                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September 10, 2009

   By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Checkpoint Communications Company,
       owner of an unregistered antenna structure located in South
       Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

    2. On October 22, 2008, an agent of the Commission's Philadelphia Office
       observed an antenna structure along Skyline Drive on Bald Eagle
       Mountain in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania (41-12-31 N Latitude
       076-57-27 W Longitude) and found the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 17.4(a): "Effective July 1, 1996, the owner of any proposed
   or existing antenna structure that requires notice of proposed
   construction to the Federal Aviation Administration must register the
   structure with the Commission." While notices of proposed construction
   generally are required only for towers that exceed 200 feet, 47 C.F.R. S:
   17.7(b) specifies circumstances under which notices of proposed
   construction to the FAA are required for towers less than 200 feet that
   are near airports. The agent determined that, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. S:
   17.7(b)(1), the tower required a notification of proposed construction to
   the FAA and therefore required registration with the FCC. At the time of
   the inspection, the agent found that Checkpoint Communications Company
   failed to register its antenna structure with the Commission.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Checkpoint Communications
       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 the tower owner. 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

   Philadelphia Office

   One Oxford Valley Building, Suite 404

   2300 East Lincoln Highway

   Langhorne, Pennsylvania 19047

    4. This Notice shall be sent to Checkpoint Communications Company 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
       punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

   Enforcement Bureau

   47 C.F.R. S: 1.89.

   The antenna structure requires notice of construction to the FAA and
   registration with the FCC because it fails the 100:1 slope criteria with
   respect to Williamsport Regional Airport. The agent used a Commission
   program called TOWAIR, http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/
   AsrSearch/towairSearch.jsp, to determine that Checkpoint of Pennsylvania,
   Inc.'s antenna structure exceeds the 100:1 slope criteria with respect to
   the Williamsport Regional Airport. This determination was based on the
   antenna structure's overall height above ground level of 30.5 meters, site
   elevation of 612 meters and NAD83 coordinates 41-12-31.0 North and
   076-57-27.0 W.

   On December 23, 2008, the Commission issued a Notice of Violation (NOV No.
   V200932400014) to Checkpoint of Pennsylvania, Inc. for failing to register
   the same antenna structure. However, in a response dated January 15, 2009,
   Joseph Miller III, Founder of Checkpoint of Pennsylvania, Inc., stated
   that Checkpoint Communications Company actually owns the antenna
   structure. As of September 9, 2009, the antenna structure is still
   unregistered.
