By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we
cancel a ten thousand dollar ($10,000) Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'')1 issued to Steven D. Semon,

antenna structure # 1010169 near Everton, Missouri for its
apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 17.51(b)2 of
the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The alleged violation
involved Sedalia Smiles' failure to exhibit the required
obstruction lighting for the tower. Based on our review of
Sedalia Smiles' response to the NAL and the overall record, we
conclude that Sedalia Smiles did not willfully and/or repeatedly
violate Section 17.51(b) of the Rules. Thus, we conclude that
no forfeiture should be imposed.

504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and
Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,3 the instant Notice of Apparent
