ENFORCEMENT BUREAU FIELD OPERATIONS
LIST OF NOTICES OF APPARENT LIABILITY ISSUED

The following is a list of Notices of Apparent Liability issued by the Enforcement Bureau’s Field Offices during the period August 1, 2002 through August 31, 2002. During that period, the Field Offices issued 22 Notices of Apparent Liability ("NALs") in amounts totaling $211,000 for violations of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 151, et seq., and/or the FCC’s rules. As detailed below, of the 22 NALs issued, 12 involved violations of the Commission’s safety-related rules (e.g., antenna structure, AM station fencing requirements, cable signal leakage and Emergency Alert System). The Commission cautions licensees and antenna structure owners that the Commission takes compliance with these rules seriously. Failure to comply with these rules may result in significant enforcement actions.

This list is provided for information purposes and does not provide parties with additional rights. Parties wishing to make a payment or file a response to a NAL must do so in accordance with the instructions and by the deadline set forth in the NAL.
