                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: January 30, 2014

   By the District Director, Denver Office, Western Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Town of Buena Vista (Buena
       Vista),  registrant of antenna structure # 1250881 in Buena Vista, CO.
       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 violations noted herein.^

    2. On November 18, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       Office inspected  antenna structure # 1250881 located at the Central
       Colorado Regional Airport in Buena Vista, CO, and observed the
       following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.4(g):  "...the Antenna Structure Registration Number
        must be displayed in a conspicuous place so that it is readily
        visible near the base of the antenna structure. Materials used to
        display the Antenna Structure Registration Number must be
        weather-resistant and of sufficient size to be easily seen at the
        base of the antenna structure."   The agent observed that the Antenna
        Structure Registration Number was not displayed.

     b. 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 agent
        observed that the antenna structure has been constructed but records
        show that the Commission had not been notified of completion of
        construction.

    3. Pursuant to Section  403 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, Buena Vista 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 Buena Vista
       to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Buena Vista  with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in Buena Vista's  response, verifying the
       truth and accuracy of the information therein,^ and confirming that
       all of the information requested by this Notice which is in the
       licensee's possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been
       produced. To knowingly and willfully make any false statement or
       conceal any material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by
       fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.^
