  2.      On March  22, 2004,  this office  received  information 
     reporting that the tower lights were out on this  structure.  
     On March 23,  2004, an agent  from the Commission's  Detroit 
     Office inspected this structure  and observed the  following 
     violation(s):

          a.   47 C.F.R.  § 17.48:   ``The owner  of any  antenna 
structure which is registered with           the  Commission  and

part: (a) Shall     report immediately by telephone or  telegraph 
to the nearest Flight Service Station or office of the

extinguishment or improper    functioning  of   any  top   steady 
burning light or  any flashing obstruction  light, regardless  of 
its  position on the antenna  structure, not corrected within  30
