                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

                                                  Released: November 29, 2007

   By the Anchorage Resident Agent Office, Anchorage, Alaska, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Tanana Valley State Fair
       Association,  registered owner of  antenna structure number 1005017,
       located on College Road, Fairbanks, AK.

    2. On September 11, 2007, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Anchorage
       Resident Agent Office performed a nighttime inspection of the tower
       structure identified above. The agent observed the following
       violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.21: "Antenna structures shall be painted and lighted
        when . . . [t]hey exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above
        ground or they require special aeronautical study." The antenna
        structure registration for antenna structure number 1005017 requires
        that the structure comply with FCC paragraphs 1, 3, 12, and 21. FCC
        Paragraph 12 states "[o]n levels at approximately two-thirds and
        one-third of the over-all height of the tower, there shall be
        installed at least two 116- or 125-watt lamps (A21/TS) enclosed in
        aviation red obstruction light globes. Each light shall be mounted so
        as to insure unobstructed visibility of at least one light at each
        level from aircraft at any normal angle of approach." During the
        inspection it was noted that the one-third level lighting was
        extinguished and the two-third level lighting had only one of two
        side markers illuminated.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Tanana Valley State Fair
       Association, 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 Tanana Valley State Fair Association. 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:
