- Account No. 200732080020 Facility ID No. 72172 FRN No. 0011339769 NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: March 6, 2007 Released: March 6, 2007 By the Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau: INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, we find that RCK 1 Group, LLC (the ``Licensee''), Licensee of Station WKKX(AM) Wheeling, West Virginia, (the ``Station'') apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by broadcasting a live telephone conversation without giving prior notice to the individual being called of the Licensee's intention to do so. Based on review of the facts and

- Furthermore, we do not find this to be a reasonable excuse for the Station's failure to provide access to the public inspection file. To condone excuses such as this one would render the public inspection process meaningless. Based upon the evidence before us, we find that the Station apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3527 of the Commission's rules. Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for public file violations. In its LOI Response, Gaston College requests that if the Bureau determines that a violation occurred, it impose an admonishment rather than a forfeiture. In support of this request, Gaston College cites Tabback Broadcasting and American Family Association, each an admonishment against a radio station

- an equipment certification prior to marketing. Mr. Mann admits, however, that there is no certification for these devices. Therefore, we find that The Antique Radio Collector apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules by marketing an intentional radiator prior to obtaining Commission equipment certification. Section 503(b)(1) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs us to consider factors, such as ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

Imperial also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

In its Petition for Reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order, Portland Taxicab does not dispute the violations but again seeks a reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture based on its inability to pay the $12,000 forfeiture. III DISCUSSION 6. In assessing forfeiture amounts, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules require that the Commission take into account, among other things, the party's ability to pay a forfeiture.

In analyzing economic-hardship claims, the Commission generally looks to a company's gross revenues from the three most recent tax years as a reasonable and

Taking into account all of the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we therefore conclude that a proposed forfeiture of $50,000 is warranted for failing to maintain records and documentation supporting the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets.

COI's failure to respond to the Bureau's inquiries for approximately one month occurred following COI's promise that its response would be timely submitted. In fact,

- 2006. By operating its PLMRS station for almost two and one-half years without authorization, Five Star apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules. Five Star also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

Section 503(b)(1) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act.

- because its actions were not ``willful'' under Section 301 of the Act. It also asserts that the Commission is barred from assessing a forfeiture for violation of Section 1.949(a) (failure to file a timely renewal application) on statute of limitations grounds. discussion The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

- continue operations. By operating its earth station for approximately nine months without an instrument of authorization, La Carpa has apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules. La Carpa also acted in apparent violation of Section 25.121(e) of the Rules by allowing its license to lapse without renewal. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- rules and procedures should be modified or eliminated. II. SCOPE OF REVIEW The Commission identified the following rule parts containing regulations administered by the Enforcement Bureau for review and comment in the Public Notice: Part 1 - Practice and Procedure - Sections 1.711 and 1.720 to 1.736 set forth rules for the filing of formal complaints against common carriers. Sections 1.80 and 1.89 of the Commission's rules address forfeiture proceedings and penalties and Notice of Violations proceedings. Increased competition in the marketplace does not diminish the need for these rules, and thus we do not find that they are no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between telecommunications service providers. Accordingly, we find that

- Order. The Enforcement Bureau reduced the forfeiture amount from $21,000 to $16,800, based on 127, Inc.'s history of compliance with the Rules. 127, Inc. filed a petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order requesting further reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture.

Lockheed Martin concedes that it operated earth station E970322 without Commission authorization constantly and regularly from April 4, 2006 through June 7, 2006. By operating its earth station without authorization, Lockheed Martin apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

In its first argument, Farmworkers alleges that the Western Region erred in assessing the ``maximum forfeiture'' of $8,000 for what was ``clearly a mistake.'' Farmworkers argues that the Forfeiture Order cites to its logging violations and states that Section 1.80 of the Rules requires only a $1,000 forfeiture amount for logging violations. We disagree. Section 1.80 of the Rules lists $8,000 as the base, and not the maximum, forfeiture for ``EAS equipment not installed or operational.'' As the Western Region determined in the Forfeiture Order, Farmworkers failed to produce ``evidence to refute the San Diego Office's finding that no audio

The statutory maximum forfeiture for Entercom's apparent willful violation of Section 73.1216 is $32,500. Pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, the base forfeiture amount for a violation of the contest rule is $4,000. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to the violator, the degree

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that WMGO Broadcasting Corp., Inc. (the ``Licensee''), Licensee of Station WMGO(AM), Canton, Mississippi (the ``Station''), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by recording a telephone conversation for broadcast, and later broadcasting that telephone conversation, without first informing the party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our

After considering the record, the factors contained in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(D), and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we believe that a $4,000 forfeiture is appropriate in this case. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, that CBS Radio Inc. of Philadelphia, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. 11.

- issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $4,000 to Action. Despite evidence that Action received the NAL, Action has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Action Communications, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Sections 308(b) and 403 of the Act. with any questions regarding payment procedures.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules.

- rule. Forfeiture Amount The Act establishes the Commission's authority to assess forfeitures; the Commission's rules set the limits. Section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a forfeiture of up to $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum of $1,325,000 for a single act or failure to act. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. Global Access's failure to respond to the Commission's Notice as required by section 1.717 of the Commission's rules, warrants the base forfeiture amount of $4,000.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``... any omission of a specific

- determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Cardinal's conduct has continued over a period that began during March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Cardinal's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture for violation of Section 9.5(b) of the Rules. The Commission has, nevertheless, found that the ``omission of a specific rule violation from the list ... [establishing base forfeiture amounts] should not signal that the Commission considers any unlisted violation as nonexistent or unimportant. The Commission expects, and it is each licensee's

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cardinal, the statutory maximum is $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. The Commission has imposed the statutory maximum penalty against common carriers for the intentional provision of incorrect material factual information. Because

- amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Microboards' conduct has continued over a period that began on March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Microboards' apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory

- Rules and from considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Leetek's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Leetek's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for marketing unauthorized equipment. In this case, Leetek marketed two models of unauthorized pager transmitter systems. Leetek's marketing of each of these unauthorized models is a separate, continuing violation. Based on the record of this proceeding and application of the statutory factors listed above, we propose a forfeiture of $14,000

- the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that DCS's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2005 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to DCS's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. As set forth in the confidential Appendix, DCS apparently marketed PDTs that were not labeled in accordance with Sections 2.909(d) and 15.19(a)(3) of the Rules. Although it is clear from the record that DCS has marketed such PDTs within the applicable one-year statute

- a forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. As discussed below, we conclude that Oceanic is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) for its willful violation of Section 76.1603(c) of the Rules. Under Section 503(b)(2)(A) and Section 1.80(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, we may assess a cable television operator a forfeiture of up to $32,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $325,000 for any single continuing violation. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

- forth above to the facts of this case, we conclude that LCD Digital is apparently liable for a base forfeiture of $16,000 for failing to fully comply with the Consumer Alert labeling requirements in Section 15.117(k) of the Rules. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, LCD Digital Electronics, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) for violations of Section 15.117(k) of the Rules. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules within thirty days of the release date of this Notice of Apparent Liability

- 12, 2008. By operating its PLMRS station for approximately six years without Commission authorization, Mathews Readymix apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the rules. Mathews Readymix also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. However, the Commission has substantial discretion in proposing forfeitures and has stressed that digital signal reception capability is of critical importance to a successful digital transition for the nation. In its previous DTV tuner cases, the Commission concluded that applying a proposed forfeiture

- forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that CoachComm's conduct has continued over a period that began in May 2004, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to CoachComm's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. CoachComm marketed unauthorized radio frequency equipment. Specifically, CoachComm marketed one system that included the same RF transmitter in both the wireless headsets and command stations. For the apparent marketing of this

Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Rama Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $16,000 for violations of Sections 11.35(a) and 73.3526 of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is

- Licensee apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1206 by broadcasting each recorded call twice. The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation. In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' We note that Spanish Broadcasting Systems, Inc., the parent company of each Licensee, has a history of violating the Commission's rules,

- The Commission will then issue a forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. We conclude that Cox is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $20,000 for its willful violation of Sections 76.1201, 76.640(b)(1)(i), and 76.640(b)(1)(v) of the Rules. Under Section 503(b)(2)(A) and Section 1.80(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, we may assess a cable television operator a forfeiture of up to $32,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $325,000 for any single continuing violation. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

- then issue a forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. We conclude that TWC is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) for its willful violation of Sections 76.1201, 76.640(b)(1)(i), and 76.640(b)(1)(v) of the Rules.

- than 90% of the authorized power, and failure to maintain a complete public inspection file. In its response, Viva does not dispute the findings in the NAL, but requests that we cancel the forfeiture in light of its remedial efforts. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that XLNT Idea's conduct has continued over a period that began in August 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to XLNT Idea's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. As noted above, XLNT Idea marketed three devices prior to authorization: the Nexis 100AP AutoPrinter, the Nexis 100AP Publisher, and the Xi440 CD/DVD Printer. We note, however, that the Nexis 100AP AutoPrinter and the Nexis 100AP Publisher are identical except that the Nexis

- operating radio transmitting equipment on land mobile channels reserved exclusively for use by public safety entities. In his response to the NAL, Doe does not dispute the findings, but requests a cancellation of the forfeiture based on his inability to pay. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture requirements are guidelines lending some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of

- find that the base forfeiture of $1,000 against SkyPort and its affiliates for the section 214 authorization and each of the two earth station licenses is appropriate and we propose a total forfeiture of $3,000. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that SkyPort Global Communications, Inc., is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully or repeatedly violating sections 25.119 and 63.24 of the Commission's rules.

- section 310(d) of the Act and section 25.119 of the Commission's rules. The fundamental issue in this case is whether FTH violated section 310(d) of the Act and Section 25.119 of the Commission rules by transferring 35 satellite earth station licenses without required Commission approval. We answer this question affirmatively. Based on a preponderance of the evidence, and under Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we therefore conclude that FTH is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $17,500. FTH admits that it failed to apply for Commission approval to transfer control of the satellite earth station licenses. In connection with the stock recapitalization, FTH applied for Commission approval to transfer FTH television broadcast licenses. Notwithstanding FTH's arguments, the Commission did not

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that Courier Communications Corp. (``Courier'' or the ``Licensee''), Licensee of Station WNOV(AM), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (the ``Station''), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting a telephone conversation without first informing the other party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our review of the facts and circumstances,

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Multi-Tech's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2006 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Multi-Tech's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Under the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Multi-Tech apparently marketed the CallFinder device without including in the user manual the consumer information regarding radio frequency interference required by Section 15.105(a) of the Rules. We note that a $7,000 forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``... any omission of a specific

- until August 28, 2007. By operating its PLMRS station for approximately 22 months without Commission authorization, Miller apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the rules. Miller also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that DBK's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2004, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to DBK's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000.

In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- its enforcement function and evaluate whether Hauppauge violated Commission rules. There is no question that Hauppauge received the LOIs. To date, however, Hauppauge has failed to provide full and complete responses. Hauppauge's failure to fully respond to the Bureau's inquiry constitutes an apparent willful and repeated violation of a Commission order. Proposed Forfeiture Section 503(b)(1) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs us to consider factors, such as ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

- as a separate violation and Pembrook therefore requests that the forfeiture amount be reduced by $3,000. Second, Pembrook requests that the overall fine be reduced by no less than $2,000 to reflect its history of compliance with the Commission's Rules. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Pembrook's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- for operating radio transmitting equipment on the frequencies 439.850 MHz and 147.560 MHz without a license. In its response to the NAL, Mondgock does not dispute the findings, but requests a cancellation of the forfeiture based on his inability to pay. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- Forfeiture to Hispanic in the amount of eight thousand dollars ($8,000), for the apparent repeated violation of Section 11.35(a) of the Rules. Hispanic submitted a response the NAL requesting a reduction of the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amounts in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- tower's registered owner. Accordingly, we conclude that the NAL issued to Pinnacle must be cancelled and a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $3,000 is being issued on this date to Holmes. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued to Pinnacle Towers LLC IS HEREBY CANCELLED.

- Moreover, even if Campbell had provided such evidence, the mere filing of an application would not have provided Campbell any authority to operate a radio station. Accordingly, based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Michael Stone Campbell, a/k/a Monroe Campbell, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Act. with any questions regarding payment procedures.

- III. DISCUSSION WMGO does not dispute the merits of our apparent finding in the NAL that it violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules and we therefore affirm that holding. Nevertheless, WMGO contends that we should cancel or reduce the forfeiture. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

Section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a forfeiture of up to $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum of $1,325,000 for a single act or failure to act. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. Telefyne's failure to respond to the Commission's notices of three informal complaints, as required by section 1.717 of the Commission's rules, warrants the base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for each informal complaint, for a proposed

We also find by a preponderance of the evidence that COI has willfully and repeatedly failed to respond on a timely basis to a directive of the Bureau to provide certain information and documents, and support its response with the required affidavit or declaration. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. COI's failure to respond to the Bureau's inquiries for approximately one month occurred following COI's promise that its LOI response would be timely submitted. However,

- the forfeiture assessed on Antique Radio Collector, an ``individual'' engaged in a casual source of income, is excessive when compared to the forfeiture assessed on a business entity regularly engaged in the manufacture of electronic equipment. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Antique Radio Collector's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice

- conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Sennheiser's conduct commenced more than one year ago, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Sennheiser's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. At the time of Sennheiser's apparent violation, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorized the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.

- imposed. The Commission will then issue a forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. We conclude under this standard that Corr is apparently liable for forfeiture for its apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 1.903(a) of the Rules. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for operation on an unauthorized frequency. Corr concedes that it operated stations WMV851 and WPJD282 on unauthorized frequencies. We find that Corr's operation of each of these stations on an unauthorized frequency is a separate violation, subject to a separate proposed forfeiture of $4,000. We accordingly conclude

Section 1.80 of the Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for failure to respond to Commission communications. We find that Cablevision's failure to respond fully to the LOI in the circumstances presented here warrants a significant increase to this base amount. Misconduct of this type exhibits contempt for the Commission's authority

- did not intentionally commit the violations and that it has made significant efforts to come into compliance with the Commission's Rules. In addition, MBHD submits a Declaration from the WYGG consulting engineer that addresses each of the findings in the NAL.

Section 503(b)(6) does not, however, bar the Commission from assessing whether Uniden's conduct prior to that time period apparently violated the provisions of the Act and Rules and from considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Uniden apparently marketed three distinct models of GMRS transmitters that were equipped with the voice scrambling feature: the model certified under FCC ID AMWUT018 (designated by Uniden as models GMR1588-2CK and GMR1595-2CK); the model certified under FCC ID AMWUT017 (designated by Uniden as model GMR1558-2CK);and

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $16,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $112,500 for any single continuing violation.

- the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. We conclude under this standard that Apple is apparently liable for forfeiture for its failure to timely file the required hearing aid compatibility status report in apparent willful violation of the requirements set forth in Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture requirements are guidelines lending some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of

- (``Petition''). In its Petition, the Licensee seeks reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture in light of its record of compliance, the nature of the violation, and the corrective steps taken to insure its future compliance with the Commission's rules. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

- that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Power 7's conduct has continued over a period that began on March 29, 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Power 7's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000.

To substantiate these claims, XLNT Idea submits federal tax returns for 2006, 2007, and a financial statement for 2008. III.

In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''

- its Response, Princess K Fishing Corporation argues it did not willfully or repeatedly violate Section 80.89(a) of the Rules, that it was not responsible for the acts of its employee, and that it lacks the ability to pay the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-479A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-479A1.pdf
- request for STA. Thus, it appears that SES apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules by operating the Satcom C-3 satellite without Commission authority, and that SES apparently violated the requirement to file a modification application to extend the license pursuant to Section 25.117 of the Rules. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-47A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-47A1.pdf
- contained in programming that was supplied by the same third-party programmer and involved many of the same advertisers as programming that drew a previous admonishment for violation of the Underwriting Rules. In these circumstances, no mitigation as a consequence of the ``embedded'' nature of the impermissible advertisements is warranted. B. Proposed Action 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-48A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-48A1.pdf
- appropriate. Accordingly, applying the Forfeiture Policy Statement and the statutory factors to this case, we conclude that Ministerio is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's Underwriting Rules. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Ministerio Radial Cristo Viene Pronto, Inc., licensee of noncommercial educational Station WCRP(FM), Guayama, Puerto Rico, is HEREBY NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 399b, and Section 73.503 of the Commission's rules, 47

- calls to action. The foregoing references appear to exceed the licensee's discretion under Xavier because each, in the context presented, refers either to specific qualities or attributes of the respective underwriters that are not necessarily possessed by competitors, or otherwise contain prohibited price information or other language of inducement. B. Proposed Forfeiture 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that

- substantially fewer and the period of time over which they aired is substantially less. Based on all the circumstances, and after examining forfeiture actions in other recent underwriting cases, we believe that a forfeiture of $2,500 is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Cayuga County Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational Station WDWN(FM), Auburn, New York, is hereby NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 399b, and Section 73.503 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.

SkyPort has failed to either respond to the NAL or pay the full amount of the proposed forfeiture. Discussion The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement.

Saga argues that these reasons warrant a cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture.

As a result of these facts, we find that ICTI has apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's rules. B. Proposed Forfeiture The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules set a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for violation of the main studio requirements. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, set the base forfeiture amount for operation at an unauthorized location at $4,000.

