                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 20, 2013

   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 JCE Licenses, LLC, licensee of
       Station KBXD(AM) in Dallas, 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 January 17, 2013, agents of the Commission's Dallas Office
       inspected Station KBXD located in Dallas, Texas, and observed the
       following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R S 73.3527: "Every permittee or licensee of an AM, FM, or TV
        station in the noncommercial educational broadcast services shall
        maintain a public inspection file . . . . The file shall be available
        for public inspection at any time during regular business hours." At
        the time of inspection, the chief operator for Station KBXD (AM)
        could not make available a complete public inspection file.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 11.35(a): " EAS Participants are responsible for ensuring
        that EAS Encoder, 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
        inspection, there was no EAS equipment installed and no EAS log.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870 (c)(3): "Review of the station records at least
        once each week to determine if required entries are being made
        correctly. Additionally, verification must be made that the station
        has been operated as required by the rules or the station
        authorization. Upon completion of the review, the chief operator or
        his designee must date and sign the log, initiate any corrective
        action which may be necessary, and advise the station licensee of any
        condition which is repetitive." At the time of inspection, the chief
        operator had not reviewed nor signed the station log and had not
        initiated corrective action.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1745(a): "No broadcast station shall operate at times,
        or with modes or power, other than those specified and made a part of
        the license, unless otherwise provided in this part." At the time of
        inspection, agents asked the engineer to switch to night time mode.
        The engineer stated that they used the day-time pattern at night.
        When set in night-time mode, an agent determined that the station was
        operating with 5.5 times the nighttime operating power.

     e. 47 C.F.R S 73.1400: " The licensee of an AM, FM, TV or Class A TV
        station is responsible for assuring that at all times the station
        operates within tolerances specified by applicable technical rules
        contained in this part and in accordance with the term of the station
        authorization. " Station KBXD is authorized to operate with 5 kw
        during the day. It has a pending application on file to operate with
        50 kw and a new directional pattern during the day. At the time of
        inspection, both the chief operator and the engineer admitted that
        Station KBXD had been operating during the day with 50 kw and the
        pending directional pattern since Thanksgiving of 2012.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional

       pending corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself
