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

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

    2. On July 18, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office inspected antenna structure #1009125 in Bakersfield, CA. The
       agent observed the following violation:

     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." On July 18, 2013, the agent observed that the
        signage for antenna structure 1009125 had deteriorated and that
        several numbers were no longer legible. Also the signage was not
        visible from the base of the antenna structure but had been affixed
        to a nearby storage structure.

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

       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.^
