                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: November 14, 2013

   By the District Director, Kansas City Office, South Central Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Lincoln Chinese Ministry
       Association, licensee of radio station KJFT-LP in Lincoln, Nebraska.
       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 violation(s) noted herein.^

    2. On November 7, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Kansas City
       Office investigated radio station KJPT-LP located at 2960 N. 38^th
       Street, Lincoln, NE. The investigation revealed the following
       violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 73.845: "Each LPFM licensee is responsible for
        maintaining and operating its broadcast station in a manner that
        complies with the technical rules set forth elsewhere in this part
        and in accordance with the terms of the station authorization. In the
        event that an LPFM station is operating in a manner that is not in
        compliance with the technical rules set forth elsewhere in this part
        or the terms of the station authorization, broadcast cast operation
        must be terminated within three hours." During the investigation, it
        was determined that Station KJPT-LP had been operating on the
        frequency 101.7 MHz. The station is authorized to operate on 107.9
        MHz.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, Lincoln Chinese Ministry Association must submit a written
       statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of
       this Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation,
       including 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 Lincoln
       Chinese Ministry Association to support its response to this Notice
       with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and
       dated by an authorized officer of Lincoln Chinese Ministry Association

       accuracy of the information therein,^ and confirming that all of the
