                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: January 9, 2012

   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 the New Jersey Turnpike Authority
       ("NJTA"), registrant of antenna structure # 1062641 in Dover, New
       Jersey.

    2. On December 1, 2011 at 12:48 p.m. and December 21, 2011 at 8:05 p.m.,
       an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia Office inspected
       antenna structure # 1062641 located at mile post 84.1 along the Garden
       State Parkway at the coordinates 39-59-17.0 North Latitude 074-12-36.0
       West Longitude 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' ...." At the
   time of the inspection, antenna structure # 1062641 was painted for
   daytime marking and displayed a white medium intensity strobe light at the
   top-level for nighttime illumination. The antenna structure does not
   conform to the lighting requirements of the most recent Federal Aviation
   Administration Determination of No Hazard (FAA Study No. 1993-AEA-658-OE),
   which specifies high intensity white obstruction lighting 24 hours a day.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's rules, the NJTA 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 a member of the NJTA. 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 the New Jersey Turnpike Authority 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.

   FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

   Acting District Director

   Enforcement Bureau

   47 C.F.R. S: 1.89

   At the time of the inspection, the FCC Antenna Structure Registration
   ("ASR") specified that antenna structure # 1062641 must have painting, red
   obstruction lighting and white obstruction lighting in accordance with FAA
   Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6 8, and 13 of FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1H.
   However, these requirements do not correspond with the painting and
   lighting requirement specified in the most recent FAA Determination of No
   Hazard (FAA Study No. 1993-AEA-658-OE), which requires high intensity
   white obstruction lighting. To correct all discrepancies and violations,
   the NJTA must install high intensity white obstruction lighting on the
   antenna structure and modify the Antenna Structure Registration so that it
   corresponds with the lighting requirements specified in the most recent
   FAA Determination. Alternatively, the NJTA could submit a new FAA study
   application requesting permission to paint the tower and display white
   medium intensity lighting at nighttime. If approved, the NJTA would then
   have to modify the FCC Antenna Structure Registration so that it
   corresponds with the new FAA Determination of No Hazard.
