NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: October 29, 2010
By the District Director, Denver Office, Western Region, Enforcement
Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Brann Molstad ("Molstad"),
registrant of antenna structure # 1251781 in Grand Forks, North
Dakota.
2. On September 15, 2010, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
Office inspected antenna structure # 1251781 located in Grand Forks,
North Dakota, and observed the following violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.4(g): "The Antenna Structure Registration Number must
be displayed in a conspicuous place so that it is readily visible
near the base of the antenna structure." During the inspection, the
agent observed that there was no antenna structure registration
number posted at or near the base of the antenna structure.
b. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.57: "The owner of an antenna structure for which an
Antenna Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify
the Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction (FCC
Form 854-R) and/or dismantlement (FCC Form 854)." Based on the
agents' review of the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration ("ASR")
records which reflect a status of "Granted," Molstad failed to notify
the Commission that the antenna structure, ASR #1251781, had been
constructed.
3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Molstad 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 Molstad. 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:

4. This Notice shall be sent to Brann Molstad at his 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
