NOTICE OF VIOLATION

	Released: August 23, 2016

	  By the Regional Director, Dallas Office, Region Two, Enforcement
	  Bureau:

 This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section
 1.89 of the Commission's rules (Rules) to Hispanic Target Media, Inc.,
 licensee of Station KPQP in Panhandle, 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.

 On June 22, 2016, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas Office
 inspected Station KPQP located in Amarillo, Texas, and observed the
 following violation(s):

 47 C.F.R. § 11.35(a): "[Emergency Alert System] EAS Participants are
 responsible for ensuring that EAS Encoders, EAS Decoders, Attention
 Signal generating and receiving equipment, and Intermediate Devises used
 as part of the EAS to decode and/or encode messages formatted in the EAS
 Protocol and/or the Common Alerting Protocol are installed so that the
 monitoring and transmitting functions are available during the times the
 stations and systems are in operation." At the time of the inspection,
 Station KPQP had no EAS equipment. The station manager stated that the
 EAS equipment was broken and was in the repair shop two weeks prior to
 the inspection date.  On July 29, 2016, Ms. Francisco San Millan informed
 the agent that the EAS was installed on June 28, 2016.  There were no
 documents providing that the EAS equipment was sent for repair.

 47 C.F.R. § 73.1125(a)(3): "Except for those stations described in
 paragraph (b) of this section, each AM, FM, and TV broadcast station
 shall maintain a main studio at one of the following locations: (1)
 Within the station's community of license;
		(2) At any location within the principal community contour
		of any AM, FM, or TV broadcast station licensed to the
		station's community of license; or (3)Within twenty-five
		miles from the reference coordinates of the center of its
		community of license as described in § 73.208(a)(1)."
		At the time of the inspection, the agent observed that
		KPQP's studio located at 2801 Wolflin Avenue, Amarillo,
		Texas, was more than twenty-nine miles from the boundaries
		of Panhandle city.

 47 C.F.R. § 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."  At the time of the inspection,
 the agent observed that the public inspection files made available were
 missing issues-program listings, list of donors supporting specific
 program, letters and email comments from public available, and public
 and broadcasting manual.

 47 C.F.R. § 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,
 the agent observed that there was no EAS log nor station log.

 47 C.F.R. § 1.903(a): Authorization required. "Stations in the Wireless
 Radio Services must be used and operated only in accordance with the
 rules applicable to their particular service as set forth in this
 title and with a valid authorization granted by the Commission under
 the provisions of this part, except as specified in paragraph (b) of
 this section."  At the time of the inspection, Station KPQP was operating
 with a single-bay antenna while its license authorizes a six-bay antenna.

 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 concerning

 (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.

 In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Hispanic Target