- before us, we hereby impose a total forfeiture of $20,000 for AZ Prime One's willful and repeated violations of section 64.1200(c)(2) of the Commission's rules and related orders, for the reasons set forth in the NAL. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), and under authority delegated by sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311, that AZ Prime One Mortgage Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE to the United States Government in the sum of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating section 64.1200(c)(2) of the Commission's rules, 47

- issued by the Commission under the Act. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. We note that the $7,000 base forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with applicable technical requirements or are not authorized by an equipment authorization. Because adherence to the Commission's authorization procedures ensures that devices meet required

- remain confidential. As set forth in detail in the confidential Appendix, we conclude that Alpheus apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 4.9(f) of the Rules by failing to file an electronic Notification within 120 minutes and an Initial Communications Outage Report within 72 hours of discovering a reportable outage. B. Proposed Forfeiture Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty. To impose such a forfeiture penalty, the Commission must issue a notice of apparent

- Final Report. As detailed more fully in the Confidential Appendix, we find that Verizon's Final Report was incomplete and inaccurate in several important respects. We therefore find that Verizon apparently willfully violated Section 4.11 of the Rules by filing a Final Report that was not true, complete and accurate. B. Proposed Forfeiture Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty. To impose such a forfeiture penalty, the Commission must issue a notice of apparent

- was repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Myers apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment on the frequency 95.9 MHz in Lauderhill, Florida on July 21, 2009, February 4, 2010, and March 7, 2010, without a Commission authorization. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- Taking into account the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we conclude that a $20,000 proposed forfeiture is justified in light of AllCom's apparent failure to provide a response to the LOI. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that AllCom is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Act and the Commission's rules.

- Liability for Forfeiture to Ayustar in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Act. Ayustar submitted a response to the NAL requesting reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Ayustar's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- on its history of compliance with the Rules, its prompt action to repair its EAS equipment, and its inability to pay the forfeiture. LSM Radio's response does not dispute the violations identified in the NAL. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining LSM Radio's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

- not in keeping with Commission precedent and that, in several instances, licensees were only admonished for public file violations. Gaston College also asserts that the forfeiture should be reduced in light of its record of compliance with the Commission's rules. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

- offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. Taking this standard into account, and based upon the facts and circumstances presented here, we find that a forfeiture in the amount of $4,000 is appropriate in this case. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, that Nassau Broadcasting III, L.L. C., licensee of Station WWEG(FM), Myersville, Maryland, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for apparently willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, that within thirty (30) days of

- dollars ($10,000), for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Act. Jerry and Deborah Stevens submitted a response to the NAL denying that the Commission has jurisdiction over this matter and requesting that the matter be dropped. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- filed in 2009. Under the circumstances presented herein, we conclude that Turner engaged in the unauthorized transfer of control and unauthorized assignment of the 49 subject licenses in apparent willful violation of section 310(d) of the Act, and sections 25.119 and 1.948 of the Rules. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' In this regard, we note that every case presents a unique set of circumstances and turns on

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``... any omission of a specific

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- American Taxi nevertheless continued its unlicensed operations. Based on the evidence before us, we find that American Taxi apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission apparatus without a license on the frequency 152.3900 MHz from its business in Daytona Beach, Florida on September 27 and 28 and November 22, 2009. Pursuant to section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, the base forfeiture amount for operating a radio station without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

- Mobile provided evidence that it did not begin to provide service until January 2006, and therefore was not required to file CPNI certifications for the years prior to 2006. Accordingly, we find that no forfeiture should be imposed. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, the proposed forfeiture in the NAL WILL NOT BE IMPOSED.

- the main studio does not have any designated personnel. Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we find that J.M.J. Radio apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125(a) of the Rules by failing to maintain a full-time management and staff presence at the Station WQOR main studio during regular business hours. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount is $7,000 for violation of main studio rule. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and

- The violation also occurred on more than one day, and was therefore repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Coss apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1745(a) of the Rules by failing to operate Station KCKX(AM) in accordance with the station's authorized power as specified on its license. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000 per violation. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any

- lease, noncompliant radio frequency devices. Therefore, as a seller of such devices, Everbuying.com is also responsible for understanding and complying with FCC rules. As noted, supra, it is a violation of the Communications Act and the Rules for Everbuying.com to sell these jammer devices to individuals in the United States. See 47 U.S.C. 401, 501, 503; 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(3).

- a license. Mr. de Almeida submitted a response to the Second NAL requesting cancellation of the forfeiture based on his claim that he did not operate a radio transmitter on an unlicensed basis and his inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. de Almeida's responses, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice

We therefore conclude that the forfeiture proposed in the NAL should not be imposed. ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), and under the authority delegated by Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311, the proposed forfeiture in the amount of $13,500 issued to CyberData, Inc. in the July 18, 2007 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for willful and repeated violations of a Commission order WILL

- Furthermore, licensees have the affirmative obligation to prevent misleading announcements respecting the contests that they conduct. They cannot rely on implications to accomplish that result. We therefore find that Good Karma violated Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules by failing to fully and accurately disclose the material terms of the Contest. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the rules, the base forfeiture for violations of the contest rules is $4,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history or

- day. The violation was willful because Dollar consciously and deliberately used its land mobile radios on the frequency 452.250 MHz without the requisite Commission authorization. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Dollar apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation of a station without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the

- until December 22, 2009, when WTB granted BASF's STA request. By operating station WPNZ510 after the license expiration date, BASF apparently violated section 301 of the Act and section 1.903(a) of the Rules. BASF also apparently violated section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application for station WPNZ510. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- foregoing reasons, we find that the Licensee apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1206. The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation. In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``any omission of a specific rule

- a preponderance of the evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. Under this standard, we conclude that CT Communications is apparently liable for forfeiture for its failure to timely file the required hearing aid compatibility status report in apparent willful violation of section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules. 7. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture guidelines lend some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its general forfeiture authority contained in section 503 of the Act.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, that Journal Broadcast Corporation, licensee of Station KJOT(FM), Boise, Idaho, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for apparently willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. 14.

CRFI's explanation that the delay was caused by inadvertence or employee oversight is inadequate. As noted above, inadvertence or employee oversight do not excuse CRFI from liability for its failure to follow Commission rules. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the rules, the base forfeiture for violations of the public inspection file rules is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

B. Proposed Forfeiture Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty.

In its Response, HTV does not dispute the violations identified in the NAL but requests that the forfeiture amount be reduced based on its inability to pay. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture requirements are guidelines lending some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of

- to reduce the TPO during the inspection. Therefore, on January 7, 2010, the station exceeded the maximum TPO and maximum ERP. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Caribevision apparently willfully violated Section 74.735(b)(2) of the Rules by exceeding the maximum ERP for a digital LPTV station. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to have EAS equipment installed is $8,000 and the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section

- the main studio on the day of inspection as required by section 73.3526 of the Rules. Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Wall apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526(e)(12) by failing to maintain the issues/programs lists and make them available in Station WLSW's public inspection file. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- of the alien ownership restrictions. Amrica Mvil is therefore apparently liable for a base forfeiture of $8,000 for its willful violation of section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the 2007 MO&O and Declaratory Ruling. The Commission's rules provide, however, that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation ... and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' We conclude that Amrica Mvil's ability to pay warrants an upward adjustment of the base forfeiture amount. To ensure that a proposed forfeiture

See 47 U.S.C. 510. See Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3). See 18 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. 47 C.F.R.

- but the public inspection file was not made available at that time. Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain and make available, during more than one visit, a complete public inspection file. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain a main studio with a meaningful staff presence is $7,000, and the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain and make available a complete public inspection file is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E)

- no such forfeiture should be imposed.

- WL 242469 (OET, May 13, 1996). The LawMate 500 mW 2.4 GHz and 1 W 2.4 GHz transmitters operate on frequencies outside of the authorized amateur radio service bands, including restricted frequencies listed in section 15.205(a). Thus, these devices are not amateur radio devices exempt from the equipment certification requirements. See 47 U.S.C. 401, 501, 503; 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(3). This amount is subject to further adjustment for inflation (see id. 1.80(b)(5)), and the forfeiture amount applicable to any violation will be determined based on the statutory amount designated at the time of the violation.

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Spirit apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain a public inspection file at its main studio and apparently willfully failed to make available its public inspection file upon request. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000, for AM tower fencing is $7,000, and for violation of public file rules is $10,000.

III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Alleyne's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we conclude that HK Media apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain and make available the Station KFOX public inspection file at the station's main studio. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture for operation of unauthorized equipment is $5,000 and the base forfeiture for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations,

- 5445 MHz, 5650 MHz, 5670 MHz, and 5725 MHz in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Sling apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act and section 15.1(b) of the Rules by operating unlicensed radio transmitters on January 5 and 10, 2011. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

On December 19, 2008, Taylor submitted a response to the NAL requesting cancellation or reduction of the forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Taylor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- Act and section 63.18 of the Rules because it failed to obtain Commission approval before providing international telecommunications service. The Commission has consistently imposed forfeiture penalties in the amount of $100,000 for failing to obtain an international section 214 authorization before providing international telecommunications service. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' There is no evidence before us to suggest that the base amount should be adjusted in any

- which in turn, could have impacted the Auction No. 86 results. Thus, the Commission was unable to determine both the actual amount owed by VTel, and whether VTel was still entitled to the small business bidding credit, until after Mr. Hewlett's full income was disclosed. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Consistent with Commission precedent, we find that a base forfeiture in the amount of $25,000 is appropriate

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000 and for failing to file required forms is $3,000.

- the NAL acknowledging that he committed the violation, but denying that he ``used the radio knowing that it was illegal.'' Mr. Lindor also requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture because he asserts that he cannot afford the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Lindor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

- of the Rules. Because the operation occurred on more than one day, we find that the apparent violation was repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Lebron apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- he had ``made the changes [he] had to.'' Mr. Hays requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture, however, because he lives solely on social security benefits and asserts that, as a result, he cannot afford to pay the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Hays's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- the Act directs us to consider factors, such as ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' As we explain below, having considered the statutory factors, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a radio station without Commission authority. Based on the record in this proceeding, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000 for Scottsdale Lexus's unauthorized operations. We note that the base forfeiture amount is subject to adjustment, either upward or downward. Here, however, we find no basis for any

In examining Perka's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``... any omission of a specific

- amount for certain kinds of violations, and identify criteria, consistent with the section 503(b)(2)(E) factors, that may influence whether we adjust the base amount downward or upward. For example, we may adjust a penalty upward for ``[e]gregious misconduct,'' or whether the subject of an enforcement action has engaged in an ``[i]ntentional violation'' or ``[r]epeated or continuous violation.'' Pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, the base forfeiture amount for failure to respond to Commission communications is $4,000. Using our discretion to adjust the base forfeiture as circumstances warrant, however, we have imposed penalties that are many times higher for failing to respond properly to LOIs. For example, we have imposed substantial forfeitures for completely

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Andrews Tower apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 303(q) of the Act and section 17.51(a) of the Rules by failing to exhibit required red obstruction lighting on the Tower after sunset. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to comply with prescribed lighting and/or marking is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree

- monitoring of the Tower's lights. Also, Miller did not maintain an automatic light monitoring system. Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Miller apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 17.47(a) of the Rules by failing to make observations of the Tower's lights at least once each 24 hours. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to comply with prescribed lighting and/or marking is $10,000 and the base forfeiture amount for failure to conduct required monitoring is $2,000.

- Harrah's took after the agents' inspection on April 8, 2010. The Commission consistently has stated that ``corrective action taken to come into compliance with Commission rules or policy is expected, and does not nullify or mitigate any prior forfeitures or violations.'' Moreover, Harrah's concedes that it had not even applied for a license until after receipt of the LOI. Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a station without Commission authority and a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information. Although we find no basis here for a downward adjustment given the circumstances of this case, we conclude that an upward adjustment of the total $13,000 base

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that RAMCO apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 17.57 of the Rules by failing to notify the Commission of a change in structure ownership from January 2, 2010 until January 12, 2011. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for: (1) failing to comply with prescribed lighting and/or marking is $10,000; and (2) failing to file required forms or information is $3,000. Section 1.80 of the Rules does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the ASR number. The Commission has determined, however, that an appropriate base forfeiture amount

Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Pilot Media apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526(e)(12) by failing to maintain the issues/programs lists and make them available in Station WIBL's public inspection file. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. Because Station WIBL's public file was mostly complete, we conclude a reduction in the base forfeiture amount for the public file violation to $4,000 is appropriate. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in

Proposed Forfeiture and Reporting Requirement Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount is $7,000 for violation of the main studio rule. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

Proposed Forfeiture Amount and Reporting Requirement Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to comply with prescribed lighting and/or marking is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree

Accordingly, we find that Telava willfully and repeatedly failed to comply with Section 17.56(a) of the Rules by failing to repair the Antenna Structure's light outage as soon as practicable. Proposed Forfeiture and Reporting Requirement Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (Forfeiture Policy Statement), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to comply with prescribed lighting is $10,000 and failing to conduct required monitoring is $2,000.

In its Response, Dollar requests that we reduce the proposed forfeiture because the violation was ``an unintentional mistake,'' which Dollar readily admitted, and because Dollar cooperated fully in the investigation. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Dollar's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- amount for certain kinds of violations, and identify criteria, consistent with the section 503(b)(2)(E) factors, that may influence whether we adjust the base amount downward or upward. For example, we may adjust a penalty upward for ``[e]gregious misconduct,'' or whether the subject of an enforcement action has engaged in an ``[i]ntentional violation'' or ``[r]epeated or continuous violation.'' Pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, the base forfeiture amount for failure to respond to Commission communications is $4,000. Using our discretion to adjust the base forfeiture as circumstances warrant, however, we have imposed penalties that are many times higher for failing to respond properly to LOIs. For example, we have imposed substantial forfeitures for completely

Proposed Forfeiture Amount and Reporting Requirement Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Power's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- WPLY's engineer and sales manager both admitted to the agents that Nassau Broadcasting has never maintained a public inspection file for Station WPLY at its main studio. Based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Nassau Broadcasting apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating the station in direct contravention of the terms of its station authorization is $4,000, and the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act,
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-12-608A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-12-608A1.pdf
- responsible for maintaining public file material from the period of time prior to the Station's current ownership, and because the amount of the proposed forfeiture improperly exceeds the forfeiture amounts imposed in similar circumstances.'' III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mapleton's Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- consciously operated the station on more than one day, we find the apparent violation was not only willful, but also repeated. Therefore, based on the foregoing, we find that Mr. Thermitus apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- the violation dates are barred by the statute of limitations; that it has a history of compliance; and that it is unable to pay the forfeiture. We discuss below each of these arguments in turn. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Ace's response, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

Proposed Forfeiture Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized equipment is seven thousand dollars ($7,000). In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator,

- not by the Licensee's selection, which undermines the complainant's charges of manipulation. Thus, we are persuaded that no rigging occurred in this instance. Based upon the evidence before us, and in view of the applicable law and Commission precedent, we find that Clear Channel apparently willfully violated section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules specify a base forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for each violation of section 73.1216. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation,

Proposed Forfeiture Amount Section 503(b)(1) of the Act provides that any person that willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission, shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty. Section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(2) of the rules authorizes the Commission to assess a forfeiture of up to $150,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation by a common carrier, up to a statutory maximum for continuing violations of $1,500,000 for a single act or failure to act.

- of these frequencies under its license for Station WQFC968 or under any other license. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Aramark apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules by operating radio transmitting equipment on unauthorized frequencies. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating on an unauthorized frequency is $4,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any

- and/or otherwise was involved in the general conduct or management of the unauthorized station and did so on more than one day. Therefore, we find that Mr. Rivas apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- and on more than one day, the apparent violation of the Act was both willful and repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Knighten apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- reports that it is now in compliance with Section 73.1350(a), stating that the ``automation equipment used to transition WIPC from daytime to nighttime operations has been repaired and is functioning properly at the present time.'' DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Super W's response, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) in the amount of $22,000 to Mr. Young. Mr. Young has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.204, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Arthur Lee Young IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $22,000 for violations of Sections 301 and 303(n) of the Act. with any questions regarding payment procedures.

- after 6 p.m. EST, which is the local sunset time during the month of October. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Birach apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1745(a) of the Rules by failing to operate within the terms of the Station's authorization. Proposed Forfeiture and Reporting Requirement Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding the power limit is $4,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- material factual information was intentional in violation of Section 1.17(a)(1) of the Rules, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting apparently willfully violated Section 1.17(a)(2) of the Rules by providing material factual information that was incorrect without a reasonable basis for believing that the information was correct and not misleading. Proposed Forfeiture Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for broadcasters such as Vision Latina, the base forfeiture is $37,500 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-12-933A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-12-933A1.pdf
- file for Station KBPO during regular business hours and found the file did not contain any issues-programs listings. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting apparently willfully violated Section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to make available a complete public inspection file. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of public file rules is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any

- All of these facts indicate that Mr. Jean consciously operated and/or otherwise was involved in the general conduct or management of the unlicensed station. Therefore, we find that Mr. Jean apparently willfully violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- investigations without further expenditure of public resources. Nothing on the record in this case, including A Radio's ability to pay claim, warrants any leniency or mitigation of the proposed forfeiture amount. We have examined the NAL Response pursuant to the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b) of the Act, and in conjunction with the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules. Considering the entire record and the statutory factors listed above, we find that A Radio is liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $25,000. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.204, 0.311, 0.314, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, A

Behringer also claims that it has implemented affirmative measures to ensure compliance with the FCC equipment authorization and related requirements. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture set forth in the NAL was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the guidelines enunciated in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeiture liability, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs the Commission to take into account the violator's degree of culpability, history of prior offenses and ability to pay; the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and such other matters as justice may require. We

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for the violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. The DTV tuner requirement promotes an

The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. The DTV tuner requirement promotes an important

Further, the Commission allows a maximum forfeiture of $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, except that the amount assessed shall not exceed $1,325,000 for any single continuous violation. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

The NAL gave LocateCell the option of paying the proposed forfeiture or of filing a

- Moreover, Austin Hughes sold units of five of the devices. Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Austin Hughes apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(2) of the Rules by marketing nine unauthorized Class A digital devices without proper verification. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- dispute the violations, but seeks cancellation or reduction of the proposed $75,000 forfeiture. San Jose claims that its violations were not intentional, that its corrective measures demonstrate good faith, and that its payment of the forfeiture would cause economic hardship. III. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, the Commission is required to take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s); the violator's degree of culpability, history or prior offenses and ability to pay; and such other matters as justice may require. We have considered San Jose's claims in light of
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-45A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-45A1.pdf
- amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Hawking's conduct has continued over a period that began in July 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Hawking's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-49A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-49A1.pdf
- own risk. Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Ramko apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules by selling or offering for sale 17 models of radio transceivers which, by their nature, are ineligible for equipment certification. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Ramko's violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules were willful and repeated. Section 1.80(b)(4) of
- http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-58A1.doc http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-58A1.pdf
- concedes that the Commission may deviate from the guidelines in accordance with the criteria set forth in section 503(b)(2)(D). In any event, the Commission's established methodologies for determining the amount of the forfeiture for the particular violations at issue here do take into account the base forfeiture amounts, as well as the upward and downward adjustment criteria, specified in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. The Commission followed this methodology exactly in the InPhonic NAL. Next, with respect to section 503(b)(2)(D), InPhonic is wrong that we did not comply with the Act because the forfeiture was not sufficiently tied to InPhonic in particular. For example, with respect to the registration violation, InPhonic states that instead of ``a particularized Section 503(b)(2)(D) analysis,

V. ORDERING CLAUSES 28.

Horizon's failure to timely respond to the twenty-one (21) informal complaints served by CGB warrants the base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for each apparent violation, for a proposed forfeiture of eighty-four thousand dollar ($84,000).

