NOTICE OF VIOLATION


	Released:  July 10, 2014

By the District Director, San Diego Office, Western Region, Enforcement
Bureau:

* This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section
1.89 of the Commission's rules (Rules), to Baca Broadcasting, LLC
(Baca Broadcasting), licensee of radio station KFUN in Las Vegas, New
Mexico. 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 June 16, 2014, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego
Office inspected radio station KFUN's main studio located in Las Vegas,
New Mexico, and observed the following violations:

  + 47 C.F.R. § 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause
  of any failure to receive the required tests or activations specified
  in §11.61(a)(1) and (2). Appropriate entries indicating reasons why
  any tests were not received must be made in the broadcast station
  log as specified in §§73.1820 and 73.1840 of this chapter for all
  broadcast streams ...."  At the time of the inspection, there were
  no entries explaining why required monthly tests were not received
  and transmitted from March to June 2014.  The station logs failed to
  show explanations by the Chief Operator for why these tests were not
  received and transmitted.

  + 47 C.F.R.  § 11.52(d)(2) " With respect to monitoring for EAS
  messages that are formatted in accordance with the EAS protocol, EAS
  participants must monitor two EAS sources.   The monitoring assignments
  of each broadcast station... are specified in the State EAS Plan and
  FCC Mapbook."  At the time of inspection, Station KFUN was unaware it
  was not monitoring its required assignments of KOB and KASA-TV until
  advised by the San Diego agent.

* 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 regulatees.
* Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information

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