                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: May 23, 2013

   By the District Director, Denver District  Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Kent Sager, registrant of
       antenna structure number 1061103  by Sterling, CO.  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(s) noted herein.^

    2. On  April 29, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       District Office inspected antenna structure # 1061103, located about
       ten miles east of Sterling, CO, and observed the following violations:

     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. 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."   The agent observed that the Antenna
        Structure Registration (ASR) number was not displayed by the base of
        the antenna structure.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 17.50:  "Antenna structures requiring painting under this
        part shall be cleaned or repainted as often as necessary to maintain
        good visibility."    The agent observed that the paint was faded and
        chipped. Also, the agent observed that the paint was obscured by
        black cabling running along outer segments of the antenna structure.

    3. Pursuant to Section  403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, Kent Sager must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       (i) must fully explain each violation, including all relevant
       surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of
       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 Kent Sager  to
       support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
       Kent Sager with personal knowledge of the representations provided in
       Kent Sager's response, verifying the truth and accuracy of the
       information therein,^ and confirming that all of the information
       requested by this Notice which is in the licensee's possession,
       custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To knowingly and
       willfully make any false statement or conceal any material fact in
       reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title
       18 of the U.S. Code.^
