                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: January 16, 2014

   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 Gospel to the Nations
       Ministries, Inc.,  licensee of Station KWJP  in Paola, Kansas.
       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 January 8, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Kansas City
       Office inspected Station KWJP  located at 907 N Pearl St, Paola, KS
       66071, and observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.52(d)(2):  "Emergency Alert System (EAS) participants
        must comply with the following monitoring requirement: With respect
        to monitoring EAS messages formatted in accordance with the
        specifications set forth in S 11.56(a)(2), EAS Participants' EAS
        equipment must interface with the Federal Emergency Management
        Agency's Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) to
        enable............... the distribution of Common Alert Protocol
        (CAP)-formatted alert messages from the IPAWS system to EAS
        Participants' EAS equipment."  At the time of inspection, Station
        KWJP EAS equipment software  was not configured to interface with the
        Federal Emergency Management Agency's IPAWS.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its licensees.

    4. 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, Gospel to the Nations Ministries, Inc. 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.^

    5. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Gospel to the
       Nations Ministries, Inc. to support its response to this Notice with
       an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated

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