                  NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE

                                                     Released: April 25, 2006

   By the Resident Agent, San Juan Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

   I. INTRODUCTION

    1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find
       that New Life Broadcasting, Inc. ("New Life"), licensee of FM  radio
       station WBRQ, in Cidra, Puerto Rico, apparently willfully violated
       Section 73.3526  of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") by failing to
       maintain a complete public inspection file. We conclude, pursuant to
       Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"),
       that New Life  is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of
       four  thousand dollars ($4,000).

   II. BACKGROUND

    2. On February 8, 2006,  agents from the Commission's San Juan Office of
       the Enforcement Bureau conducted an inspection of station WBRQ-FM
       located in Caguas, Puerto Rico.   The agents observed that the
       station's public file did not contain any radio issues/programs lists
       for the period of January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2005. This was
       brought to the attention of the station's general manager at the time
       of inspection however; he was unable to produce the documents.
       Subsequently on February 12, 2006, in a fax message sent to the San
       Juan office by New Life's President, the quarterly report for the
       period of October 1 through December 31, 2005 was provided. No other
       reports for the period in question were provided.

   III. DISCUSSION

    3. Section 503(b) of the Act provides that any person who willfully or
       repeatedly fails to comply substantially with the terms and conditions
       of any license, or willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with any of
       the provisions of the Act or of any rule, regulation or order issued
       by the Commission thereunder, shall be liable for a forfeiture
       penalty. The term "willful" as used in Section 503(b) has been
       interpreted to mean simply that the acts or omissions are committed
       knowingly. The term "repeated" means the commission or omission of
       such act more than once or for more than one day.

    4. Section 73.3526(a)(2) of the Rules requires commercial broadcast
       stations to maintain for public inspection, a file containing
       materials listed in that section.  Section 73.3526(e)(12) requires
       licensees to place in the public inspection file, for each calendar
       quarter, a list of the programs that have provided the station's most
       significant treatment of community issues during the preceding three
       month period. Copies of these lists must be maintained in the file
       until final action has been taken on the station's next renewal
       application On February  8, 2005, the station's public file did not
       contain any radio issues/programs lists for the period of January 1,
       2004 through December 31, 2005.

    5. Based on the evidence before us, we find that New Life  apparently
       willfully violated Section 73.3526  of the Rules by failing to
       maintain a complete public inspection file.

    6. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment
       of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines,
       ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the
       base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rules is ten
       thousand dollars ($10,000). Because station WBRQ's public file
       contained a portion of the required items, a downward adjustment of
       the base forfeiture amount for this violation to $4,000 is warranted.
       In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into
       account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the
       Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of
       the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of
       culpability, and history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other
       such matters as justice may require. Applying the Forfeiture Policy
       Statement, Section 1.80, and the statutory factors to the instant
       case, we conclude that New Life is apparently liable for a  $4,000
       forfeiture.
