    2. On September 16, 2013, in response to a complaint, an agent of the

       Michigan. The agent observed the following violation:

   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." Coltrace Communications, Inc. failed to
   notify the Commission of a change in ownership information for both towers
   and failed to notify the Commission within 24 hours of the dismantlement
   of ASRN 1003576.

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

       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.^
