* This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's rules(Rules), to Blow Up LLC, owner of antenna structure #1213943 in Honolulu, Hawaii.  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.

* On December 21, 2013, and January 16, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Honolulu Office inspected antenna structure #1213943 located at the Hart Street Extension next to the Kapalama Canal, and observed the following violations:

  + 47 C.F.R. § 17.51(a):  "All red obstruction lighting shall be exhibited from sunset to sunrise unless otherwise specified."  The antenna structure registration for antenna structure #1213943 requires a top flashing beacon and at least two steady burning lights at the mid-level.  At the time of the inspections, the agent observed extinguishment of one of the two steady burning lights at the mid-level.

The owner must also immediately notify the Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change in structure height or change in ownership information."  At the time of the inspections, Blow Up LLC failed to notify the Commission of a change in ownership information.

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

* In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Blow Up LLC to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of Blow Up LLC with personal knowledge of the representations provided in the 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.
