    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89

       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 August 7, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       District Office inspected  antenna structure # 1050840 located about
       12 miles west of Williston, ND, and observed the following violation:

     a. 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." During the inspection on August 7 2012, the agent
        observed that the paint on the antenna structure was faded and
        chipped.

    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, HMDL must submit a written statement
       concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this

       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
       HMDL to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of HMDL with personal knowledge of the

       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
