                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 2, 2016

   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 Quinlan Church of Christ,
       licensee of Station KTTR-LP in Quinlan, Texas. 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 December 2, 2015, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas
       Office inspected Station KTTR-LP located in Quinlan, Texas, and
       observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.52(d): "[Emergency Alert System] EAS Participants must
        monitor two EAS sources. The monitoring assignments of each broadcast
        station, cable system and wireless cable system are specified in the
        State EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook. They are developed in accordance with
        FCC monitoring priorities." At the time of the inspection, Station
        KTTR-LP was not able to provide or to test the LP1 & LP2 monitoring
        connection to the EAS equipment.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 73.845: "Each LPFM licensee is responsible for
        maintaining and operating its broadcast station in a manner that
        complies with the technical rules set forth elsewhere in this part
        and in accordance with the terms of the station authorization. In the
        event that an LPFM station is operating in a manner that is not in
        compliance with the technical rules set forth elsewhere in this part
        or the terms of the station authorization, broadcast cast operation
        must be terminated within three hours." During the investigation, it
        was determined that Station KTTR-LP had been operating on the
        frequency 95.7 MHz. The station is authorized to operate on 95.5 MHz.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.877: "The licensee of each LPFM station must maintain
        a station log. Each log entry must include the time and date of
        observation and the name of the person making the entry." At the time
        of the inspection, Station KTTR-LP only had station logs for November
        1, 2015 and November 28, 2015. There were no CAP-formatted EAS
        messages or EAS logs available for inspection.

    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.
       Therefore, Quinlan Church of Christ 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 Quinlan Church
       of Christ to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Quinlan Church of Christ with personal knowledge
       of the representations provided in Quinlan Church of Christ'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.^

    6. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
       the following address:

    8. The Privacy Act of 1974^ requires that we advise you that the
