                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: May 8, 2014

   By the District Director, Dallas  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  1 Chronicles 14, LP,  licensee
       of Stations  KVRP (AM) and KVRP-FM  in Stamford and Haskell, Texas,
       respectively.  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 April 7, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas Office
       inspected Station KVRP  located at 1406 North 1^st Street, Texas
       79521, 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."  Co-owned and co-located Stations KVRP(AM) and KVRP-FM
        share EAS equipment. Although the stations had installed CAP EAS
        equipment, at the time of inspection, the Chief Operator of the
        stations  did not know how to operate the EAS system, so the agent
        could not verify that the EAS equipment would interface with IPAWS.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1820(a)(1)(iii): Station log. All stations: "An entry
        of each test and activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS)
        pursuant to the requirement of part 11 of this chapter and the EAS
        Operating Handbook. Stations may keep EAS data in a special EAS log
        which shall be maintained at a convenient location; however, this log
        is considered a part of the station log." At the time of inspection,
        neither Station KVRP (AM) or KVRP-FM had an EAS log or other station
        log listing each test and activation of the EAS. Information pulled
        from the Chief Operator's emails showed that the stations had
        transmitted multiple EAS tests within the past six months, but there
        was no consolidated log or list of EAS tests.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.3526: "Every permittee or licensee of an AM, FM, or TV
        station in the noncommercial educational broadcast services shall
        maintain a public inspection file . . . . The file shall be available
        for public inspection at any time during regular business hours." The
        public inspection files for both stations made available during the
        inspection were missing the station license application, contour map,
        and ownership report. The Chief Operator stated that the rest of the
        public inspection files were maintained in San Antonio.

    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.
       Therefore1 Chronicles 14, LP  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 1 Chronicles
       14, LP  to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of 1 Chronicles 14, LP  with personal knowledge of
       the representations provided in 1 Chronicles 14, LP'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.^