Therefore, we find Compass apparently liable for a $20,000 forfeiture for its apparent violation of sections 1.1154 and 1.1157 of the Commission's rules. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that Compass Global, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $828,613.44 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Act and the Commission's rules.

We now turn to the proposed forfeiture amount, which in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $50,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Sections 2.803(a) and 15.204(d) of the Rules. 4.

Therefore, we find Omniat is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $40,000 for its willful and repeated failure to make regulatory fee payments from 2005 to 2008. Finally, we find that Omniat has repeatedly and willfully failed to provide a timely and complete response to the LOI. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. We find that Omniat's total failure to respond to the LOI warrants a substantial increase to this base amount. Misconduct of this type exhibits a

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. The DTV tuner requirement promotes the important

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount in no way suggests, however, that a forfeiture should not be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that ``... any omission

After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, in particular the financial hardship that would result from an $8,000 forfeiture, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that rescission of the $8,000 forfeiture is warranted. We note, however, that the actions at issue in this case constitute a violation of Section 11.35 of the Rules. We will, therefore, retain a record of this violation, and the violation will be considered in determining an equitable penalty in the event any future violations occur.

- In assessing the forfeiture amount for the tower fencing violation, the NAL noted the inspecting FCC agent's conclusion that Culpeper was aware of the deficiencies in the fence prior to the inspection, making this violation willful. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations, the Columbia Field Office noted that The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines listed a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the fencing violation and $4,000 for the excessive power violation. After considering Culpeper's history of compliance with respect to its operation of WCVA, the Columbia Field Office reduced the forfeiture amount for the excessive power violation to $2,000. No corresponding reduction was deemed to

- Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) to Morradio, Inc. for the referenced violations. Morradio has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm the assessment of a monetary forfeiture in this matter. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Morradio, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $12,000 for willful violation of the provisions of Sections 11.35(a), 73.1690(b), and 73.3538(a)(4) of the Commission's Rules. 4.

- further discussion. However, as explained below, we conclude that Ms. Gizzo has justified a reduction of the base forfeiture amount in light of her inability to pay. Ms. Gizzo argues that, under SBREFA, she is entitled to reduction of the forfeiture amount as a small business. The Commission, through its Forfeiture Policy Statement, Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidelines for upward and downward adjustment of forfeitures. See Jerry Szoka, 14 FCC Rcd 9857, 9866 (1999), recon. denied, 14 FCC Rcd 20147 (1999). Under these guidelines, we consider a licensee's ability to pay as a relevant factor in assessing forfeitures. Our review of Ms. Gizzo's

- to the Commission or to a charitable organization of his choice, as determined most appropriate by the Commission; and permit an authorized Commission agent to inspect his residence to ensure all equipment has been removed. III. DISCUSSION 12. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Broadcasting, based on the information submitted we would find no reason to reduce its forfeiture amount. 10. Turning to ARS Broadcasting's claim that it might qualify as a small business, we will assume, for this discussion only, that it qualifies as a small business. The Commission, following Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, and through its Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidance for upward and downward adjustments to forfeitures, as provided by SBREFA. Using this guidance, we do not find that ARS Broadcasting is entitled to a further reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture amount. 11. After examining ARS Broadcasting's response to the NAL under Section 503(b)(2)(D)

- has not demonstrated that its conduct warrants a reduction of its proposed forfeiture. Quite the opposite, WBC's intentional misconduct justifies use of the upward adjustment criteria cited in the NAL. The proposed forfeiture is fully justified and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, WRHC Broadcasting Corp. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars ($22,500) for violating the terms and conditions of its license and the Commission's rules requiring operation within the parameters set forth in the license, and requiring express permission prior to a permittee's operation or commencement of program tests involving directional

On October 1, 1999, the Wireless Bureau granted the late-filed renewal applications. On November 5, 1999, the Wireless Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, issued an NAL in the amount of $3,000 to Advanced TelCom for the late filing of its license renewal applications.

- of those facts and arguments and reduced the proposed forfeiture from $11,000 to $2,000. Thus, we find no basis for modifying the Forfeiture Order. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, William L. Leavell's Petition for Reconsideration IS DENIED. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within thirty (30) days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the specified period, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.

On March 3, 2000, the Bureau released the Forfeiture Order, which assessed a monetary forfeiture of $5,000 for willful violation of Section 73.1213(b). DISCUSSION 4. The Bureau issued the Forfeiture Order pursuant to Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503, and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) ("Policy Statement").

In its response to the NAL, PCS Communications raises several issues regarding the Field Office's investigation of Coupe's complaints and alleges that the record is neither accurate nor complete. 4. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and as provided by Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, we conclude that cancellation of the NAL is warranted. 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the NAL issued to PCS Communications, Inc. IS CANCELLED. 6.

- (February 26, 1999), we believe that Three Eagles can only receive limited credit for its prior record of compliance. Based upon our consideration of the record as a whole, we believe a $6,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Three Eagles of Columbus, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of six thousand dollars ($6,000), for its willful violation of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3999.

We find, therefore, that Chadmoore's and PTT Maple's operation from the Clark Tower site was permitted under Section 90.693(b) of the Rules. Upon review of the particular circumstances in this case and in accordance with the discretion afforded to the Commission by Section 504 of the Act and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we have determined that rescission of the proposed forfeitures is warranted. ORDERING CLAUSES 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued against Chadmoore and PTT Maple ARE RESCINDED. 8.

Nonetheless, because Diamond apparently believed that American Tower was responsible for responding, and taking into account all the factors required under Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we find that the proposed forfeiture should be reduced to $500. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Diamond Services Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $500 for violating Section 1.89(b) of the Commission's Rules, which requires the recipient of a Notice of Violation to respond in writing within a specific time period.

- find that the violations were willful. The Commission has held that an act or omission is ``willful'' if it is a conscious and deliberate act or omission, whether or not there is any intent to violate the rule. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the violations warrant the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

- to the NAL, Buchanan requested reduction of the forfeiture amount. In its March 22, 1999, Forfeiture Order, CIB reduced the forfeiture amount to $10,000 on the basis of Buchanan's inability to pay a larger amount. DISCUSSION 3. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503, and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, CIB followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407 (Released December 28, 1999) ("Policy Statement").

Subsequently, on June 19, 1998, the Chief, Compliance Division, issued the Forfeiture Order affirming the monetary amount of $8,000. DISCUSSION 5. The Field Office issued the forfeiture pursuant to Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503, and Section 1.80 of the Rules.

- 33617 ) FORFEITURE ORDER Adopted: March 2, 2000 Released: March 3, 2000 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 1. This order imposes a forfeiture against Leslie D. Brewer, d/b/a/ L.D. Brewer's 2-way Radio (collectively, ``Mr. Brewer''), in the amount of $10,000, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, for willful violation of Sections 2.803(a)(1), and 15.201(b) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. 2.803(a)(1), and 15.201(b). These violations are based on the marketing of a transmitter not authorized by the Commission.

As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- Mr. James Farlow has raised in response to both the underlying Notice of Apparent Liability ("NAL") and the Forfeiture Order. The NAL proposed and the Forfeiture Order affirmed imposition of a forfeiture against Mr. Farlow in the amount of $7,000, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("the Act"), 47 U.S.C.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Joy Public Broadcasting Corporation's petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order for NAL No. 915TP0004 IS DENIED. 7. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.

- is establishing a procedure to ensure that certificate violations will not occur in the future; and it is rare for Sealand, which operates almost 40 U.S. flag vessels, to miss the renewal of a Safety Certificate. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 364(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4), requires that the Commission, in examining Sealand's response, take into account the nature,

- account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''). Those factors include the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. See also Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules. After considering all of the circumstances, we believe the ends of justice will be served by imposing the forfeiture for the main studio rule violation but canceling the forfeiture for the public file rule violation. 6. With respect to the main studio violation, we note that we recently imposed a forfeiture of $7,000 for willful and

- not believe that KXLE has presented sufficient reasons to justify reducing the forfeiture amount. Even if the AM equipment had been dismantled for repair on the day of inspection, as KXLE claims, we believe an $8,000 forfeiture amount for the inoperable EAS equipment for the FM station alone is appropriate. See The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Red 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, released December 28, 1999 (base amount of $8,000 for EAS violation). 6. Further, KXLE claims that its lack of knowledge of required EAS testing for the FM station warrants reducing the forfeiture amount. Commission licensees are responsible for knowing and adhering to the

- submission is not supported in this manner and, therefore, provides no reliable basis for Hoosier's claim of inability to pay. In any event, the material that Hoosier did submit indicates gross revenues of approximately $52,000 for 1998. A $4,000 forfeiture under these circumstances is not excessive. 8. The forfeiture standards in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines sets $5,000 as the base forfeiture amount for a willful violation of Section 73.1350(a). The Field Office and the Bureau reviewed the record, which included Hoosier's operating history and claims of vandalism, and concluded that a $4,000 forfeiture was indicated instead of the $5,000 base forfeiture amount. We affirm that conclusion. IV.

Pampa refiled the applications on May 28, 1999, and the Commission's staff granted them on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000) to Pampa for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5. On December 6, 1999, the FCC received Pampa's response to the NAL. In that response, Pampa asserted, among other arguments, that it requested application forms from the Commission on March 24, 1999, but

DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- intent, the cited violations were willful. The Bureau also noted that while remedial action to correct a violation is commendable, it will not nullify a forfeiture penalty, and, further, that Northwest had not provided any documentary evidence to evaluate its ability to pay the forfeiture. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407 (Released December 28, 1999) ("Policy Statement").

Upon review of the particular circumstances in this case, and in accordance with the discretion afforded to the Commission by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we have determined that rescission of the forfeiture is warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the forfeiture issued against County of Surry IS RESCINDED. 7.

- violations, when coupled with its culpability, offset Bay's overall history and market situation. Further, neither Bay's small business status nor its asserted inability to pay warrants reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture. The forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Bay Broadcasting Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of nineteen thousand dollars ($19,000). The forfeiture is imposed for willful and repeated violations of Section 301 of the Act and Sections 73.1201, 73.1675, 73.1690 and 74.1251 of the Commission's rules.

WTB granted the late-filed renewal applications on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of three thousand dollars ($3,000) to Champion for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5.

- inadvertent. Capstar accepted the CD with the multiple versions of ``The Real Slim Shady'' and did not take sufficient care to ensure that the unedited version would not be played. We thus believe that the airing of the unedited version of the song, however unintentional, was still willful. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- that an act or omission is ``willful'' if the violator knew it was taking the action in question whether or not there is any intent to violate the rule. Under these circumstances, we conclude that Mr. Kaminski's apparent violation of section 73.1015 warrants the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. In assessing a forfeiture, section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to consider the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. The Commission's Forfeiture Guidelines establish a base amount of $4,000 for failure to respond to Commission communications.

- Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $16,800 on WLDI, Inc. (``WLDI''), licensee of Station WCOM(FM), Bayamon, Puerto Rico, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). BACKGROUND On October 1, 1999, Chancellor Media Corporation, owner of WLDI, filed with the Commission an application to transfer control of WLDI to the Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico (``SBS''). WCOM(FM) broadcast the allegedly indecent material that is the subject of this order on October 18, 19 and 20, 1999. Just over one week later, on October 29, 1999,

- see no basis for finding otherwise in this case. In addition, although The KBOO Foundation has submitted a petition signed by listeners who support the ``Soundbox,'' we have previously ruled that neither the statute nor our case law permits a broadcaster to air indecent material merely because it is popular. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of 47 U.S.C. 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Commission's rules.

Although Citadel contends that it attempted to render the song suitable for broadcast through editing, we believe that the licensee failed to purge a number of indecent references. 8.

Arnold's Petition for Reconsideration ("Petition"), requests that the Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') specify the amounts assessed for each violation and state whether we arrived at the forfeiture amount by using any upward or downward adjustments. In this regard, Arnold argues that the forfeiture amount is excessive and should, at most, be $11,000 in accordance with Section 1.80 of the Rules. We calculated the forfeiture against Arnold as follows: $8,000 base amount for the ( 11.35 violation adjusted upward by $2,000 ($10,000); $3,000 base amount for the ( 73.1350 violations adjusted upward by $1,000 ($4,000); $1,000 base amount for the ( 73.1820 violation; and $1,000 for the ( 73.1870 violation.

- tower lights and the third party failed to notify it of the extinguished beacon. Eure asserts that the violation was not repeated because the FCC agent observed the violation on only one day, June 9, 2001. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Section 399B of the Act, and Sections 73.503 and 73.3527 of the Commission's rules, respectively, by broadcasting announcements promoting a for-profit entity and for failing to maintain the station's public file. In light of the station's otherwise unblemished prior enforcement record, however, we find that a monetary sanction is not warranted to redress this rule violation. See Note to Section 1.80 (b)(4) of the Commission's rules. Instead, we believe that an admonishment is appropriate under the circumstances of this case. IV. Ordering Clauses 17. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Isothermal Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational station WNCW(FM), Spindale, North Carolina, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of

The information provided by NEPC adequately explains why it may have been difficult for NEPC to respond to Commission correspondence. Therefore, pursuant to Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we reduce the $7,000 forfeiture amount by the amount of the forfeiture assessed for NEPC's failure to respond to Commission correspondence ($4,000). 5. However, the fact remains that NEPC did fail to register its Forked River, New Jersey, antenna structure and it does not dispute the violation. Moreover, it has provided no basis upon which to reduce

After reviewing Mr. Pettrey's response, we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $10,000 forfeiture is warranted based on Mr. Pettrey's inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, the forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) proposed in the July 30, 2001 NAL issued to Jeffrey Alan Pettrey IS CANCELLED. 4.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined that an appropriate base amount is $2,000 per violation. Application of that base amount to each of VoiceStream's violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $24,000. We find

In addition, Oahu Aviation apologized for the false activations and promised to take ``every precaution to prevent any further disruption.'' III. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the Honolulu Office assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- 2, 2001 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $7,000 on Infinity Radio License, Inc. (``Infinity''), licensee of Station WLLD(FM), Holmes Beach, Florida, for a willful violation of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. By Notice of Apparent Liability, DA 00-2724, released December 5, 2000 (``NAL''), we determined that certain material apparently broadcast over WLLD(FM) on September 11, 1999, was indecent. After considering the context, we opined that the language from two discrete excerpts from the live rap and hip hop concert, ``The Last Damn Show,'' contained patently offensive references to

- which supported the downward adjustments made to the proposed forfeitures. In both instances, the carriers submitted plans to eliminate their universal service debts to USAC and commenced paying down their arrearages prior to issuance of their respective Notices of Apparent Liability. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), North American Telephone Network, LLC is LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 254(d) and 47 C.F.R. 54.706. 10. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in 47 C.F.R. 1.80 within thirty days of the release of this Forfeiture Order.

- basis for additional notices of apparent liability. If Advanced continues to violate our universal service rules, such violations could result in future NALs proposing substantially greater forfeitures, or could result in issuance of a show cause order to revoke Advanced's operating authority. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Advanced Telecom. Network, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of forty-six thousand seven hundred dollars ($46,700) for violating the Act and the Commission's rules requiring regular contributions for universal service. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 1.80, within thirty days of this NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY, Advanced Telecom.

- necessary to foster compliance or serve as a deterrent.'' Contrary to TeleCorp's assertion, it has not demonstrated any good faith compliance with the lighting rules. Additionally, although it has apparently rectified its outstanding violations, we note that its corrective action will not excuse its past violations. After reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and TeleCorp's response to the NAL, we believe that the $80,000 forfeiture is warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, TeleCorp IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $80,000 for willfully

- the day after its prior permit expired, and December 12, 2000, when it received an STA. Telemundo's apparent violation of Section 325(c) of the Act during this period is aggravated by its history of noncompliance with Section 325(c) between 1993 and 1995. Under these circumstances, we conclude that a monetary forfeiture appears warranted. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, which provides further guidance in establishing appropriate forfeiture amounts, does

- the Consent Decree and Time Warner's commitment to be bound thereby, we believe that the public interest would not be served by imposing a forfeiture, but rather by approving the Consent Decree and terminating further consideration of enforcement action. 4. In determining the amount of potential forfeitures, we are guided by The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, which takes into consideration standards set forth in Section 503(b)(2) of the Communications Act. Under these standards, $7,500 is the base forfeiture for a willful and repeated violation of the cable broadcast signal carriage rules, although the Commission and the Bureau retain the discretion not to issue any forfeiture, or to issue

- - TV6 transferred control of K06MU to Bear Valley Broadcasting, Inc. prior to having received Commission authorization to do so. Having received nothing to suggest otherwise, we conclude that the unauthorized transfer occurred and that imposition of the forfeiture is warranted. Ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that K.I.D.S. - TV6 FORFEIT to the United States the sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 310(d) and 47 C.F.R. 73.3540(a).

