MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: June 15, 2004 Released: June 17, 2004
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we
cancel a three thousand dollar ($3,000) Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'')1 issued to Georgia
Transmission Corp. (``Georgia Transmission''), owner of antenna
structure number 1238206 in Douglas, Georgia, for its apparent
willful and repeated violation of Section 17.4(a)2 of the
Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The alleged violation involved
Georgia Transmission's failure to register its antenna structure.
Based on our review of Georgia Transmission's response to the NAL
and the overall record, we conclude that, because the tower was
not required to be registered by Georgia Transmission Corp.,
Georgia Transmission did not willfully and/or repeatedly violate
Section 17.4(a) of the Rules. Thus, we conclude that no
forfeiture should be imposed.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section
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
Liability for Forfeiture, NAL/Acct. No. 200332480009, IS
CANCELLED.
3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall
be sent by first class mail and Certified Mail, Return Receipt
Requested, to Georgia Transmission Corp., 2100 E. Exchange Place,
Tucker, Georgia 30084.
