                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: August 17, 2011

   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 Eastern Utah Broadcasting Company,
       licensee of radio station KOAL in Price, Utah. This Notice may be
       combined with a further action, if further action is warranted.

    2. On May 20, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver Office
       inspected radio station KOAL located at Price, Utah, and observed the
       following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause of
        any failure to receive the required tests or activations specified in
        Section 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2). Appropriate entries indicating
        reasons why any tests were not received must be made in the broadcast
        station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840 of this
        chapter for all broadcast streams..." At the time of the inspection,
        there were no entries in KOAL's logs indicating why the required
        monthly tests (RMTs) and the required weekly tests (RWTs) had been
        sporadically missed over the three months prior to the inspection.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.61(a): "EAS Participants shall conduct tests at
        regular intervals, as specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of
        this section. Additional tests may be performed anytime. EAS
        activations and special tests may be performed in lieu of required
        tests as specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section. All tests
        will conform with the procedures in the EAS Operating Handbook." KOAL
        failed to ensure that, over the three months prior to the inspection,
        that RMTs and RWTs of the EAS system were received and transmitted.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       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
       violations and any remedial actions the station may have taken. 
       Therefore, Eastern Utah Broadcasting Company must submit a written
       statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of
       this Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation,
       including all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must
       contain a 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
       Eastern Utah Broadcasting Company to support its response to this
       Notice with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury,
       signed and dated by an authorized officer of Eastern Utah Broadcasting
       Company with personal knowledge of the representations provided in
       Eastern Utah Broadcasting Company response, verifying the truth and
       accuracy of the information therein, and confirming that all of the
       information requested by this Notice which is in the licensee's
       possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To
       knowingly and willfully make any false statement or conceal any
