    2. On July 12, 2006, agents of the Commission's Detroit Office inspected

       Ohio and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.15(a): "...A copy of the Handbook must be located at
        normal duty positions or EAS equipment locations when an operator is
        required to be on duty and be immediately available to staff
        responsible for authenticating messages and initiating actions." At
        the time of the inspection, the EAS handbook was not available.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1820(a)(1)(iii): "An entry of each test and activation
        of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) pursuant to the requirement of
        part 11 of this chapter and the EAS Operating Handbook. Stations may
        keep EAS data in a special EAS log which shall be maintained at a
        convenient location. However, this log is considered a part of the
        station log." At the time of the inspection, the agent observed that
        the entries in the EAS logs did not indicate the date and time of
        each test and whether the test was sent or received.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870(b)(3): "...The designation of the chief operator
        must be in writing with a copy of the designation posted with the
        station license". At the time of the inspection, there was no written
        designation of the chief operator posted at the station.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870(c)(3): The chief operator shall "[r]eview of the
        station records at least once each week to determine if required
        entries are being made correctly. Additionally, verification must be
        made that the station has been operated as required by the rules or
        the station authorization. Upon completion of the review, the chief
        operator or his designee must date and sign the log..." The agent
        observed that the logs were not being signed and dated by the chief
        operator.
