       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 May 22, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's New York Office
       monitored Station WKZE-FM and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S73.317(a): "FM broadcast stations employing transmitters
   authorized after January 1, 1960, must maintain the bandwidth occupied by
   their emissions in accordance with the specification detailed below. FM
   broadcast stations employing transmitters installed or type accepted
   before January 1, 1960, must achieve the highest degree of compliance with
   these specifications practicable with their existing equipment. In either
   case, should harmful interference to other authorized stations occur, the
   licensee shall correct the problem promptly or cease operation." The
   eighth harmonic of Station WKZE-FM (784.8 MHz) was causing interference to
   the Verizon Wireless transmitter located approximately 500 feet away.

       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional

       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 Willpower to
       support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of

       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
