    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89

       District, licensee of Private Land Mobile Station KSD839 in Prospect
       Heights, Illinois. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance
       of this Notice 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 February 8, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Chicago

   applicable to their particular service as set forth in this title and with
   a valid authorization granted by the Commission under the provisions of
   this part, except as specified in paragraph (b) of this section." At the
   time of inspection, the agent found Prospect Heights Fire Protection
   District transmitting from the approximate geographic location of
   42DEG05'45"N latitude, 087DEG56'8"W longitude. The license for KSD839

       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.^
