                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: November 13, 2012

   By the District Director, Dallas Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's Rules (Rules), to Delbert Foree, licensee of
       Station KLYD-FM in Snyder, Texas. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the
       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(s) noted herein.

    2. On August 1, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas Office
       inspected Station KLYD-FM located in Snyder, Texas, and observed the
       following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants are responsible for ensuring
        that EAS Encoders, EAS Decoders and Attention Signal generating and
        receiving equipment used as part of the EAS are installed so that the
        monitoring and transmitting functions are available during the times
        the stations and systems are in operation." At the time of the
        inspection, an agent from the Dallas Office observed that Station
        KYLD-FM was sharing the EAS equipment of co-located but not co-owned
        Stations KSNY-FM and KSNY (AM). Station KYLD-FM did not have its own
        EAS equipment.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters  play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees.

    4. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information
       concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken. Therefore,
       Mr. Foree 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.

    5. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Mr. Foree to
       support his response to this Notice with a signed and dated affidavit
       or declaration under penalty of perjury, 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.

    6. 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
