5. NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: June 28,
2005
By the District Director, Chicago Office, Enforcement Bureau:
This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to
Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules1 to the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
On April 13, 2005, an agent of the Commission's Chicago
Office inspected the antenna structure, ASR# 1046529, located at
Waterloo, Illinois, 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 determination of
``no hazard,'' as referenced in the. . .FAA Advisory
Circulars.'' The FCC's Antenna Structure
Registration (``ASR'') database indicates that the
antenna structure listed above is required to have
red obstruction lighting. The antenna structure,
however, is equipped with white lighting and
therefore is in violation of 47 C.F.R. § 17.23. In
order to come into compliance with the Commission's
rules, the antenna structure registrant must: (1)
obtain a new FAA ``no hazard'' determination
indicating that a white lighting system is permitted
and then submit a modified antenna structure
registration to reflect the new ``no hazard''
determination or (2) submit a modified registration
if a new FAA ``no hazard' determination already has
been obtained.
Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended,2 and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Union
Pacific Railroad Company, must submit a written statement
concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this
Notice. The response must fully explain each violation, must
contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to 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 Union Pacific Railroad Company 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:
Federal Communications Commission
Chicago Office
1550 Northwest Highway, Room 306
Park Ridge, IL 60068
This Notice shall be sent to the Union Pacific Railroad
Company at its address of record.
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
