By the District Director, Denver District Office, Western Region,

1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to the Aurora Public School District,
registrant of antenna structure # 1246296 in Aurora, CO.
2. On June 22, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
District Office inspected antenna structure # 1246296 located at
1955 S. Telluride Street, Aurora, CO, and observed the following
violations:
a. 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). The owner must also
immediately notify the Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change
in structure height or change in ownership information." During the
inspection, the agent observed that construction of antenna structure
number 1246296 had been completed, however, the FCC's antenna
structure registration database showed the structure's status as
"granted."
b. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.4(g): "Except as described in paragraph (h) of this
section, 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. Materials used to display the Antenna
Structure Registration Number must be weather-resistant and of
sufficient size to be easily seen at the base of the antenna
structure." At the time of the inspection, the agent observed that
the Antenna Structure Registration Number was not posted at the base
of the antenna structure.
3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, the Aurora Public
School District must submit a written statement concerning this matter
within 20 days of release of this Notice. The response must fully