- entitled to leniency because it cannot afford to pay a forfeiture. If we deem a forfeiture appropriate on the basis of facts unrelated to Skywave's financial circumstance, Skywave asserts, the Bureau should consider reducing the forfeiture amount. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999)(``Policy Statement'').

- Act and Section 22.3 of the Rules. We, therefore, can find no basis for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture and affirm the Forfeiture Order. Consistent with a prior statement by the Commission, our forfeiture relates to the period before AA Beep filed its renewal application. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the ``Federal Communications

In the each of the months at issue, SBC violated the Business Rules in other material respects, and the $8000 proposed forfeiture for each of those months will stand. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, SBC Communications SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of eighty eight thousand dollars ($88,000.00) for willfully or repeatedly violating the Commission's merger conditions in the SBC/Ameritech Merger Order.

- a forfeiture is appropriate in this case, and see no basis for departing from the base forfeiture amount. Thus, we propose a forfeiture in the amount of $3,000. This amount is consistent with at least one other case involving a similar transgression. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, PCS Partners, L.P. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Sections 1.2107(c) and 1.2107(f) of the Commission's rules.

Compliance with this rule obviates the need to send copies of violation notices to any entity other than the tower owner of record. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000) for violating Sections 17.57 and 17.4(g) of the Rules by failing to notify the Commission of changes in tower ownership, failing to post ASR numbers, and in one instance, failing to post the correct ASR number. 6.

- 28, 1999, is of genuine concern. If a pattern of inadequate service persists, it could be the basis for concluding that that MediaOne has failed to provide the minimum level of technical support required by Section 76.971(c). In such case, we could issue a notice of apparent liability for forfeiture pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act and Sections 1.80 and 76.975(f) of the Commission's rules. ORDERING CLAUSES 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petition for relief of Fal-Comm Communications (Fal-Comm) in File No. CSR 5379-L IS DENIED.

- have records to support its assertions that its employees posted the ASR numbers in conformance with the Commission's Rules and its corporate compliance plan. 10. After reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that no further reduction of the proposed forfeiture is warranted. In conclusion, after reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, Section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and AT&T Wireless' opposition to the NAL, we believe that a $14,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, AT&T Wireless IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $14,000

After reviewing T & W Communications's financial documentation, we find that the $6,500 proposed forfeiture is reasonable given its gross receipts or sales of $510,816 (1997), $406,814 (1998), $511,304 (1999), and $370,928 (through September of 2000).

In regard to this forfeiture proceeding, the licensee may take appropriate action as set forth in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, and Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 504(a), as summarized in the attachment to this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Forfeiture Order.

Moreover, although some of the segments may have been short, this is not a case where there is a fleeting or passing sexual reference.

Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- exigent matters has prevented my response until now.'' We conclude that American has not provided evidence of ``unavoidable circumstances'' that would explain its 17 month delay in responding to the NOV. We also reject American's argument that the Commission ``lacks the moral authority'' to impose forfeitures on its regulatees who violate the Rules. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules clearly authorize the Commission to assess forfeiture penalties on regulatees who violate the Act or the Rules. American's assertions concerning the Commission's ``moral authority'' provide no basis for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. Accordingly, we deny its petition for reconsideration. IV.

- broadcast of indecent material apparently had no impact on the airing of the cited material, and its current procedures for editing ``Kramer and Twitch'' and advising audiences about its content have no bearing on whether a forfeiture should be imposed. See Station KGVL, Inc., 42 FCC 2d 258, 259 (1973). 7. Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- III. DISCUSSION Based on the evidence before us, we find that Telecorp Communications, Inc. apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 17.51 of the Commission's Rules by its failure to comply with the required lighting of antenna structures and by failing to notify FAA flight service stations of the outages. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), the base forfeiture amount for lighting and marking violations is $10,000.

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), the base amount is $3,000 for each of SpectraSite's three failures to file required forms or information (i.e., failure to file ownership change information).

In their reply Charter simply states that the leakage violations have been corrected and that the system personnel acted as quickly as practicable to reduce power in the aeronautical frequency bands. Conclusion The Commission assesses monetary forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'') as implemented in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules. A forfeiture may be assessed against a person who the Commission finds to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Commission's Rules. ``Willful'' in this context means that the person knew that he was doing the act in question, regardless of intent to violate the provision. ``Repeated'' means

This case is more serious, as it involves the broadcast of a larger number of advertisements on many occasions over a lengthy period of time. These factors warrant substantial compounding of the base forfeiture amount. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). However, we do not find any other type of sanction to be necessary or justified at this time. 32. Finally, Lincoln asserts that we should sanction Minority for filing frivolous pleadings that have abused the Commission's processes. We decline to do so.

- the average broadcast listener, we find that the material broadcast on KNDD(FM), in context, is patently offensive.

Noncommercial licensees are responsible for complying with Section 399B of the Act. See, e.g., Minority Television Project, Inc. (DA 02-1945), ___ FCC Rcd ___ (released August 9, 2002). Consequently, we believe a monetary sanction appears warranted. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules specifies that the base amount for an underwriting rule violation is $2,000. In this case, we believe that no adjustment upward or downward is warranted and that the base forfeiture amount is appropriate. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). IV. Ordering Clauses 8.

- although the complainant originated the call, the on-air personality could not reasonably have presumed that the complainant had the awareness required by the rule. Therefore, Entercom's recording of the conversation and subsequent broadcast thereof without sufficient notice violated Section 73.1206 of the rules. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, without regard to any

- been lied to and scammed and that the station was a week away from dismantling when the FCC visited the station the second time. Finally, Mr. Muoz submits that neither he nor his church has the funds to pay the $10,000 forfeiture. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Chicago District Office issued a $17,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') to Cornbelt Broadcasting for the noted violations. Cornbelt Broadcasting has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture.

- automatic alarm system will be reduced if VelociTel must pay the full forfeiture amount; and that investing in safety is a better use for ``scarce resources'' than payment of a forfeiture. III. Discussion 6. The Enforcement Bureau assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Order, we impose a forfeiture of $21,000 on Emmis Radio License Corporation (``Emmis''), licensee of Station WKQX(FM), Chicago, Illinois, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999, which prohibit the broadcast of indecent material at certain times of day. We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received complaints that WKQX(FM) broadcast indecent material on March 6, 2001, March 7, 2001 and May 17, 2001 between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. during the ``Mancow's Morning Madhouse'' (``Mancow'') program.

- logged by station personnel. In addition, Oberlin asserts that payment of the proposed $8,000 forfeiture would impose a financial hardship on it and submits financial information for 1999, 2000 and 2001 in support of this assertion. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- on any other day, and that locks were installed on the date of inspection and have been in place since that date. Therefore, Mitchell argues that there was no willful or repeated violation of Section 73.49. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- provisions of the Commission's rules. Under these circumstances, we find that complainant's telephone call falls within the ``call-in'' presumption of Section 73.1206, such that notice is not required in this case. We, therefore, conclude that cancellation of the proposed forfeiture is appropriate. III. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 504(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), the monetary forfeiture issued against Entercom New Orleans License, LLC IS HEREBY CANCELLED.

- closest FM radio station operating on that frequency was 70 miles away and thus it believed that that station was beyond the range of possible interference. Finally, California Speedway argues that it has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's rules. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.

- the equipment has been installed and the EAS is working. Finally, Faith Mountain requests cancellation of the forfeiture because of its inability to pay, and provides certain financial information in support of its request. III. DISCUSSION 5.

- that it is ``financially struggling'' and requests reconsideration of the proposed forfeiture amount. In addition, Beacon states that it has discharged the former general manager, and that it is attempting to comply with all FCC rules. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'') Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- of its purported inability to pay that amount and provides as supporting documentation its tax returns for the most recent three-year period along with audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. III. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- public MPE limits. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Americom willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.1310 of the Rules by exceeding the RFR MPE limits for the general public and failing to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not specify a maximum base forfeiture for violation of the RFR MPE limits described in Section 1.1310. However, the Commission recently determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, noting the public safety nature of the rules. In assessing the

- contends that imposition of all or part of the forfeiture would cause a severe financial hardship. In support of this contention, Rev. Dr. Nicolas submits federal income tax returns for tax years 1998, 1999, and 2000. After reviewing the financial documentation presented, in accord with the discretion provided to us by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that reduction of the $10,000 forfeiture to $1,000 is warranted in this case. We have reviewed Rev. Dr. Nicolas's remaining arguments and conclude that they do not support further mitigation or cancellation of the forfeiture. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, Rev.

- reduction of the $3,200 forfeiture proposed in the NAL for this violation. However, Truth argues that the $5,600 forfeiture proposed for failure to comply with AM fencing requirements should be substantially reduced, if not eliminated entirely. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- the Norfolk Office, a local police officer observed the WAAA tower at about 1:00 a.m. on October 17, 2002. The police officer reported to the Norfolk Office that the WAAA tower still had no obstruction lighting.

Additionally, McCreary stated that he would like to resolve the monetary forfeiture and offered to let the Commission take possession of his radio apparatus in lieu of payment of the forfeiture. III.

- factors exist beyond those already considered in the NAL for further reducing the amount of the forfeiture. Based on the totality of the information before us, we conclude that a forfeiture in the total amount of $5,500 is appropriate. Ordering clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80, that Northeast Utilities IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of five thousand, five hundred dollars ($5,500) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 C.F.R. 1.17.

- forfeiture based on the information before us. Mr. Bushman filed a petition for reconsideration on September 3, 2002. We have reviewed the additional facts set forth in Mr. Bushman's petition and conclude that, under principles of equity and fairness, rescission of the $7,000 forfeiture is warranted. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, the $7,000 forfeiture issued to Mr. Sam Bushman IS RESCINDED, and that pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Mr. Bushman's petition for reconsideration IS GRANTED.

- being the licensee of Station WJFD(FM). While this does not excuse a violation, this factor is mitigating when we determine an appropriate forfeiture amount. 15. Thus, we find that on four different dates Edmund Dinis apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective

- Sarmiento.'' Finally, Mr. Sarmiento asserts that mitigation of the forfeiture is warranted because he has been forthcoming by having initiated written contact with the FCC, has applied for an LPFM license, and has demonstrated a respect for local, state and federal laws. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

However, Alpha asserts that it cannot afford to pay the proposed $10,000 forfeiture and submits tax returns for 1998, 1999 and 2000 and a balance sheet for 2001 in support of this assertion.

- We noted in the Forfeiture Order that Mr. Brothers had not filed a response to the NAL, and affirmed the Forfeiture Order based on the information before us. On July 3, 2002, Mr. Brothers filed what he styled as a ``response'' to the NAL, which we are treating as a petition for reconsideration of our Forfeiture Order pursuant to Sections 1.80(i) and 1.106 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). 3. In his petition for reconsideration, Mr. Brothers does not dispute that he willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act. However, he asks that we cancel the $10,000 forfeiture because of, among other things, his inability to pay. The financial documentation that he provides demonstrates his inability to pay and leads

- violated Section 73.1745 of the Commission's rules by operating WRDQ-DT without prior Commission approval or authority.

These guidelines provide for a forfeiture of $10,000 as the base amount for the construction and/or operation of a broadcast station without an instrument of authorization. In this case, we believe that this amount

Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's Rules each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. We find that the lack of a response to a Bureau LOI in the circumstances presented here warrants a substantial increase to this base amount.

REVIEW OF RELEVANT RULES The Commission identified the following rule parts containing regulations administered by the Enforcement Bureau for review and comment in the Public Notice: Part 1 - Practice and Procedure - Sections 1.711 to 1.736 set forth rules for the filing of formal complaints against common carriers. Section 1.80 addresses forfeiture penalties applicable to common carriers [and others]. These rules are not competition-related, and thus we cannot find that they are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition.'' Accordingly, we find that these rules should be retained. Rules 1.711 through 1.736 set forth the procedures for formal complaint proceedings against common carriers.

- that it cooperated with the Commission, and ``sought on it own initiative'' to comply with the equipment authorization requirements. Additionally, B.E.A. claims an inability to pay the proposed forfeiture, and a record of overall compliance with the Commission's equipment requirements. III. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.

- INTRODUCTION 1. The Commission has before it the captioned application of WBCE, Inc. (the ``Licensee'') for renewal of its license for Station WBCE(AM), Wickliffe, Kentucky (the ``Station''). In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') issued pursuant to Sections 309(k) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), by the Chief, Media Bureau by authority delegated under Section 0.283 of the Rules, we find that the Licensee apparently willfully violated Section 73.3539 of the Rules by failing to timely file a license renewal application for the Station, and willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act, by engaging in unauthorized operation

- at one point in time had a license for 856.3625 MHz at another site in the same Las Vegas market; that the operation at the unauthorized location caused no known interference; and because of ESP's history of FCC rule compliance. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- amended (``the Act''), provides that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply substantially with the terms and conditions of any license, or willfully fails to comply with any provisions of the Act or of any rule, regulation or order issued by the Commission thereunder, shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for construction and/or operation without an instrument of authorization for the service. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must also consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree

- map, ``Public and Broadcasting'' manual (``manual'') and certain issues/programs lists. On April 18, 2003, the Field Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), proposing a $4,000 forfeiture against Lebanon for its apparent willful violation of Section 73.3527(c)(1) of the Rules. The proposed forfeiture amount was downwardly adjusted from the $10,000 base forfeiture amount set forth in Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules because the ``public inspection file contained a portion of the required items.'' In a May 9, 2003, response to the NAL (``Response''), Lebanon sought cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. Lebanon claimed that the contour map and manual were in the public inspection file but not shown to the agent, because the station employee who was present throughout

- FCC certification. As previously noted, on January 18, 2006, OleumTech obtained an equipment authorization from the Commission. In the instant case, we find that OleumTech apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules by marketing an intentional radiator device prior to obtaining Commission equipment authorization. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act.

In its LOI Response, Gaston College requests that if the Bureau determines that a violation occurred, it impose an admonishment rather than a forfeiture. In support of this request, Gaston College cites Tabback Broadcasting and American Family Association, each an admonishment against a radio station

Third, Greenwood asserts that the assessed $7,000 forfeiture amount ``equates this situation with a circumstance in which there is no fence at all. . . .'' Neither the tower fencing rule set forth in Section 73.49 of the Rules, nor the forfeiture amount set forth in Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules distinguishes between an antenna structure that is enclosed within an ineffective locked fence, and one that has no fence at all.

Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- that were previously considered and rejected will be denied. Farmworkers raises four arguments in its Petition, which we address in turn. In its first argument, Farmworkers alleges that the Western Region erred in assessing the ``maximum forfeiture'' of $8,000 for what was ``clearly a mistake.'' Farmworkers argues that the Forfeiture Order cites to its logging violations and states that Section 1.80 of the Rules requires only a $1,000 forfeiture amount for logging violations. We disagree. Section 1.80 of the Rules lists $8,000 as the base, and not the maximum, forfeiture for ``EAS equipment not installed or operational.'' As the Western Region determined in the Forfeiture Order, Farmworkers failed to produce ``evidence to refute the San Diego Office's finding that no audio

- Entercom apparently violated Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. Entercom attributes these violations to employee error. Inadvertence or employee oversight does not excuse Entercom from liability for its failure to follow Commission rules. Licensees are responsible for the actions of their employees. 8. The statutory maximum forfeiture for Entercom's apparent willful violation of Section 73.1216 is $32,500. Pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, the base forfeiture amount for a violation of the contest rule is $4,000. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to the violator, the degree

After considering the record, the factors contained in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(D), and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we believe that a $4,000 forfeiture is appropriate in this case.

- Licensee claims that imposing a forfeiture against licensees that voluntarily disclose their Rule violations is contrary to public interest because it will discourage licensees from ``com[ing] clean'' with the Commission. Licensee asserts these reasons warrant a cancellation of the assessed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement.

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Cardinal's conduct has continued over a period that began during March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Cardinal's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture for violation of Section 9.5(b) of the Rules. The Commission has, nevertheless, found that the ``omission of a specific rule violation from the list ...

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cardinal, the statutory maximum is $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. The Commission has imposed the statutory maximum penalty against common carriers for the intentional provision of incorrect material factual information. Because

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Microboards' conduct has continued over a period that began on March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Microboards' apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000.

Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for marketing unauthorized equipment. In this case, Leetek marketed two models of unauthorized pager transmitter systems. Leetek's marketing of each of these unauthorized models is a separate, continuing violation.

Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. As set forth in the confidential Appendix, DCS apparently marketed PDTs that were not labeled in accordance with Sections 2.909(d) and 15.19(a)(3) of the Rules.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. However, the Commission has substantial discretion in proposing forfeitures and has stressed that digital signal reception capability is of critical importance to a successful digital transition for the nation.

Thus, while we may consider the fact that XLNT Idea's conduct has continued over a period that began in August 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to XLNT Idea's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. As noted above, XLNT Idea marketed three devices prior to authorization: the Nexis 100AP AutoPrinter, the Nexis 100AP Publisher, and the Xi440 CD/DVD Printer. We note, however, that the Nexis 100AP AutoPrinter and the Nexis 100AP Publisher are identical except that the Nexis

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information.

- section 310(d) of the Act and section 25.119 of the Commission's rules. The fundamental issue in this case is whether FTH violated section 310(d) of the Act and Section 25.119 of the Commission rules by transferring 35 satellite earth station licenses without required Commission approval. We answer this question affirmatively. Based on a preponderance of the evidence, and under Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we therefore conclude that FTH is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $17,500. FTH admits that it failed to apply for Commission approval to transfer control of the satellite earth station licenses. In connection with the stock recapitalization, FTH applied for Commission approval to transfer FTH television broadcast licenses. Notwithstanding FTH's arguments, the Commission did not

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that Courier Communications Corp. (``Courier'' or the ``Licensee''), Licensee of Station WNOV(AM), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (the ``Station''), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting a telephone conversation without first informing the other party to the conversation of its intention to do so.

Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Rama Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $25,000 for violations of Sections 17.50, 73.49, 73.1745(a) and 73.3526 of the Rules. 4.

- appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Multi-Tech's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2006 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Multi-Tech's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Under the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Multi-Tech apparently marketed the CallFinder device without including in the user manual the consumer information regarding radio frequency interference required by Section 15.105(a) of the Rules. We note that a $7,000 forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Sennheiser's conduct commenced more than one year ago, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Sennheiser's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. At the time of Sennheiser's apparent violation, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorized the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.

We conclude under this standard that Corr is apparently liable for forfeiture for its apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 1.903(a) of the Rules.

- ``chilling effect on [its] ability to continue full-time operations.'' Finally, Licensee asserts that a forfeiture reduction is warranted because of its history of compliance with the Commission's Rules. Licensee asserts these reasons warrant a cancellation or reduction of the assessed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

In its Request, Peak asserts that payment of the proposed forfeiture will cause it financial hardship, and asks for a cancellation or substantial reduction of the proposed forfeiture. Discussion. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture guidelines lend some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of the Act.

In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') issued pursuant to Sections 309(k) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Sections 0.283 and 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), we find that IJR apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.65 of the Rules, by failing to report changes in relevant information in the Applications. Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances before us, we grant the Petition in part, conclude that IJR is apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the

- Bureau has before it the captioned application of Crawford County Community Radio, Inc. (the ``Licensee''), for renewal of its license for Station DDWBRO(FM), Marengo, Indiana (the ``Station''). In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') issued pursuant to Sections 309(k) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), by authority delegated under Section 0.283 of the Rules, we find that the Licensee apparently willfully violated Section 73.3539 of the Rules, by failing to file a timely license renewal application for the Station, and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act, by engaging in unauthorized operation of the Station after

- the main studio does not have any designated personnel. Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we find that J.M.J. Radio apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125(a) of the Rules by failing to maintain a full-time management and staff presence at the Station WQOR main studio during regular business hours. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount is $7,000 for violation of main studio rule. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and

- The violation also occurred on more than one day, and was therefore repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Coss apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1745(a) of the Rules by failing to operate Station KCKX(AM) in accordance with the station's authorized power as specified on its license. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000 per violation. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any

Mr. de Almeida submitted a response to the Second NAL requesting cancellation of the forfeiture based on his claim that he did not operate a radio transmitter on an unlicensed basis and his inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. de Almeida's responses, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice

- Furthermore, licensees have the affirmative obligation to prevent misleading announcements respecting the contests that they conduct. They cannot rely on implications to accomplish that result. We therefore find that Good Karma violated Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules by failing to fully and accurately disclose the material terms of the Contest. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the rules, the base forfeiture for violations of the contest rules is $4,000.

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Dollar apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 1.903(a) of the Rules. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation of a station without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

By operating station WPNZ510 after the license expiration date, BASF apparently violated section 301 of the Act and section 1.903(a) of the Rules. BASF also apparently violated section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application for station WPNZ510. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- foregoing reasons, we find that the Licensee apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1206. The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation. In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''

The LawMate 500 mW 2.4 GHz and 1 W 2.4 GHz transmitters operate on frequencies outside of the authorized amateur radio service bands, including restricted frequencies listed in section 15.205(a). Thus, these devices are not amateur radio devices exempt from the equipment certification requirements. See 47 U.S.C. 401, 501, 503; 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(3). This amount is subject to further adjustment for inflation (see id. 1.80(b)(5)), and the forfeiture amount applicable to any violation will be determined based on the statutory amount designated at the time of the violation.

- the NAL acknowledging that he committed the violation, but denying that he ``used the radio knowing that it was illegal.'' Mr. Lindor also requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture because he asserts that he cannot afford the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Lindor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

- of the Rules. Because the operation occurred on more than one day, we find that the apparent violation was repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Lebron apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- he had ``made the changes [he] had to.'' Mr. Hays requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture, however, because he lives solely on social security benefits and asserts that, as a result, he cannot afford to pay the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Hays's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

As we explain below, having considered the statutory factors, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a radio station without Commission authority. Based on the record in this proceeding, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000 for Scottsdale Lexus's unauthorized operations. We note that the base forfeiture amount is subject to adjustment, either upward or downward. Here, however, we find no basis for any

In examining Perka's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Andrews Tower's response, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

Therefore, based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Perry apparently willfully violated section 301 of the Act and section 95.411 of the Rules by operating an unlicensed radio transmitter with two amplifiers. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

In its Petition, the College reiterates its argument that its failure to timely file a renewal application for the Station was not willful. The College also argues that the Bureau's reliance, in part, on the base amount set forth in Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules for failure to file a required form should not apply to instances of late filings, and therefore, the forfeiture amount should be either set aside or substantially reduced. Finally, the College argues that public interest considerations warrant either a reduction or elimination of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 5.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cricket, the base forfeiture is $150,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation.

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that RAMCO apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 17.57 of the Rules by failing to notify the Commission of a change in structure ownership from January 2, 2010 until January 12, 2011. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for: (1) failing to comply with prescribed lighting and/or marking is $10,000; and (2) failing to file required forms or information is $3,000.

The legislative history to Section 312(f)(1) of the Act clarifies that this definition of willful applies to both Sections 312 and 503(b) of the Act, and the Commission has so interpreted the term in the Section 503(b) context. 9. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file a required form.

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for violation of Section 73.3526. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we may adjust the base amount upward or downward by considering the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of

- effective fencing around their antenna. We reject the statement of Reier Broadcasting Company, Inc., that the fencing was substantial. The rules clearly state that the antenna must be enclosed and a visual inspection indicated that a major portion of the fence was lying on the ground. The Commission assesses monetary forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, which both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew the requirement of the Commission's rule, but did not take corrective action

- responded on February 27, 2001. In the reply, CommuniComm identifies the specific actions taken to correct the violations noted in the NOV and to preclude their recurrence, as well as, a time line for completion of such actions. The Commission assesses monetary forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'') as implemented in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules. A forfeiture may be assessed against a person who the Commission finds to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Commission's Rules. ``Willful'' in this context means that the person knew that he was doing the act in question, regardless of intent to violate the provision. ``Repeated'' means
- http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-238275A1.doc http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-238275A1.pdf
- ``willfull'' as used in Section 503(b) has been interpreted to mean simply that the acts or omissions are committed knowingly. It is not pertinent whether or not the licensee's act or omissions are intended to violate the law. Forfeitures assessed pursuant to Section 503(b)(2) of the Act are determined in accordance with the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement). 7.

- to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. The amount of forfeiture penalty should take into consideration the severity of the instant violation, in addition to the status and prior offenses of the violator. The base forfeiture amount for violation of public file rules is $10,000, in accordance with The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In view of the fact that HCTV was previously issued an Official Notice of Violation on November 29, 2000 for violation of Section 73.3527(c)(1) of the Rules, we see no reason to mitigate the base forfeiture amount.

- on February 25, 2002 at 8:45 p.m., did not have a license for the Marine Coast station at the Beach Motel, 202 Arnold Avenue, Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. III. Discussion Based on the evidence before us, we find that Amethyst has willfully violated Section 301 of the Act, as amended. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087, 17113 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303(1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), sets the base forfeiture amount at ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the operation of an unlicensed station. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of

- position on the antenna structure. On November 7, 2001 and November 8, 2001, the top-level red obstruction lighting on antenna structure 1213201 was extinguished. Beacon failed to notify the FAA that the top-level obstruction lighting was extinguished. The Commission assesses monetary forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (the ``Act'') as implemented in Section 1.80 of the Rules. A forfeiture may be assessed against a person who the Commission finds to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Beacon apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 17.4(g), Section 17.48(a) and Section 17.50 of the Rules. Forfeiture amounts are

Based upon the evidence before us, we find that VoiceStream willfully and repeatedly violated section 17.4(g) by failing to post the ASR number near the base of the antenna structure. 6. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the ASR number. The Commission has determined, however, that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for failure to post the ASR number is two thousand dollars ($2,000) per violation. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take

Thus, we find that Entravision also apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.1310 of the Rules by producing power density levels in excess of its occupational limit and failing to warn adequately workers of the RFR hazard. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310. However, the Commission has determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, reflecting the public safety nature of the rules. In assessing the

Based on the evidence before us, we find that the Cumulus apparently willfully violated Section 1.1310 of the Rules on June 5, 2003, by exposing the tower climber to levels of RFR exceeding the occupational/controlled MPE limit permitted by the Commission. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310.

- is 304 feet and therefore Conneaut was required to register the tower with the Commission. The tower remained unregistered until November 18, 2005. Accordingly, we find that Conneaut apparently willfully and repeatedly violated the Rules by failing to register its antenna structure, as required by Section 17.4(a) of the Rules. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information is set at three thousand dollars ($3,000). In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, which

- during the course of an inspection and investigation, authorized by the Act and the Rules, There is no base forfeiture amount for refusing to conduct a requested test during an inspection. We conclude, however, that this violation is similar to a violation that involves failing to permit inspection, which, pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, carries a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for each such violation. Failure to perform tests requested during an inspection effectively negates the value of the inspection, because it prevents the agents from obtaining necessary information from the inspection. In assessing the monetary forfeiture

Based on the evidence before us, we find that T-Mobile apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating microwave radio stations without authorization. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization for the service is $10,000.

- and, consequently, numerous RMTs and RWTs were not received or transmitted. Therefore, One Mart's violation is repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that One Mart apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 11.35 of the Rules, by failing to ensure the operational readiness of the EAS equipment at KEVT. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules sets forth the base forfeiture amounts for various violations of the Commission's Rules. The base forfeiture for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in

Based on the information before us, we find that TPN willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1745(a) of the Rules by operating at times inconsistent with the terms of its station authorization. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to file required forms or information is $3,000 and for operating at times or with modes or powers other than those specified and made part of the license is $4000.

However, the Commission has determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, reflecting the public safety nature of the rules. The base forfeiture

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Hensley Broadcasting apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3526(e)(12) of the Rules by failing to maintain an issues/programs list in the station's public inspection file for any quarter during 2006. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. Because WWII's public file was mostly complete and missing only one item, we conclude a reduction in the base forfeiture amount for the public file violation to $4,000 is appropriate.

- was willful. The violation occurred on more than one day, therefore, it is repeated. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Clouden apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating an FM radio transmitter without a license on 101.3 MHz in Boston, MA. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

We find that Mr. Rodriguez is responsible for the unlicensed station operation on 90.5 MHz at 276 Ellison Street, Paterson, NJ 07501 and that his actions amounted to willful and repeated violations of Section 301 of the Act. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to comply with prescribed lighting and marking is $10,000. Section 1.80 of the Rules does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post an ASR number. The Commission has determined, however, that an appropriate base

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000 and the base amount for operating an unlicensed station is $10,000.

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of public inspection file rules is $10,000. Because the public inspection file for station KWOF-FM contained a portion of the required items a downward adjustment of the base amount to $4,000 is warranted. In assessing the monetary

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for transmitting false distress communications is $8,000.

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rules is ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Kissi apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment on 96.5 MHz in Bronx, NY on February 28 and March 1, 2008, without a Commission authorization. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we find that Chladek apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3526(e)(12) of the Rules by failing to maintain radio issues/programs lists in the public inspection file. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. Because Chladek's public file was mostly complete, we conclude a reduction in the base forfeiture amount for the public file violation to $4,000 is appropriate. In assessing the monetary forfeiture

- Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Aulabaugh apparently willfully violated Section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to make available a complete public inspection file, and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain a complete public inspection file. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain quarterly issues/programs lists in the Public File is $10,000. Because the public inspection files for stations KSEY and KSEY-FM contained a portion of the required items a downward adjustment of the base amount to $4,000

- workers who were not fully aware of the potential for exposure, and by failing to adequately take measures to prevent access to an area that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. We note that if Visionary had been operating at its full authorized power, the RFR levels would be significantly higher. 13. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310. However, the Commission has determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, reflecting the public safety nature of the RFR rules. In assessing

This Erratum amends the NALF as indicated below: 1. Paragraph 8 is corrected to read as follows: The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules do not establish base forfeiture amounts for specific EEO rule violations, such as a failure to recruit widely for vacancies or to self-assess EEO performance. However, they do establish a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for violation of the Commissions public file rules and of $3,000 for failure to file required information.

Accordingly, ENSERCH's argument that the NAL violated the statute of limitations is rejected. ENSERCH also argues that the forfeiture exceeds the $82,500 maximum forfeiture for any single action or failure to act. See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(C), 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(5)(iii). We reject that argument because each station that ENSERCH transferred without Commission approval constitutes a separate violation of the Act and the Commission's rules.

- Liberty argues that the Commission disregarded its own procedures and guidelines when it imposed a forfeiture of $1,425,000 for Liberty's unlicensed operations. The Commission did not consider mitigation evidence, Liberty asserts, and improperly assessed the maximum forfeiture allowable by the statute without reference to the base forfeiture amount and the upward and downward adjustment factors specified in 47 C.F.R. 1.80. Moreover, Liberty contends, a maximum forfeiture is not warranted in this case because no public harm resulted from its infractions. Liberty argues that this issue too should be remanded for development of a fuller record. Lastly, Liberty submits that the Commission's denial of the subject applications together with imposition of a maximum forfeiture is an excessive and virtually unprecedented sanction,

Specifically, the competitive LEC missed appointment rates for February through June 2001 were 14.29 percent, 15.79 percent, 9.38 percent, 21.05 percent, and 3.57 percent respectively.

Indeed, Section 223 requires agencies to provide for the reduction, and under appropriate circumstances for the waiver, of civil penalties for violations of a statutory or regulatory requirement by a small entity. Under appropriate circumstances, an agency may consider ability to pay in determining penalty assessments on small entities. In amending Section 1.80 of its rules in 1997 to incorporate guidelines for assessing forfeitures, the Commission also made clear that its forfeiture policies are consistent with this approach.

R. 1.80, that US Notary, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount $90,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) and 64.1200(f)(5) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), and the related orders.

Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture of $3,000 for violations of section 1.65. The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase in this base amount under certain upward adjustment criteria contained in the Rules and the Forfeiture Policy Statement: the egregiousness of the misconduct and SBC's ability to

This amount was determined after consideration of the factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2) of the Communications Act, taking into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violations. The base forfeiture amount for unauthorized transfer of control as set forth in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules is $8,000 which may be adjusted upward in the case of repeated or continuous violations. We find that the violations in this case were repeated in that they occurred with respect to the five Sullivan III stations that initially Glencairn was seeking to acquire. In addition, each day of an unauthorized transfer constitutes a separate offense.

- require the Commission to duplicate administrative or other proceedings required by contract or other laws or regulations, nor do these regulations supercede procedures permitted or required by other statutes or regulations. In particular, the assessment and collection of monetary forfeitures imposed by the Commission will be governed initially by the procedures prescribed by 47 U.S.C. 503, 504 and 47 CFR 1.80. After compliance with those procedures, the Commission may determine that the collection of a monetary forfeiture under the collection alternatives prescribed by this subpart is appropriate but need not duplicate administrative or other proceedings. Fees and penalties prescribed by law, e.g., 47 U.S.C. 158 and 159, and promulgated under the authority of 47 U.S.C. 309(j) (e.g., 47 CFR Part 1,

- January 19, 2001, the Commission released the referenced NAL against Callais in the amount of $133,000. Callais filed its response to the NAL on March 5, 2001, requesting cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. Discussion 12. The Commission assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- a consumer-grade portable receiver to tune into the station does not meet the transmission system monitoring and control requirements of Section 73.1400. Based on the evidence, we further find that A-O apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1400 of the Rules by failing to have adequate transmission system monitoring and control. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits for transmitting tower antennas in Section 1.1310.

Also, pursuant to Section 1.80(g) of the Commission's rules, this Order constitutes notice of opportunity for hearing to determine whether, in addition to or as an alternative to license revocation and/or cease and desist order, monetary forfeitures should be imposed against RMI for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules.

Accordingly, we find that the proposed $140,000 forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Peninsula Communications, Inc.

Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("the Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules ("the Rules"), the Enforcement Bureau found KASA Radio liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $15,000 for willful violation of the following sections of the Rules: 73.54(d) (failure to provide a copy of the station's antenna resistance and reactance measurements during an inspection); 73.1350(c)(1) (failure to have the proper monitoring equipment installed at the

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules already provides adequate authority for the Commission to impose forfeiture penalties upon failure to comply with a rule or a license condition.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount for the operation at an unauthorized location or frequency of $4,000.

I. INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that Young Broadcasting of San Francisco, Inc.

DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.

- due to financial hardship. What has been the effect of such waivers? Enforcement. The Commission has been aggressively enforcing the Commission's EAS rules. In 2003, for example, the Enforcement Bureau took approximately 80 EAS enforcement actions. Nonetheless, some broadcasters have failed to install or properly maintain EAS equipment. The base forfeiture amount set in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the rules for an EAS violation is $8,000. We seek comment on whether we should increase the base amount or otherwise impose higher forfeitures in this area, and on whether there are additional ways to better ensure compliance. We also seek comment on whether we should seek legislation from Congress to increase the maximum forfeitures in this area from

See id.; 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2); note to 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). Under section 503(b) of the Act, each prohibited broadcast is deemed to constitute a separate offense.

We have examined A-O's petition for reconsideration pursuant to the statutory factors prescribed by Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, and in conjunction with the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, as well. As a result of our review, we again conclude that A-O willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 1.1310, 11.35, 73.1125, and 73.1400 of the Rules and that the appropriate forfeiture amount is $25,000.

The NAL proposed a monetary forfeiture penalty of Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) based upon KNDD(FM)'s broadcast of apparently indecent material on two separate occasions. On February 27, 2002, Entercom filed a response to the Bureau's NAL in accordance with Section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's rules. Entercom contended that there is a clear absence of any sexual or excretory context or import in the complained-of material because there is no discussion about the sexual or excretory functions of the male genitalia.

