                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: July  11, 2012

   By the District Director, Denver District 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 Intermountain Rural Electric Association
       (IREA), registrant of antenna structure # 1212061 in Parker, CO.

    2. On June, 29, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       District Office inspected antenna structure # 1212061 located 1/4 mile
       north of CR#186 on CR#21 and observed the following violations:

     a. 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." The agent observed that the Antenna Structure
        Registration Number was not displayed at the time of the inspection
        on June 29, 2012.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.50: "Antenna structures requiring painting under this
        part shall be cleaned or repainted as often as necessary to maintain
        good visibility." The agent observed that the paint was faded and
        chipped at the time of the inspection on June 29, 2012.

     c. 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
        # 1212061 had been completed, however, the FCC's antenna structure
        registration database showed the structure's status as "granted."

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, IREA 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 principal or officer of IREA. 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:
