                                             Released:  October 
13, 2004 

By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Enforcement 
Bureau:

  1.      This  is  a  Notice  of  Violation  ("Notice")   issued 
     pursuant to  Section 1.89  of  the Commission's  Rules,1  to 
     Tower Power, Inc., the owner of antenna structure 1036481 in 
     Washington, Pennsylvania.  

  2.      On September 16,  2004 at  2:50 p.m., an  agent of  the 
     Commission's Philadelphia Office inspected antenna structure 
     1036481 and observed the following violation: 

     47 C.F.R. § 17.23:  ``Unless otherwise specified by the 
     Commission, each new or altered antenna structure to be 
     registered on or after January 1, 1996, must conform to 
     the FAA's  painting  and lighting  recommendations  set 
     forth on  the  structure's FAA  determination  of  ``no 
     hazard,'' as referenced in  the following FAA  Advisory 
     Circulars: AC  70/7460-1J,  ``Obstruction  Marking  and 
     Lighting,'' effective January 1, 1996, and AC 150/5345-
     43E,   ``Specifications   for   Obstruction    Lighting 
     Equipment,'' dated  October  19,  1995...The  documents 
     contain FAA recommendations  for painting and  lighting 
     structures  which  pose  a  potential  hazard  to   air 
     navigation.    For   purposes   of   this   part,   the 
     specifications, standards, and general requirements  in 
     these  documents   are  mandatory...''    The   antenna 
     structure  had  a  dual   lighting  system  which   was 
     comprised of  white  obstruction lighting  for  daytime 
     illumination and red obstruction lighting for nighttime 
     illumination.   However,  according   to  the   Antenna 
     Structure   Registration    1036481   and    the    FAA 
     determination of ``No Hazard'' (FAA Study  96-AEA-0433-
     OE), the antenna structure must be painted for  daytime 
     marking and display a  red obstruction lighting  system 
     between sunset and sunrise.    



  3.      Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 
     1934, as  amended,2 and  Section  1.89 of  the  Commission's 
     Rules, Tower Power,  Inc., must submit  a written  statement 
     concerning this matter  within 20  days of  release of  this 
     Notice.  The  response must  fully explain  each  violation, 
     must contain a  statement of the  specific actions taken  to 
     correct each violation and  preclude recurrence, and  should 
     include a  time line  for completion  of pending  corrective 
     actions.  The response must be complete in itself and signed 
     by a principal or officer  of the tower owner with  personal 
     knowledge of the matter.  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:
