  to December  13, 
            2003, no  entries of EAS  tests were entered  in 
            the station log.

  2.e.      47    C.F.R.     §    73.1870(c)(3):     ``Chief 
            Operators...The  chief operator  is  responsible 
            for   completion   of   the   following   duties

            duties  are  delegated  to  other  persons,  the

            correct manner...Review  of the station  records 
            at  least  once   each  week  to  determine   if

            correctly...Upon completion  of the review,  the 
            chief  operator or  his designee  must date  and 
            sign  the log,  initiate any  corrective  action 
            which may be  necessary, and advise the  station 
            licensee    of   any    condition    which    is 
            repetitive...''    During   the   period    from 
            November  2, 2003  to December  13, 2003,  there 
            was no review  of the station logs by the  chief
