NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: November 22, 2011
By the District Director, New York 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 The State of New Jersey, owner of
antenna structure # 1046966 in Harmony Township, New Jersey.
2. On November 3, 2011, an agent of the Commission's New York Office
inspected antenna structure # 1046966 located at 19 Demeter Road
Harmony Township, New Jersey 07882, and observed the following
violation:
47 C.F.R. S: 17.23: "Unless otherwise specified by the Commission, each
new or altered antenna structure to be registered on or after January 1,
1996, must conform to the FAA's painting and lighting recommendations set
forth on the structure's FAA determination of `no hazard'." The FCC's
Antenna Structure Registration ("ASR") database currently indicates that
antenna structure number 1046966 requires 24-hours medium strobes
obstruction lighting in accordance with FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1K,
Chapters 4, 6, and 12. The antenna structure does not conform to these
recommendations, but is equipped with dual lighting with red obstruction
lighting at night and medium intensity white flashing lights during the
day, and therefore is in violation of 47 C.F.R. S: 17.23. In order to come
into compliance with the Commission's rules, The State of New Jersey must:
(1) obtain a new FAA "no hazard" determination indicating that the current
system is permitted and then submit a modified antenna structure
registration to reflect the new "no hazard" determination , (2) submit a
modified registration if a new FAA "no hazard" determination already has
been obtained or (3) come into compliance with the current ASR by lighting
the structure in accordance with FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1K, Chapters
4, 6, and 12.
3. Pursuant to section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and section 1.89 of the Commission's rules, The State of New Jersey
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 an authorized
official of The State of New Jersey. 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
New York Office
201 Varick Street, Suite 1151
New York, NY 10014
4. This Notice shall be sent to The State of New Jersey 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
