   Released:  December 27, 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 Sequoyah County Water
       Association, licensee with call sign WNRO670 in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.
       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 November 13, 2012, agents from the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas
       Office observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.210: (e) (3): "For transmitters designed to operate
        with a 6.25 kHz or less bandwidth, any emission must be attenuated
        below the power (P) of the highest emission contained within the
        authorized bandwidth as follows: . . . On any frequency removed from
        the center of the authorized bandwidth by more than 4.6 KHz: At least
        55 + 10 log (P) or 65 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation."
        Agents monitored and found spurious emissions sweeping across marine
        channel 16, 156.8 MHz. The spurious emission exceeded the level
        allowed by the emission mask.

    3. 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,
       Sequoyah County Water Association 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 Rules, we direct Sequoyah
       County Water Association to support its response to this Notice with
       an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated
       by an authorized officer of Sequoyah County Water Association with
       personal knowledge of the representations provided in Sequoyah County
       Water Association'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
