                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September  6, 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 Union Telephone Company (UTC),
       registrant of antenna structure # 1063027 in Cheyenne, WY.  Pursuant
       to Section 1.89(a) of the Commission's Rules, issuance of this NOV
       does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if
       warranted, including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for
       Forfeiture for the violation noted herein.

    2. On July 26, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver District
       Office inspected  antenna structure  # 1063027 located by 2011 West
       College Drive, Cheyenne, WY, and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.21(a): "Antenna structures shall be painted and
        lighted when...they exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above
        the ground or they require special aeronautical study." The FCC
        Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) for antenna structure # 1212979
        requires that it be lit in accordance with Chapters 4, 5, and 13 of
        FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1J. Chapter 5 requires red lights at the
        top and mid-level of the tower. During the inspection on July 26,
        2012, the agent observed that red lights were installed at the top of
        the tower but no lights were installed at the mid-level level of the
        tower.

    3. 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 taken.  Therefore, UTC 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
       UTC to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of UTC  with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in UTC's 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
       material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or
       imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
