    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Milestone Communications, owner
       of antenna structure numbers 1273960 and 1284231 located in Chantilly,

       Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted, including issuing
       a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the violation noted
       herein.^

    2. On September 17, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Columbia
       Office inspected antenna structure number 1284231 located at 901
       Locust Street, Herndon, Virginia. In addition, on September 24, 2013,
       the agent inspected antenna structure number 1273960 located at 4201
       Stringfellow Road, Chantilly, Virginia. At both locations, the agent
       observed the following violation:

   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 inspection, the Antenna Structure Registration Numbers were not posted.

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

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

       therein,^ and confirming that all of the information requested by this
       Notice which is in the Milestone Communications' 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
