   Released: August 30, 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 Bob Adams Towing, owner of
       antenna structure number 1000900 in Birmingham, 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 violations noted herein.^

    2. On June 21, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit Office
       inspected antenna structure number 1000900 located at the coordinates
       42DEG 32' 29.1" North Latitude, 083DEG 11' 28.6" West Longitude, in
       Birmingham, Michigan 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." At the time of the inspection, the Antenna Structure
        Registration Number was not posted.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 17.57: "The owner must also immediately notify the
        Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change in structure height or
        change in ownership information." At the time of inspection, Bob
        Adams Towing had not updated the Antenna Structure Registration
        database to reflect its purchase of antenna structure number 1000900.

    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
