NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: April 20,
2004
By the Resident Agent, Portland Office, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued
pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules,1 to AAT
Communications Corporation.
2. On April 11, 2004, the FCC Portland Resident Agent
Office received a copy of a Notice to Airmen (``NOTAM'')
referred from the Federal Aviation Administration (``FAA'')
in Boise, Idaho. The investigation from this Office
revealed that since February 13, 2004, the FAA has issued
five consecutive NOTAMs (BOI D 02/060, BOI D 02/123, BOI D
03/046, BOI D 03/094, and BOI D 04/047) to a registered
antenna structure located in Emmett, Idaho due to problems
with the antenna structure's lighting equipment. FCC records
show that the referenced antenna structure was registered to
AAT Communications Corporation, under Antenna Structure
Registration Number 1201911. The geographic coordinates for
this antenna site are 43º51'42'' north latitude and
116º31'48'' west longitude.
2.a. 47 C.F.R. § 17.56(a): ``Replacing or repairing
of lights, automatic indicators or automatic
control alarm systems shall be accomplished as
soon as practicable.''
Because of hazards to air navigation due to the
proximity of the antenna structure to the
Emmett Municipal Airport, which is
approximately 4,400 feet away, AAT
Communications Corporation must diligently
investigate the ongoing problem and resolve the
light failure.
3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended,2 and Section 1.89 of the Commission's
Rules, AAT Communications Corporation, must submit a written
statement concerning this matter within 20 days of release
of this Notice. The response must fully explain the
violation, must contain a statement of the specific action
taken to correct the violation and preclude recurrence, and
should include a time line for completion of pending
corrective action. The response must be complete in itself
and signed by a principal or officer of the licensee. 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 the following address:

4. This Notice shall be sent to AAT Communications
Corporation, 517 Route One South, Suite 5000, Iselin, NJ
08830.
5. The Privacy Act of 19743 requires that we advise you
that the Commission will use all relevant material
information before it, including any information disclosed
in your reply, to determine what, if any, enforcement action
is required to ensure compliance. Any false statement made
knowingly and willfully in reply to this Notice is
punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the
U.S. Code.4
