       Forfeiture for the violations noted herein.^

    2. On February 13, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas

        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

           display the Antenna Structure Registration number must be
           weather-resistant and of sufficient size to be easily seen at the
           base antenna structure." At the time of inspection, the Antenna
           Structure Registration number was not posted at the base of the

       response must be complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by
       reference to other communications or answers to other notices.^
