                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: June 18, 2013

   By the District Director, Detroit Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to New Par, owner of antenna
       structure number 1016693 in Novi, Michigan. 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 June 11, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit Office
       inspected antenna structure number 1016693 located at 42075 11 Mile
       Road, Novi, Michigan, and observed the following violation:

   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 registration
   for antenna structure number 1016693 indicates that the tower requires
   lighting in accordance with FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1K, FAA Chapters
   4, 8 and 12. Chapter 8 requires dual lighting with red/medium intensity
   flashing white systems. During the inspection, the agent observed that, in
   lieu of medium intensity flashing white system, the structure was painted.
   In order to come into compliance with the Commission's rules, New Par must
   obtain a new FAA "no hazard" determination indicating that the current
   lighting system is permitted and then submit a modified antenna structure
   registration to reflect the new "no hazard" determination.

    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, New Par 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 New Par to
       support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
       New Par with personal knowledge of the representations provided in New
       Par'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 New Par'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.^

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