INTRODUCTION In this Forfeiture Order (``Order''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we impose a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $550,000 against CBS Corporation (``CBS''), as the licensee or the ultimate parent company of the licensees of the television stations listed in the Appendix (``CBS Stations'').

- provisions of the Act and Rules and from considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Therefore, the forfeiture amount proposed herein takes into account the continuing nature San Jose's apparent violations, but relates to the company's marketing of Models RA-45, RA-46, RK-104 and RK-304 within the last year. Section 1.80 of the Rules establishes a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the marketing of unauthorized equipment. Section 503(b)(2)(C) of the Act, however, authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.

ACR also notes that it ``has had a long history of compliance with Commission rules,'' and further contends that the ``quantum'' of the proposed forfeiture was unreasonable. discussion The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,

ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that Globcom, Inc. SHALL FORFEIT to the United States government the sum of $715,031 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Act and the Commission's rules.

- does not ask that any forfeiture be applied in this case. SFUSD admits that under usual circumstances a $10,000 base forfeiture would be imposed for violation of the PIF rule. But SFUSD asserts that its current deficit condition demonstrates an inability to pay even the base amount. SFUSD has not persuaded of its inability to pay a reasonable forfeiture. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules establishes a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for public file violations. The evidence presented by SFUSD on its financial condition does not prove an absolute inability to pay any forfeiture. Considering the record as a whole, a $10,000 forfeiture is appropriate for SFUSD's erroneous ``Yes'' certification in connection with maintaining a deficient PIF. CONCLUSION The Enforcement

- included 28 models of its devices as non-compliant and that the forfeiture proposed in the NAL is excessive. Behringer also claims that it has implemented affirmative measures to ensure compliance with the FCC equipment authorization and related requirements. III. DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture set forth in the NAL was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the guidelines enunciated in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeiture liability, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs the Commission to take into account the violator's degree of culpability, history of prior offenses and ability to pay; the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and such other matters as justice may require.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for the violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand.

Further, the Commission allows a maximum forfeiture of $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, except that the amount assessed shall not exceed $1,325,000 for any single continuous violation. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Proposed Forfeiture Amount Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

San Jose claims that its violations were not intentional, that its corrective measures demonstrate good faith, and that its payment of the forfeiture would cause economic hardship. III. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, the Commission is required to take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s); the violator's degree of culpability, history or prior offenses and ability to pay; and such other matters as justice may require. We have considered San Jose's claims in light of

In this regard, where lapses occur in maintaining the public file, neither the negligent acts or omissions of station employees or agents, nor the subsequent remedial actions undertaken by the licensee, excuse or nullify a licensee's rule violation. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Hawking's conduct has continued over a period that began in July 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Hawking's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to

Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Ramko apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules by selling or offering for sale 17 models of radio transceivers which, by their nature, are ineligible for equipment certification. Proposed Forfeiture Amount Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Ramko's violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules were willful and repeated. Section 1.80(b)(4) of

- concedes that the Commission may deviate from the guidelines in accordance with the criteria set forth in section 503(b)(2)(D). In any event, the Commission's established methodologies for determining the amount of the forfeiture for the particular violations at issue here do take into account the base forfeiture amounts, as well as the upward and downward adjustment criteria, specified in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. The Commission followed this methodology exactly in the InPhonic NAL. Next, with respect to section 503(b)(2)(D), InPhonic is wrong that we did not comply with the Act because the forfeiture was not sufficiently tied to InPhonic in particular. For example, with respect to the registration violation, InPhonic states that instead of ``a particularized Section 503(b)(2)(D) analysis,

- the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $50,000 to Hawking. Although Hawking received a copy of the NAL, it has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Hawking Technologies, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $50,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Sections 2.803(a) and 15.204(d) of the Rules. 4.

- forfeiture amount of $10,000 for failure to make required regulatory fee payments. Therefore, we find Omniat is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $40,000 for its willful and repeated failure to make regulatory fee payments from 2005 to 2008. Finally, we find that Omniat has repeatedly and willfully failed to provide a timely and complete response to the LOI. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. We find that Omniat's total failure to respond to the LOI warrants a substantial increase to this base amount. Misconduct of this type exhibits a

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. The DTV tuner requirement promotes the important

We also propose to employ the balancing factors we typically use to inform the amount of a forfeiture, which are set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Communications Act and section 1.80(b)(4)

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules.

Pursuant to Section 503(b)(5)(E) of the Act, the Bureau took into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

We note that these monetary penalties, to the extent that the violator is a non-regulatee, exceed the existing statutory base and maximum fines for non-regulatees under section 503(b)(2)(C) of the Communications Act and section 1.80 of our rules. Because these monetary penalties are amounts prescribed by statute, the Commission does not have discretion to amend the base forfeiture amounts. Therefore, we propose to amend section 1.80 of the Commission's rules governing forfeiture proceedings and forfeiture amounts to incorporate these new enforcement provisions specifically for the purposes of implementing section 6507 of the Tax Relief Act.

III. DISCUSSION 8. As the NAL explicitly states, the San Juan Office assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- the amount to $14,000. 2. Arnold's Petition for Reconsideration ("Petition"), requests that the Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') specify the amounts assessed for each violation and state whether we arrived at the forfeiture amount by using any upward or downward adjustments. In this regard, Arnold argues that the forfeiture amount is excessive and should, at most, be $11,000 in accordance with Section 1.80 of the Rules. We calculated the forfeiture against Arnold as follows: $8,000 base amount for the ( 11.35 violation adjusted upward by $2,000 ($10,000); $3,000 base amount for the ( 73.1350 violations adjusted upward by $1,000 ($4,000); $1,000 base amount for the ( 73.1820 violation; and $1,000 for the ( 73.1870 violation.

- III. DISCUSSION Based on the evidence before us, we find that Telecorp Communications, Inc. apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 17.51 of the Commission's Rules by its failure to comply with the required lighting of antenna structures and by failing to notify FAA flight service stations of the outages. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), the base forfeiture amount for lighting and marking violations is $10,000. Applying this base amount to each of Telecorp's lighting violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $40,000. Telecorp violated the most serious of the Commission's antenna structure rules. As the Commission stated in its ATC decision, ``[u]nlit

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), the base amount is $3,000 for each of SpectraSite's three failures to file required forms or information (i.e., failure to file ownership change information). The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined

- the Act by a common carrier. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined that an appropriate base amount is $2,000 per violation. Application of that base amount to each of AT&T Wireless' violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $18,000. We

- Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $16,800 on WLDI, Inc. (``WLDI''), licensee of Station WCOM(FM), Bayamon, Puerto Rico, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). BACKGROUND On October 1, 1999, Chancellor Media Corporation, owner of WLDI, filed with the Commission an application to transfer control of WLDI to the Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico (``SBS''). WCOM(FM) broadcast the allegedly indecent material that is the subject of this order on October 18, 19 and 20, 1999. Just over one week later, on October 29, 1999,

- see no basis for finding otherwise in this case. In addition, although The KBOO Foundation has submitted a petition signed by listeners who support the ``Soundbox,'' we have previously ruled that neither the statute nor our case law permits a broadcaster to air indecent material merely because it is popular. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of 47 U.S.C. 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Commission's rules.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, SBC Communications SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of ninety-four thousand, five hundred dollars ($94,500.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's rule requiring ILECs promptly to post notice of premises that have run out of collocation space. 21.

- and repeated. Citadel does not dispute that the song was played repeatedly throughout the spring and summer months of 2000. Although Citadel contends that it attempted to render the song suitable for broadcast through editing, we believe that the licensee failed to purge a number of indecent references. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Taking these facts into consideration and all of the factors required by Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we conclude that a forfeiture of $5,000 is warranted. IV.

In addition, Mr. Chan has submitted financial data demonstrating that he is unable to pay the proposed forfeiture. Accordingly, we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $7,500 forfeiture is warranted. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) proposed in the March 10, 1999 NAL issued to Kornwell Chan IS CANCELLED.

III. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the Atlanta Office assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- WBOT that are separate and distinct from the violations in this case. Consequently, Radio One does not have an overall history of compliance with the Commission's Rules, and a reduction of the forfeiture on this basis is not warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 13. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Radio One Licenses, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of twenty-one thousand five hundred dollars ($21,500) for violating Sections 11.35(a), 73.1125(e), 73.1350(c)(1), 73.1800(a), and 73.3526(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules. 14.

- and enter the site. Hancock also indicates that both violations have been corrected. Finally, Hancock seeks reduction of the forfeiture amount, arguing that payment of the forfeiture would result in a financial hardship for the station. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

The Enforcement Bureau assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, the Petition for Reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order in this proceeding IS hereby DENIED. 6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, KASA Radio Hogar, Inc. shall pay the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for the above-stated violations within 30 days of the release date of this Order. Payment may be made by check or money order, drawn on a U.S. financial institution, payable to the Federal Communications Commission. The remittance should be marked ``NAL/Acct.

Finally, Rego has submitted the first page of its federal tax return for 2000, presumably to demonstrate that it is unable to pay the proposed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Broadwing also asks that the Commission take into account its past record of compliance with respect to the 197 towers it owned, asserting that the Commission has never assessed a forfeiture against Broadwing in connection with its operation of these towers. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Thus, SpectraSite is responsible for the acts and omissions of its monitoring service. Finally, although SpectraSite took expedient measures to correct the violation, its remedial actions, while commendable, are not a mitigating factor.7 IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,9 SpectraSite Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for violating Section 17.51(a) of the Rules by failing to exhibit red obstruction lighting from sunset to sunrise on April 5, 2001. 6.

- Field Office issued a $25,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture to Willis.2 Willis did not file a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm the assessment of a monetary forfeiture in this matter. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 Willis Broadcasting Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $25,000 for violating Sections 1.89(b), 11.35(a), 17.4(a)(2), and 73.3526(c) of the Rules. 4.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act7 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,8 Star's petition for reconsideration of the April 11, 2001, Forfeiture Order IS DENIED and the Forfeiture Order IS AFFIRMED. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules9 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.10 Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications

- act or failure to act.17 In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 9. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information.19 The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase to this base amount pursuant to upward adjustment criteria contained in the rules and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. Specifically, three factors warrant the

- urge Commission licensees to consider their operational environment in complying with Section 90.403(e) of the Rules. In some circumstances, licensees may find it prudent to install more selective monitoring equipment to ensure that harmful interference to shared frequencies is avoided. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934,4 as amended, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 the captioned NAL issued to Statcom IS CANCELLED. 4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Statcom Communications Corp., 1324 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, New York 1 0302, and to its counsel, Pamela Gaary, Esq., Lukas, Nace, Gutierrez & Sachs, Chartered, 1111 19th Street,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01257.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01257.html
- the Commission stated in the MO&O that applications for renewal received more than 30 days after the expiration of the license may lead to ``more significant fines or forfeitures.'' In this case, Verizon operated without a valid license for over six months after the license expired. 5. The guidelines contained in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087, 17113 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), specify a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation without an instrument of authorization for the service. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires the Commission to consider ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation,

- ceased, the issuance of a forfeiture in this case suggests that carriers must choose between seriously prejudicing the public by shutting down facilities that are not causing any harm, or risk being subjected to a forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,9 Section 1.80 of the Rules,10 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In examining WWC's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012591.html http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012591.pdf
- the staff. Here, there are more violations, but disclosure was voluntary. On balance, we conclude that a proposed forfeiture in the total amount of $20,000 is appropriate for the eight apparent violations involved here. IV. Ordering Clauses 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Northeast Utilities IS APPARENTLY LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $20,000, for apparently willfully and repeatedly violating Section 1.17 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.17. 11.

- that he would discontinue operating the radio station equipment, and has disposed of his equipment. According to Mr. Kramer, the proposed forfeiture amount is unfair in light of the other CB radio operators in the area. III. DISCUSSION 5. As the NAL states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,3 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''),4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012773.html http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012773.pdf
- has long held that remedial action to correct a violation, while commendable, will generally not nullify a forfeiture penalty. See Station KGVL, Inc., 42 FCC 2d 258, 259 (1973). On balance, we find that a $10,000 forfeiture should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,27 and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules,28 M.C. Allen Productions FORFEIT to the United States the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for: violating 47 U.S.C. 301 and 47 C.F.R. 73.1615 and 73.1620, regarding a licensee's operation during modification of facilities and a permittee's commencement of program tests; and for violating 47 C.F.R. 73.1125(e) by failing to maintain a local or toll-free number

- requests that the Commission revise the NAL to reflect the station manager's complete duties and to reflect that all station operations, other than accounts receivable, were not under the direction or oversight of Wilks. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- and the third party failed to notify it of the extinguished beacon. Eure asserts that the violation was not repeated because the FCC agent observed the violation on only one day, June 9, 2001. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Eure's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012831.html http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012831.pdf
- Section 399B of the Act, and Sections 73.503 and 73.3527 of the Commission's rules, respectively, by broadcasting announcements promoting a for-profit entity and for failing to maintain the station's public file. In light of the station's otherwise unblemished prior enforcement record, however, we find that a monetary sanction is not warranted to redress this rule violation. See Note to Section 1.80 (b)(4) of the Commission's rules.7 Instead, we believe that an admonishment is appropriate under the circumstances of this case. IV. Ordering Clauses 17. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Isothermal Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational station WNCW(FM), Spindale, North Carolina, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012862.html http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012862.pdf
- for NEPC to give its full attention to all of its correspondence, including the two NOVs and the NAL issued by the Philadelphia Office on October 20, 2000; December 7, 2000; and March 22, 2001, respectively. The information provided by NEPC adequately explains why it may have been difficult for NEPC to respond to Commission correspondence. Therefore, pursuant to Section 1.80(i) of the Rules,4 we reduce the $7,000 forfeiture amount by the amount of the forfeiture assessed for NEPC's failure to respond to Commission correspondence ($4,000). 5. However, the fact remains that NEPC did fail to register its Forked River, New Jersey, antenna structure and it does not dispute the violation. Moreover, it has provided no basis upon which to reduce

- NAL on August 7, 2001 accompanied by documentation regarding his ability to pay the proposed forfeiture. After reviewing Mr. Pettrey's response, we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $10,000 forfeiture is warranted based on Mr. Pettrey's inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 the forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) proposed in the July 30, 2001 NAL issued to Jeffrey Alan Pettrey IS CANCELLED. 4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall be sent by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Jeffrey Alan Pettrey at 4014 West Main Street, Princeton, West Virginia

- as to the development of EAS. Finally, MAPA appears to seek reduction of the forfeiture amount, on the basis that that payment of the forfeiture would result in a financial hardship for the station. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,6 Ho'ona'auao Community TV, Inc.'s petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order IS DENIED. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules7 within 30 days of the release of this Order.

On September 10, 2001, the Commission's Dallas, Texas, Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 to Merrell.2 Merrell has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 Merrell IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for violating Section 301 and of the Act. 4.

Therefore, we conclude that a reduction of the forfeiture amount to $1,000 is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5.

- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of thirteen thousand dollars ($13,000) to Netcom for the noted violations. Netcom has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Netcom Technologies, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of thirteen thousand dollars ($13,000) for failing to register its Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico antenna structure in willful and repeated violation of Section 17.4(a)(1) of the Rules and for failing to exhibit medium intensity obstruction lighting on its Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico antenna structure in

- were on 161.19 MHz -- not on the frequency assigned to Union Pacific -- and were, thus, unauthorized. 11. We can find no basis for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture and, therefore, affirm the $10,000 forfeiture assessed by the Forfeiture Order. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 12. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the ``Federal

On December 13, 1999, the Wireless Bureau granted the request for waiver of Section 1.949 and the late-filed renewal application. 3. On October 17, 2000, the Chief of the Enforcement Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, issued a Notice of Apparent Liability in the amount of $5,000 to Econopage for operating paging station KNKJ435 without authorization. 4. On November 15, 2000, Econopage filed a response with the Commission in which it requests reduction of the forfeiture amount. Econopage asserts that the forfeiture amount should be reduced because it did submit its renewal application

- and his birth certificate. Although he did not timely file his second set of documents, our review of the documents revealed nothing responsive to the facts alleged in the NAL. Additionally, nothing in the documents persuades us to reduce the $10,000 forfeiture. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), Mr. Rowland IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Act. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules, within 30 days of the release of this Forfeiture Order. If the forfeiture

- a.m. and 10 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on or about October 18, 19, and 20, 1999, WLDI, Inc., violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming on Station WCOM(FM). Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective

- Isotropically Radiated Power (``EIRP'') is 63.4 dBm. Converting the radio station's EIRP of 63.4 dBm to an equivalent ERP results in an ERP of 61.3 dBm, which is greater than the 55 dBm ERP limit set by Section 101.31(b)(1)(vii) of the Rules. 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Califormula IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Act. 8. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules, within 30 days of the release of this Forfeiture Order. If the forfeiture is not paid

Id, 6 FCC Rcd at 4388. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the violations warrant the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay and such other matters as justice my require.''

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined that an appropriate base amount is $2,000 per violation. Application of that base amount to each of VoiceStream's violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $24,000. We find

- statements indicate that it had gross revenues of $237,171.30 in 1997, $190,935.93 in 1998, and $231,332.82 in 1999. The proposed forfeiture amount of $5,000 is not excessive in the context of these revenues. Therefore, we affirm the forfeiture of $5,000. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Joe L. Ford, d/b/a Ford Communications, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $5,000 for willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 22.3 of the Commission's Rules.

- 1999, Checkpoint filed an application for renewal of the authorization for that station and requested a waiver of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules. On April 3, 2000, the Commission granted Checkpoint's waiver request and reinstated its authority to operate Station WPCA811. On December 14, 2000, the Enforcement Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to Checkpoint for operating without a valid license. In its response to the NAL, Checkpoint argues that the one-year statute of limitations in Section 503(b)(6)(B) prohibits the Commission from imposing the proposed forfeiture. In support of its assertion, Checkpoint states that it received Special Temporary

Based on AT&T's response, it is clear that AT&T did not engage in the operation at issue in the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture. 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued to AT&T IS RESCINDED. 3.

