NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: February 8, 2013
By the District Director, Tampa 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 Daytona State College, owner of
antenna structure number 1030556, in DeBary, Florida. 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 January 16, 2013, agents of the Commission's Tampa Office inspected
antenna structure number 1030556, located in DeBary, Florida and
observed the following violation(s):
a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.4(g): "The Antenna Structure Registration Number must
be displayed in a conspicuous place so that it is readily visible
near the base of the antenna structure. Material 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." The Antenna Structure Registration Number was not posted.
b. 47 C.F.R.S17.47(a): "The owner of any antenna structure which is
registered with the Commission and has been assigned lighting
specifications referenced in this part: (a)(1) Shall make an
observation of the antenna structure's lights at least once each 24
hours either visually or by observing an automatic properly
maintained indicator designed to register any failure of such lights,
to insure that all such lights are functioning properly as required;
or alternatively, (2) Shall provide and properly maintain an
automatic alarm system designed to detect any failure of such lights
and to provide indication of such failure to the owner." At the time
of the inspection, Daytona State College's representative told the
agents that the lights on antenna structure number 1030556 were not
visually monitored and that there was no automatic alarm system.

c. 47 C.F.R. S 17.57: "The owner must also immediately notify the
Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change in structure height or
change in ownership information." Although Daytona Beach Community
College changed its name to Daytona State College, the Commission's
Antenna Structure Registration database listed Daytona Beach
Community College as antenna structure number 1030556's current
owner. Moreover, the contact name and number in the database was
outdated.[3][Author ID1: at Thu Jan 24 15:56:00 2013 ]
