       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 noted herein.

    2. On December 13, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit
       Office inspected antenna structure number 1058417 located at the
       coordinates 40-o 21' 06" North Latitude, 080-o 39' 22" West Longitude

   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." At the time
   of inspection, the Antenna Structure Registration Number was not posted.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information

       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 Jefferson
       County  to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or

       authorized official of Jefferson County with personal knowledge of the

       possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To
       knowingly and willfully make any false statement or conceal any