- runs from December 1999 (one year before the issuance of the NAL) to March 24, 2000, and that the unauthorized operation of the captioned stations during that period does not warrant a $6,000 forfeiture. II. Discussion 4. As the NAL explicitly states, TPSD assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that El Mundo's ``petition for reconsideration'' filed November 22, 2000, IS GRANTED to the extent that we approve a reduction of the proposed forfeiture amount from $6,000 to $4,000. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, El Mundo Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of Stations WKAQ(AM), San Juan, PR, and WUKQ(AM), Ponce, PR, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00), for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Dr. John G. Pierre IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willful violation of the provisions of Section 301 of the Act.

- states that, following the second false ELT activation, it installed a new ELT. In addition, Oahu Aviation apologized for the false activations and promised to take ``every precaution to prevent any further disruption.'' III. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the Honolulu Office assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- 2, 2001 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $7,000 on Infinity Radio License, Inc. (``Infinity''), licensee of Station WLLD(FM), Holmes Beach, Florida, for a willful violation of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. By Notice of Apparent Liability, DA 00-2724, released December 5, 2000 (``NAL''), we determined that certain material apparently broadcast over WLLD(FM) on September 11, 1999, was indecent. After considering the context, we opined that the language from two discrete excerpts from the live rap and hip hop concert, ``The Last Damn Show,'' contained patently offensive references to
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01540.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01540.html
- which supported the downward adjustments made to the proposed forfeitures. In both instances, the carriers submitted plans to eliminate their universal service debts to USAC and commenced paying down their arrearages prior to issuance of their respective Notices of Apparent Liability. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), North American Telephone Network, LLC is LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 254(d) and 47 C.F.R. 54.706. 10. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in 47 C.F.R. 1.80 within thirty days of the release of this Forfeiture Order.
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01542.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01542.html
- basis for additional notices of apparent liability. If Advanced continues to violate our universal service rules, such violations could result in future NALs proposing substantially greater forfeitures, or could result in issuance of a show cause order to revoke Advanced's operating authority. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Advanced Telecom. Network, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of forty-six thousand seven hundred dollars ($46,700) for violating the Act and the Commission's rules requiring regular contributions for universal service. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 1.80, within thirty days of this NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY, Advanced Telecom.

- necessary to foster compliance or serve as a deterrent.'' Contrary to TeleCorp's assertion, it has not demonstrated any good faith compliance with the lighting rules. Additionally, although it has apparently rectified its outstanding violations, we note that its corrective action will not excuse its past violations. After reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and TeleCorp's response to the NAL, we believe that the $80,000 forfeiture is warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, TeleCorp IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $80,000 for willfully

- the day after its prior permit expired, and December 12, 2000, when it received an STA. Telemundo's apparent violation of Section 325(c) of the Act during this period is aggravated by its history of noncompliance with Section 325(c) between 1993 and 1995. Under these circumstances, we conclude that a monetary forfeiture appears warranted. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, which provides further guidance in establishing appropriate forfeiture amounts, does

- - TV6 transferred control of K06MU to Bear Valley Broadcasting, Inc. prior to having received Commission authorization to do so. Having received nothing to suggest otherwise, we conclude that the unauthorized transfer occurred and that imposition of the forfeiture is warranted. Ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that K.I.D.S. - TV6 FORFEIT to the United States the sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 310(d) and 47 C.F.R. 73.3540(a). Payment of the forfeiture shall be made by mailing a check or money order, payable to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Forfeiture Collection Section, Finance Branch,

- entitled to leniency because it cannot afford to pay a forfeiture. If we deem a forfeiture appropriate on the basis of facts unrelated to Skywave's financial circumstance, Skywave asserts, the Bureau should consider reducing the forfeiture amount. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999)(``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01672.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01672.html
- Act and Section 22.3 of the Rules. We, therefore, can find no basis for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture and affirm the Forfeiture Order. Consistent with a prior statement by the Commission, our forfeiture relates to the period before AA Beep filed its renewal application. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the ``Federal Communications

- in paragraph five above do not serve to reduce the proposed forfeiture in the NAL. In the each of the months at issue, SBC violated the Business Rules in other material respects, and the $8000 proposed forfeiture for each of those months will stand. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, SBC Communications SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of eighty eight thousand dollars ($88,000.00) for willfully or repeatedly violating the Commission's merger conditions in the SBC/Ameritech Merger Order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that payment shall be made in the manner provided for in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules within 30 days of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01682.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01682.html
- a forfeiture is appropriate in this case, and see no basis for departing from the base forfeiture amount. Thus, we propose a forfeiture in the amount of $3,000. This amount is consistent with at least one other case involving a similar transgression. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, PCS Partners, L.P. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Sections 1.2107(c) and 1.2107(f) of the Commission's rules. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that within thirty days of the release of this

- of the Rules requires SpectraSite to immediately notify the Commission of any change in tower ownership. Compliance with this rule obviates the need to send copies of violation notices to any entity other than the tower owner of record. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000) for violating Sections 17.57 and 17.4(g) of the Rules by failing to notify the Commission of changes in tower ownership, failing to post ASR numbers, and in one instance, failing to post the correct ASR number. 6. Payment of the

- have records to support its assertions that its employees posted the ASR numbers in conformance with the Commission's Rules and its corporate compliance plan. 10. After reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that no further reduction of the proposed forfeiture is warranted. In conclusion, after reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, Section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and AT&T Wireless' opposition to the NAL, we believe that a $14,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, AT&T Wireless IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $14,000

III. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Los Angeles' petition for reconsideration IS DENIED. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within thirty (30) days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the specified period, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.

After reviewing T & W Communications's financial documentation, we find that the $6,500 proposed forfeiture is reasonable given its gross receipts or sales of $510,816 (1997), $406,814 (1998), $511,304 (1999), and $370,928 (through September of 2000). IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, T & W Communications IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $6,500 for violating Sections 17.4(a)(2) and 73.49 of the Rules requiring it to register its antenna structure and to enclose that antenna structure with an effective locked fence. 6.

- Field Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) to Christian Broadcasting for the noted violations. Christian Broadcasting has not filed a response. Therefore, we affirm this forfeiture. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Christian Broadcasting Corporation, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for failing to respond to Commission correspondence in willful violation of Section 1.89(b) of the Rules, and for failing to register the antenna structure of radio station WBOK in willful violation of Section 17.4(a) of the Rules.

Moreover, although some of the segments may have been short, this is not a case where there is a fleeting or passing sexual reference. Rather, this episode contains a series of segments with ongoing unmistakable sexual references. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective

- exigent matters has prevented my response until now.'' We conclude that American has not provided evidence of ``unavoidable circumstances'' that would explain its 17 month delay in responding to the NOV. We also reject American's argument that the Commission ``lacks the moral authority'' to impose forfeitures on its regulatees who violate the Rules. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules clearly authorize the Commission to assess forfeiture penalties on regulatees who violate the Act or the Rules. American's assertions concerning the Commission's ``moral authority'' provide no basis for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. Accordingly, we deny its petition for reconsideration. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act, and Section

Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of 47 U.S.C. 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Commission's rules. As explained

Having received nothing to suggest otherwise, we conclude that the unauthorized transfer occurred and that imposition of the forfeiture is warranted. Ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that Citicasters Co. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 310(d) and 47 C.F.R. 73.3540(a).

In its responses to the NOVs, VoiceStream indicated that it had corrected the violations by posting the antenna structures' ASR numbers. III. Discussion 4. As the NAL explicitly states, the Enforcement Bureau assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

After reviewing his financial documentation, we find that the $4,000 forfeiture is reasonable given his gross income and gross sales. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules, within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

However, AA Beep provides no explanation for its change in position. We have reviewed this matter thoroughly and find no basis for rescinding the Forfeiture Order.

We have considered Callcomm's arguments and reviewed the record, and we conclude that the record is insufficient to support a finding that Callcomm operated an unlicensed radio station. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), the monetary forfeiture issued against Callcomm IS RESCINDED, and that pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Callcomm's Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED to the extent indicated herein and IS DENIED in all other aspects. 4.

Rather, Friendship states that it has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and, consequently, requests a waiver of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 7.

- Commission's inspection. Tidewater also submits that there is no probative and acceptable evidence that the violation was repeated apart from the one day that the Navy pilot and the Norfolk Office Resident Agent observed the antenna structure on November, 6, 2001. Finally, Tidewater maintains that imposition of the base amount forfeiture of $10,000 for this type of violation under Section 1.80(b)(4)5 is too high and claims that the Norfolk Office did not consider its good faith or voluntary disclosure, and its history of overall compliance. III. DISCUSSION 7.

IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $21,000 for willfully violating Sections 11.35(a), 17.51, and 73.49 of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules5 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is

- to the World Communications, Inc., supra (where $5,000 forfeiture was originally imposed for numerous noncompliant television underwriting announcements repeated over one-year period).25 This case is more serious, as it involves the broadcast of a larger number of advertisements on many occasions over a lengthy period of time. These factors warrant substantial compounding of the base forfeiture amount. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). However, we do not find any other type of sanction to be necessary or justified at this time. 32. Finally, Lincoln asserts that we should sanction Minority for filing frivolous pleadings that have abused the Commission's processes. We decline to do so. Minority's pleadings filed relative to our underwriting investigation were not unauthorized from a procedural standpoint. See, e.g., 47

- Sycamore also argues that the forfeiture should not be imposed because ``we have corrected all the problems referenced and we have made every attempt to operate in compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations.'' III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Sycamore's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the

Verizon waives any and all rights it may have to seek administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal or stay, or to otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Consent Decree and the Adopting Order, provided the Order adopts the Consent Decree without change, addition, or modification. 18.

In neither response does Madison dispute the violations. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In examining Madison's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,

- the average broadcast listener, we find that the material broadcast on KNDD(FM), in context, is patently offensive.13 This material appears to be actionably indecent because it was broadcast after 6 a.m. and within the period when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience. 12. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

- mitigating Family Life's claim, even if true, that its inability to afford to hire properly trained personnel contributed to its apparent rule violation. Noncommercial licensees are responsible for complying with Section 399B of the Act. See, e.g., Minority Television Project, Inc. (DA 02-1945), ___ FCC Rcd ___ (released August 9, 2002). Consequently, we believe a monetary sanction appears warranted. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules specifies that the base amount for an underwriting rule violation is $2,000. In this case, we believe that no adjustment upward or downward is warranted and that the base forfeiture amount is appropriate. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). IV. Ordering Clauses 8. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a monetary sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, pursuant

Finally, Tarrant argues that the forfeiture should be reduced on the basis of the licensee's history of overall compliance. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')2 Section 1.80 of the Rules,3 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

To the extent, if any, that Groveton seeks to rely on its efforts to correct this violation, we note that remedial action, although commendable, will not nullify a forfeiture penalty.4 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,6 Groveton Broadcasting Group, Inc.

We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received a complaint that KNDD(FM) broadcast indecent material on May 30, 2001 and on June 1, 2001. The complainant described the material broadcast, which, the complainant alleged, concerned whether a penis could be used to lift or pull objects. After reviewing the complaint, we issued a letter of inquiry to Entercom. Entercom submitted a response,

- and lighting. Concilio further requests that we give special consideration to its non-profit status, although it has not submitted any information suggesting that its financial situation would make payment of the forfeiture difficult. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case is being assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining Concilio's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

However, we do not believe a monetary sanction is necessary to redress the instant rule violations, and instead conclude that an admonishment is sufficient at this time. See Note to 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). IV. Ordering Clauses 12. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Calvary Bible College, licensee of noncommercial educational station KLJC(FM), Kansas City, Missouri, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 399b, and Section 73.503 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.503. 13.

- January 8, 2002 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Forfeiture Order, we impose a forfeiture of $14,000 on Emmis FM License Corp. of Chicago (``Emmis''), licensee of Station WKQX(FM), Chicago, Illinois, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received letters dated March 20, 2000, and May 15, 2000, complaining about material aired on Station WKQX(FM) on each of those dates during the ``Mancow Morning Madhouse'' (``Mancow'') program. The March complaint alleged that the station broadcast a conversation between 8:13 a.m. and 8:16 a.m., which the complainant deemed indecent. The May complaint alleged that
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-272A1.html
- although the complainant originated the call, the on-air personality could not reasonably have presumed that the complainant had the awareness required by the rule. Therefore, Entercom's recording of the conversation and subsequent broadcast thereof without sufficient notice violated Section 73.1206 of the rules.2 7. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, without regard to any specific
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-2793A1.html
- to and scammed and that the station was a week away from dismantling when the FCC visited the station the second time. Finally, Mr. Muoz submits that neither he nor his church has the funds to pay the $10,000 forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Mr. Muoz's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 the NAL issued to United States Cellular Corporation IS CANCELLED. 4.

We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received complaints that WKQX(FM) broadcast indecent material on March 6, 2001, March 7, 2001 and May 17, 2001 between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. during the ``Mancow's Morning Madhouse'' (``Mancow'') program. The complainant submitted a tape of each of the Mancow programs containing the allegedly indecent material. After reviewing the complainant's tapes, we issued letters

- station personnel. In addition, Oberlin asserts that payment of the proposed $8,000 forfeiture would impose a financial hardship on it and submits financial information for 1999, 2000 and 2001 in support of this assertion. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

In examining Mitchell's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3070A1.html
- applicable provisions of the Commission's rules. Under these circumstances, we find that complainant's telephone call falls within the ``call-in'' presumption of Section 73.1206, such that notice is not required in this case.3 We, therefore, conclude that cancellation of the proposed forfeiture is appropriate. III. ORDERING CLAUSES 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 504(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), the monetary forfeiture issued against Entercom New Orleans License, LLC IS HEREBY CANCELLED. 5.

In examining Beacon's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,

- its purported inability to pay that amount and provides as supporting documentation its tax returns for the most recent three-year period along with audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3218A1.html
- limits. 17. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Americom willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.1310 of the Rules by exceeding the RFR MPE limits for the general public and failing to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. 18. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')15 does not specify a maximum base forfeiture for violation of the RFR MPE limits described in Section 1.1310.16 However, the Commission recently determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, noting the public safety nature of the rules.17 19. In assessing

- contends that imposition of all or part of the forfeiture would cause a severe financial hardship. In support of this contention, Rev. Dr. Nicolas submits federal income tax returns for tax years 1998, 1999, and 2000. After reviewing the financial documentation presented, in accord with the discretion provided to us by Section 504(b) of the Act,4 and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules,5 we conclude that reduction of the $10,000 forfeiture to $1,000 is warranted in this case. We have reviewed Rev. Dr. Nicolas's remaining arguments and conclude that they do not support further mitigation or cancellation of the forfeiture. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act6 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,7 Rev.

However, Truth argues that the $5,600 forfeiture proposed for failure to comply with AM fencing requirements should be substantially reduced, if not eliminated entirely. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

The police officer reported to the Norfolk Office that the WAAA tower still had no obstruction lighting. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Additionally, McCreary stated that he would like to resolve the monetary forfeiture and offered to let the Commission take possession of his radio apparatus in lieu of payment of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The Enforcement Bureau assessed the forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-336A1.html
- factors exist beyond those already considered in the NAL for further reducing the amount of the forfeiture. Based on the totality of the information before us, we conclude that a forfeiture in the total amount of $5,500 is appropriate.10 V. ORDERING CLAUSES 15. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80, that Northeast Utilities IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of five thousand, five hundred dollars ($5,500) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 C.F.R. 1.17. 16.

- of being the licensee of Station WJFD(FM). While this does not excuse a violation, this factor is mitigating when we determine an appropriate forfeiture amount. 15. Thus, we find that on four different dates Edmund Dinis apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

In his petition for reconsideration, Mr. Brothers does not dispute that he willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act.

