   Released: November 12, 2013

   By the Resident Agent, Norfolk Resident Agent 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 Virginia Beach, City of -
       Communications Div., owner of antenna structure numbers 1205896 and
       1205897, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 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 1, 2013, an agent of the Commission's Norfolk Resident
       Agent Office inspected the locations registered to antenna structure
       numbers 1205896 and 1205897, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and observed
       the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.57: "The owner of an antenna structure for which an
        Antenna Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify
        the Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction (FCC
        Form 854-R) and/or dismantlement (FCC Form 854). The owner must also
        immediately notify the Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change
        in structure height or change in ownership information." On November
        1, 2013, the agent observed that the antenna structures had been
        constructed. A review of the FCC ASR database found that Virginia
        Beach, City of - Communications Div. had not updated the records to
        indicate that the antenna structures were constructed.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as

       (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.^
