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

    2. On September 11, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office inspected  the base fencing of antenna structure #1013829
       located in Santa Barbara, California,  which is part of a two-tower
       directional antenna array for broadcast station KZER(AM), and observed
       the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 73.49: "Antenna towers having radio frequency potential
        at the base (series fed, folded unipole, and insulated base antennas)
        must be enclosed within effective locked fences or other enclosures."
        At the time of the inspection, the fence immediately surrounding was
        deteriorated and the padlock on the fence was unlocked.

    3. Pursuant to Section  308(b)  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
       answers to other notices.^  Lazer must also detail when the fence was
       last locked or secured, when it last inspected the fence and the
       padlock, when it first became aware that the fence was unsecured, and
       its procedure to ensure the fence is adequately secured.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Lazer to
       support their response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration
       under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of
       Lazer, verifying the truth and accuracy of the information therein,^
       and confirming that all of the information requested by this Notice
       which is in the registrant's possession, custody, control, or
