    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89

    2. On November 18, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver
       Office inspected  antenna structure # 1064204 located at 1455 Highway
       135, in Gunnison, CO. On November 25, 2013, the agent conducted an
       investigation of the information contained in the registration which
       revealed the following violation:

     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."  Further
        investigation on November 25, 2013, revealed that the phone number
        and address provided in the Antenna Structure Registration database
        for structure 1233212 were no longer valid.

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

       and must not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or
