     1.   In  this   Order,  we   adopt  a   Consent  Decree 
terminating a forfeiture proceeding against Miracle Assembly 
of God (``Miracle'') concerning operation of a radio station 
in  violation of  Section 73.49  of the  Commission's Rules, 
involving a  failure to enclose  an antenna tower  which has 
radio  frequency potential  at  its base  with an  effective 
fence  or enclosure.1   Miracle agrees  to make  a voluntary 
contribution to the U.S. Treasury of $500.

     2.   On  September  30,   1999,  the  Commission's  New 
Orleans  Field Office  issued Miracle  a Notice  of Apparent 
Liability  for  $7,000.2   Miracle has  indicated  that  the 
proposed  forfeiture   imposes  an   overwhelming  financial 
hardship.

     3.   The  Enforcement  Bureau  staff and  Miracle  have 
negotiated  the  terms  of   a  Consent  Decree  that  would 
terminate this proceeding.  A copy  of the Consent Decree is 
attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 

     4.   We have  reviewed the terms of  the Consent Decree 
and  evaluated the  facts  before us.  We  believe that  the 
public  interest would  be served  by approving  the Consent 
Decree and terminating this proceeding.

     5.   Accordingly, IT  IS ORDERED, pursuant  to Sections 
4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
47 U.S.C §§  154(i) and 154(j), and  the authority delegated 
in Sections  0.111 and 0.311  of the Commission's  Rules, 47 
C.F.R. §§ 0.111 and 0.311,  that the attached Consent Decree 
is hereby ADOPTED.

     6.   IT   IS  FURTHER   ORDERED   that  the   voluntary 
contribution referenced in the  Consent Decree shall be paid 
by  a  check  or money  order  drawn  to  the order  of  the 
``Federal Communications Commission.''   Reference should be 
made on the check or money order to ``Acct. No. 915OR0005.''  
The  remittance should  be  sent  to: Forfeiture  Collection 
Section, Finance Branch,  Federal Communications Commission, 
P.O. Box 73482, Chicago, Illinois 60673-7482. 

     7.   IT  IS FURTHER  ORDERED that  the above  captioned 
forfeiture proceeding IS TERMINATED.
