    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Logan County Board of

       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violation noted herein.^

    2. On  April 29, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       District Office inspected ASR # 1025568 located on North Reiradon
       Hill, about 9.5 miles east of Sterling, and observed the following
       violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.23:  "Unless otherwise specified by the Commission,
        each new or altered antenna structure to be registered on or after
        January 1, 1996, must conform to the FAA's painting and lighting
        recommendations set forth on the structure's FAA determination of "no
        hazard,"..."   The antenna structure is required two flashing white
        lights at the mid-level. The agent observed that two such lights were
        installed but one of them was extinguished.

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

       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
