     WTC4765.

  2.      On June 23, 2004,  agents of the Commission's  Honolulu

       a ship or a survival craft station as a locating  aid 
       for  survival  purposes.   The  EPIRB  on  board  the 
       vessel  LADY   ALICE  was  apparently  activated   by 
       improper  storage or  handling while  the vessel  was 
       undergoing maintenance.

     concerning this matter  within 20  days of  release of  this 
     Notice.  The  response must  fully explain  each  violation,

     correct each violation and  preclude recurrence, and  should 
     include a  time line  for completion  of pending  corrective 
     action(s).  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:
