Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Press Communications, LLC
("Press"), registrant of antenna structure # 1237892.
2. On June 27, 2006, an agent of the Commission's New York Office
inspected antenna structure # 1237892 located at 2355 West Bangs
Avenue (North 2 of 2 towers) in Neptune, New Jersey and observed the
following violation:
47 C.F.R. S 17.23: "...each new or altered antenna structure...must
conform to the FAA's painting and lighting recommendations set forth on
the structure's determination of "no hazard"...." The FCC's ASR database
specifies painting and lighting specifications in accordance with FAA
Circular Number 70/7460-1G, Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 9 for antenna structure #
1237892. Chapter 3 requires painting with alternate bands of aviation
orange and white and Chapter 5 requires red obstruction lighting. The
antenna structure does not conform to the painting specifications, but is
equipped with a high intensity flashing white obstruction lighting system.
In order to come into compliance with the Commission's rules, Press
Communications, LLC must: (1) obtain a new FAA "no hazard" determination
indicating that the current 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.
3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Press, 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 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 Press
Communications, LLC 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

4. This Notice shall be sent to Press at its address of record.
5. The Privacy Act of 1974 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
