   Bureau:

    1. This is a  Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section

       AM Broadcast station KWAI  in Honolulu, Hawaii.  This Notice may be

    2. On January 3, 2011 and February 1, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement

       in Honolulu, Hawaii, and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 11.61(a)(1)(i): "Required Monthly Tests of the EAS header
   codes, Attention Signal, Test Script and EOM code...must be transmitted
   within 60 minutes of receipt by EAS Participants in an EAS Local Area or
   State."

   The agent found that KWAI did not retransmit the required monthly tests
   issued by Hawaii State Civil Defense on both January 3, 2011 and February
   1, 2011. 

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System

       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees. Pursuant to Section 403 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.89 of the
       Commission's Rules, we seek additional information concerning the

       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's Rules, we direct
       Radio Hawaii, Inc., to support its response to this Notice with an
       affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
