pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules,1 to Brownwood 
Television Cable Service Inc., owner of the cable system  serving

     2.   On February  19, 2004,  an  agent of  the  Commission's 
Dallas Office  inspected  the  cable  television  system  serving 
Brownwood, Texas, and observed the following violations:

        47   C.F.R.   §   11.35(a):    ``Equipment    operational 
        readiness.   ...cable   systems...are   responsible   for 
        ensuring that EAS  Encoders, EAS  Decoders and  Attention 
        Signal generating and  receiving equipment  used as  part 
        of the  EAS  are installed  so  that the  monitoring  and 
        transmitting functions  are  available during  the  times 
        the   stations    and   systems    are   in    operation.   
        Additionally ...  cable  systems  ...must  determine  the 
        cause of any  failure to  receive the  required tests  or 
        activations  specified   in  §§   11.61(a)(1)  and   (2).  
        Appropriate entries  must  be made  in the  cable  system 
        record as specified  in §§ 76.1700,  76.1708 and  76.1711 
        of this  chapter  ... indicating  reasons why  any  tests 
        were not  received.''  The  EAS encoder  / decoder  would 
        not retain the  current date  and there was  no entry  in 
        the cable  system  record stating  when the  problem  was 
        first  noted. Also,  the  cable  system  record  did  not 
        address absent EAS test receptions.

1934, as amended,2  and Section 1.89  of the Commission's  Rules,
