MEMORANDUM OPININON AND ORDER
Adopted: October 18, 2004 Released: October 20,
2004
By the Assistant 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 Redwood
Family Services, Inc., licensee of AM Broadcast station
KHOT, for its apparent willful and repeated violation of
Section 17.4(a) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'').2
The alleged violation involved Redwood's failure to
properly register the antenna structure used for the
operation of KHOT.3 Based on our review of Redwood's
response to the NAL and the record, which showed that
Redwood did not own the tower at the time the NAL was
issued, we find that Redwood did not willfully and
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,4 the instant Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, NAL/Acct. No.
200432960001, IS CANCELLED.
3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order
shall be sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested,
and by First Class Mail to Redwood Family Services, Inc.,
P. O. Box 180, Tahoma, California 96142, and its counsel
Dennis J. Kelly, Esquire, P.O. Box 41177, Washington, D.C.