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-574A1.html
- a $4,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') to National Cable for the noted violation.2 National Cable has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 National Cable IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully violating Section 1.89(b) of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules5 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the

- licensees are responsible for their agents' acts and omissions.4 Turning to WHNY(AM)'s claim of remedial action, we cite to another well-established FCC position: remedial action, although commendable, will not nullify a forfeiture penalty.5 IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,7 C.W.H. Broadcasting, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,500 for willfully violating Sections 17.4(a)(2), 17.51(a), and 73.49 of the Rules. 10. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.808 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-622A1.html
- the rule includes any word or words spoken during the call. Heftel Broadcasting-Contemporary, Inc., 52 FCC 2d 1005, 1006 (1975). The licensee does not dispute that it did not give any notice to the complainant before WWDC-FM broadcast the complainant's voice mail greeting. Hence, we find apparent liability. 7. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew it was taking the action in
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-677A1.html
- that the complained of material was broadcast when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience. By broadcasting this material on three separate occasions - on March 6, 2001, March 7, 2001, and May 17, 2001- WKQX(FM) apparently violated the prohibitions against broadcast indecency. 15. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-717A1.html
- that the violation was willful or repeated; that the violation was immediately corrected upon being brought to its attention; and that it has an overall history of compliance and showed good faith by voluntary disclosing information to the Enforcement Bureau. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 506(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining KYS's response, Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules requires that the Commission take into account certain downward adjustment criteria, including minor violation, good
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-722A1.html
- of his Government of Puerto Rico income tax returns for 1998, 1999 and 2000 and documents indicating that he is unemployed. Rodriguez also argues that his violations are mitigated by his remedial action and his status as a first offender. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Rodriguez's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-729A1.html
- of Section 1206: Broadcast of Telephone Conversations, 3 FCC Rcd 5461, 5463 (1988). 7. In this case, we find that Clear Channel apparently violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting Mr. Shell's conversation without giving him prior notice of its intent to broadcast such conversation. 8. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules,5 each provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-730A1.html
- find that it is irrelevant whether the individuals requested to view specific documents from the public inspection file or whether they simply asked to see the public inspection file. M&R's failure to provide access to its public inspection file upon request is a violation of the Commission's rules. 8. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in

- CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act,11 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,12 Eure Family Limited Partnership's petition for reconsideration of the December 5, 2001, Forfeiture Order IS DENIED and the issuance of the $8,000 forfeiture IS AFFIRMED. 12. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.13 Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-882A1.html
- the monetary forfeiture for this violation. 9. In conclusion, after subtracting $3,000 for the Section 17.4(a)(2) of the Rules violation that we are dismissing in this Order, we find Willis Broadcasting liable for a $22,000 forfeiture. IV. Ordering Clauses 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),16 and Sections 1.80(i) and 1.106 of the Rules,17 Willis Broadcasting Corporation's petition for reconsideration IS GRANTED to the extent indicated herein and IS DENIED in all other respects. 11. Payment of the $22,000 forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules,18 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid

- is required or that New World violated the rule. New World does not dispute the EAS violation. Therefore, New World contends that the forfeiture amount attributable to the Section 73.1400 violation should be rescinded. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- compliance with the Commission's rules.5 Florida Power contends that in this case, its tower was not dark. Rather, Florida Power states that the tower was lit so that aircraft could see it after sunset. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of twenty two thousand dollars ($22,000) to Patrick for the noted violations.2 Patrick has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 Jamie Patrick Broadcasting, Ltd., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of twenty two thousand dollars ($22,000) for failing to respond to Commission correspondence, failing to install and operate EAS equipment, and failing to maintain a public inspection file in willful violation of Sections 1.89(b), 11.35(a), and 73.3526(a)(2) of the Rules. 4. Payment of the

Excessive cable television signal leakage in the aeronautical bands constitutes harmful interference to distress and safety frequencies.18 Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')19 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,20 the base forfeiture amount for violations of rules relating to distress and safety frequencies is $8,000 per violation. Application of the base amount to the captioned Charter subsidiaries' violations results in a base forfeiture amount of $8,000 for each. The total base forfeiture

- under the Act. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''12 11. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')13 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,14 the base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information (e.g., failure to file an antenna registration form when there is a change in the antenna structure ownership information) is $3,000.15 The Forfeiture Policy Statement does not establish a base forfeiture

- on three separate occasions without Commission authorization, as described above. We have further determined that BroadStreet is apparently liable for forfeitures in the amount of $5000 for each of the violations, resulting in a total forfeiture amount of $15,000. 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, and authority delegated by section 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.311, that BroadStreet Communications, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $15,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 214(a) of the Act20 and sections 63.61, 63.63, 63.71, and 63.505 of the Commission's rules

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act4 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 Central Transport IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $17,000 for willfully violating Section 303(q) of the Act and Sections 17.4(a) and 1.89(b) of the Rules. 4.

For these reasons, we find that on April 6, 2001, WAZX-AM and WAZX-FM apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. 13. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Section 1.80 of the Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture of $3,000 for violations of Section 1.65.60 The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase in the base amount for a Section 1.65 violation under the upward adjustment criteria contained in Section 1.80 and the Forfeiture Policy Statement.61 First, AT&T Wireless's conduct here

- the instances cited in the NAL and requests that the Commission reduce the total base forfeiture amount to $6,500. AT&T Wireless also argues that the Commission's decision in the NAL to triple the aggregate base forfeiture amount was unwarranted. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,13 Section 1.80 of the Rules,14 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/FCC-02-2A1.html
- the forfeiture proposed in the NAL. We therefore issue a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $1,107,500 against 21st Century Fax(es) Limited for willfully or repeatedly violating section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act and the Commission's rules and orders.27 V. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that 21st Century Fax(es) Limited IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $1,107,500 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), section 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders. 11.

- 19, 2001, the Commission released the referenced NAL against Callais in the amount of $133,000. Callais filed its response to the NAL on March 5, 2001, requesting cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 12. The Commission assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),21 Section 1.80 of the Rules,22 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act23 requires that, in examining Callais's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- consumer-grade portable receiver to tune into the station does not meet the transmission system monitoring and control requirements of Section 73.1400. Based on the evidence, we further find that A-O apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1400 of the Rules by failing to have adequate transmission system monitoring and control. 22. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')28 does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits for transmitting tower antennas in Section 1.1310.29 However, the FCC has set a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for failure to comply with other public safety related rules, such as prescribed antenna structure lighting

(``DBI''), Aubrey Smith (``Smith''), and Sam and Gracie Zamarron (``the Zamarrons'') without prior authorization of the Commission; and for its willful and repeated failure to respond to official Commission correspondence ordering it to respond. 2. Also, pursuant to Section 1.80(g) of the Commission's rules,4 this Order constitutes notice of opportunity for hearing to determine whether, in addition to or as an alternative to license revocation and/or cease and desist order, monetary forfeitures should be imposed against RMI for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules. II. Background 3. The licensee of record for Station WMGA(AM) is RMI. However, we

- amount.15 Moreover, in view of the intentional nature of Peninsula's current violations, we do not find that Peninsula's past broadcast record warrants a downward adjustment. Accordingly, we find that the proposed $140,000 forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. III. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Peninsula Communications, Inc.

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/DA-03-780A1.html
- that the forfeiture was proposed in error and the NAL must be rescinded because the antenna structure was surrounded by a protective property fence, and therefore was not accessible to the general public. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case is being assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- records of the antenna structure's ownership, it promptly took steps to remedy the violation. Finally, East Tennessee submits that its overall history of compliance with the Commission's rules warrants reduction of the forfeiture amount. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we grant complaints from Reverend Michael G. Taylor and from Catherine P. Henry2 and find that AMFM Radio Licenses, LLC (``AMFM''), licensee of Station WWDC-FM, Washington, DC, apparently violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999, by willfully and repeatedly airing indecent material over the station during its May 7 and 8, 2002, broadcasts of the

In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,3 we grant, in part, and deny, in part, complaints from the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and Robert E. Amling4 alleging that, during its broadcast of the ``Opie & Anthony Show'' program on August 15, 2002, over Station WNEW(FM), New York, New York, the station licensee, Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc. (``Infinity Broadcasting ''), aired

- failing to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. We also find that the four licensees violated our rules by failing to file any Environmental Assessment statements with the Commission although each was required to do so by September 1, 2000.24 16. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')25 does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310.26 However, we recently determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, noting the public safety nature of the rules.27 17. We propose the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-264A1.html
- under the Act. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''26 16. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')27 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,28 the base forfeiture amount for failure to comply with prescribed lighting and marking requirements is $10,000 for each violation. The base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information (e.g., failure to file an antenna registration form) is $3,000 for each
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-267A1.html
- to our Do-Not-Call requirements, as described above. We have further determined that AT&T is apparently liable in the amount of $10,000 for each of the violations of Section 64.1200(e)(vi) of the Commission's rules, for a total of $780,000. 16. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that AT&T Corporation IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $780,000 for willful or repeated violations of Section 64.1200(e)(vi) as described in the paragraphs above and detailed in Appendix A.24 17. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act9 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,10 Radio One Licenses, LLC shall pay the amount of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for the above-stated violations within 30 days of the release date of this Order.

- this is such a violation.15 B. Future Cases 7. We do not address Infinity's arguments regarding the constitutionality of revocation or imposition of separate forfeitures for multiple violations because we do not impose those sanctions in this case. IV. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSES 8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-seven thousand five-hundred dollars ($27,500) for willfully and repeatedly violating 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. 9. Payment of the forfeiture may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Forfeiture Collection Section, Finance Branch,

- cannot now penalize A-O for violation of the RFR rules after having reviewed A-O's RFR analysis; and that the Commission ``articulated no rational basis'' for specifying a $10,000 base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 73.1310 of the Rules. III. Discussion 10. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,12 Section 1.80 of the Rules,13 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining A-O's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-43A1.html
- the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 7. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 20.18(d) of the Rules.19 However, we think that a substantial proposed forfeiture for this violation is warranted. Violation of the E911 rules is extremely serious because these rules are intended to promote safety of life. The Phase I requirements set forth in Section 20.18(d) have been
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-67A1.html
- we find that WebNet has failed to identify facts or circumstances to persuade us that there is any basis for reconsidering the WebNet NAL. Further, WebNet has not shown any mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the forfeiture penalty. V. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), that WebNet Communications, Inc. SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of $1,200,000 for violating section 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 258, as well as the Commission's rules and orders governing preferred carrier conversions.82 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order of Forfeiture SHALL BE SENT by

- that children may have been in the audience at the time that the material at issue was broadcast on January 9, 2002 and, therefore, the material broadcast is legally actionable. By broadcasting this material, WKRK-FM apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. 12. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

- Office'') issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $20,000 to Konarz.2 Konarz has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 Jason Konarz IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Sections 11.35(a), 73.1745(a), and 73.3526(c) of the Rules. 4.

Northern states that it will register the tower. III. DISCUSSION 8. The NAL assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').6 In examining Capital Media's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of

IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,18 Saga Communications of New England, LLC, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of $4,000 for willfully violating section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules. 9.

- pay. Based on our review of the financial information provided by Business Cell, we conclude that an eight thousand dollar ($8,000) forfeiture would impose a financial hardship on the licensee. Therefore, we reduce the forfeiture to one thousand dollars ($1,000). 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended, and Sections 1.80(i) and 1.106 of the Rules,2 Business Cell's Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED, and the $8,000 forfeiture is reduced to one thousand dollars ($1,000) for Business Cell's willful and repeated violation of Section 17.51(b) of the Rules. 3.

- 20, 2004. In its response, VPM did not dispute the NAL's findings. Rather, VPM sought cancellation of the proposed forfeiture based on its inadvertence, remedial efforts, inability to pay, and history of compliance. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.5 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3250A1.html
- services ``in a manner reasonably designed to reach those who qualify'' for those services. However, as discussed above, Pend Oreille has shown mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the forfeiture penalty to $20,000. 13. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) that Pend Oreille shall forfeit to the United States government the sum of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 214(e)(1)(B) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 214(e)(1)(B), and Sections 54.405(b) and 54.411(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 54.405(b), 54.411(d) as discussed in the paragraphs above. 14. Payment of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3258A1.html
- the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''23 12. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 20.18(d) of the Rules.24 However, we think that a substantial proposed forfeiture for this violation is warranted. Violation of the E911 rules is extremely serious because these rules are intended to promote safety of life.25 Further, the Phase I requirements set forth in Section 20.18(d) have

- Crown states that during the period between the antenna structure inspection and issuance of the NAL, Crown painted the antenna structure, including the cables, prior to receiving notice of the violation from the Commission. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was proposed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Crown's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3264A1.html
- NAL (``response'') wherein it challenged only the public inspection file violation and sought a reduction or cancellation in the proposed forfeiture because of an inability to pay and history of no prior offenses. II. DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').5 In examining Paulino's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3267A1.html
- to a licensed U.S. broadcast station. Based on the record before us, we thus find that, by delivering cross-border programming to Station XEMO, Uniradio undermined one of the primary objectives of Section 325 of the Act and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated the express terms and conditions of its Section 325(c) permit. 8. Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Act,26 and Section 1.80(a)(2) of the Rules,27 provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to substantially comply with the terms and conditions of a Commission issued permit, license or other authorization shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The forfeiture amount for entities other than broadcast licensees or permittees, cable television operators and common carriers may not exceed $11,000 for each violation

- Woodland requested a reduction of the forfeiture amount because it imposes an economic burden on the licensee. Woodland enclosed its tax returns from 2001 to 2003 in support of its economic burden claim. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Woodland's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3277A1.html
- 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.

For these reasons, Echonet requests that the forfeiture be retracted. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Echonet's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and

- financial hardship.5 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, WCVC's petition for reconsideration of the Bureau's Forfeiture Order issued on February 4, 2004, IS DENIED and the issuance of the $7,000 forfeiture IS AFFIRMED. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.6 Payment of the forfeiture must be made by check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act4, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 VIA Technologies, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules. 4.

- rules. In light of this apparent violation, we believe it appropriate that Saga be assessed a monetary forfeiture. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $4,000.00 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation29 and provides that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act30 and 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules,31 which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''32 Based upon the facts and circumstances presented here, in particular because this appears to be an isolated violation, we find the

- we believe it appropriate that Cumulus be assessed a monetary forfeiture. The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000.00 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation15 and provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''),16 and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules,17 which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 Although we commend Cumulus' efforts to remind its Myrtle Beach on-air employees of the obligations of section 73.1206, Cumulus' subsequent remedial

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication.17 We find that the lack of a response to a Bureau LOI in the circumstances presented here warrants a substantial increase to this base amount.

- public inspection file for station KMDY-FM during normal business hours and had apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125(a) of the Rules by failing to maintain a full-time management presence at station KMDY-FM. I. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining Moody's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-399A1.html
- and that ``the forfeiture will simply reduce the amount available to creditors when the bankruptcy is ultimately concluded.''7 North American also denies that the violation was willful, characterizing it as an ``isolated incident . . . result[ing] from inadvertency on the part of the station's staff. ''8 III. DISCUSSSION 5. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''9 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $4,000 base forfeiture for exceeding authorized power limits.10 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4004A1.html
- and the dignity of parties whose conversations may be recorded for simultaneous or later broadcast.28 These considerations are particularly germane to the facts at issue here.29 Under these circumstances, we find that an apparent violation of section 73.1206 and that it is appropriate to propose that AMFM be assessed a monetary forfeiture. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.30 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation.31 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also specifies

- fact by telephone on the same day. Citadel also asserts that all quarterly issues and program lists have since been placed in the files and that Citadel has a good record of compliance. III. DISCUSSION 8. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Citadel's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4025A1.html
- Atlanta Office's measurements were inaccurate, that the company undertook immediate and prompt remedial measures, and, finally, that the leakage problems, for the most part, were attributable to customers premises equipment and inside wiring. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,

- inspection file has been addressed by the station manager.'' Rama seeks an elimination of the forfeiture or a reduction, based on the violations being technical in nature and not warranting an $18,000 forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). 5 In examining Rama's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of

- 14, 2004. In its response to the NAL, which includes a declaration made under the penalty of perjury by the station's chief engineer, Alfred Hammond, JMK seeks cancellation or reduction of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission, in examining JMK's response, take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4032A1.html
- of approximately 12% reduced to approximately 4.5% of gross revenues). We do not reach the cases cited by SM Radio in support of its request for reconsideration because of the reasons discussed below. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended (``Act''), 5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining SM Radio's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- its existing towers cannot be repainted because the towers lead paint if scraped could be harmful to the surrounding environment, and because its efforts to relocate to a new location have been hampered by environmental-related concerns as well. III. DISCUSSION 6. The NAL assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- In a separate note attached to its response, Caprice also states that it cannot afford to pay $4,000 and requests that the Commission consider reducing the forfeiture amount on that basis as well. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules6, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Caprice's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4044A1.html
- findings. FFP nevertheless sought cancellation of the proposed forfeiture based upon its good faith efforts to comply with the subject registration requirements, after the Tampa Office notified FFP of the lack of registration. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4045A1.html
- use of the Louisa tower and would have dismantled it but for Francis's request to use it. 5. The ASR data base indicates that Lycom registered the Louisa tower on March 8, 2004. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission, in examining Lycom's response, take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-445A1.html
- to the NAL. The Bureau's Forfeiture Order, released January 31, 2003, affirmed the forfeiture proposed by the NAL. On February 26, 2003, Coffee County filed a petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended (``Act''), 4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In examining Coffee County's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- have any way in which to verify whether the station was in violation of the Commission's rules. Mr. Alusma also argues that he is unable to pay the forfeiture due to financial hardship. In support of his argument of financial hardship, Mr. Alusma includes various financial documents. III. DISCUSSION 6. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''4 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $10,000 base forfeiture for operation without a license.5 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the

- a couple of days. Tekk further states that its violation was not willful and that it has a history of compliance with the Commission's rules. Therefore, Tekk seeks reduction of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 7. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case is being assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

Finally, Grass Roots states that the cited rule violations have been corrected. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act,4 and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules,5 we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $20,000 forfeiture is warranted.6 4.

In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we find that the captioned licensees, all of which are subsidiaries of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (``Clear Channel''), apparently violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999, by willfully and repeatedly airing indecent material over the captioned stations during the July 19, November 14, 19, 26 and 27 and December 27, 2001, broadcasts of the ``Bubba

The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended (``Act''), 28 Section 1.80 of the Rules,29 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.30 In examining Sutro's Application for Review, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- to financial hardship. What has been the effect of such waivers? 46. Enforcement. The Commission has been aggressively enforcing the Commission's EAS rules. In 2003, for example, the Enforcement Bureau took approximately 80 EAS enforcement actions. Nonetheless, some broadcasters have failed to install or properly maintain EAS equipment. The base forfeiture amount set in the Forfeiture Policy Statement94 and section 1.80 of the rules95 for an EAS violation is $8,000. We seek comment on whether we should increase the base amount or otherwise impose higher forfeitures in this area, and on whether there are additional ways to better ensure compliance. We also seek comment on whether we should seek legislation from Congress to increase the maximum forfeitures in this area from

DISCUSSION 4. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''9 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $10,000 base forfeiture for operation of unauthorized transmissions.10 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the

In the instant case, we find that ACR apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules, by advertising the PLB-200 to the general public, prior to certification without the disclaimer notice required by Section 2.803(c).

Viacom is subject to certain Forfeiture Orders issued pursuant to Section 1.80 of the FCC's Rules involving alleged violations of the Indecency Laws (collectively, ``Forfeiture Orders''). 2.

No. 20332100004 IS CANCELLED. 8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by first class mail and certified mail return receipt requested to Mr. William J.

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''19 15. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')20 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,21 the base forfeiture amount for marketing unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per violation. Thus, the total base forfeiture amount for all of Pilot's violations is $91,000. 16. We are concerned, however, with the pattern of apparent violations here. Our equipment authorization rules ensure that

DISCUSSION 16. The proposed forfeiture amounts in this case were assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,37 Section 1.80 of the Rules,38 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').39 In examining the Mt.

- advice rendered by Commission officials may, in appropriate circumstances, constitute a mitigating factor to be considered in determining forfeiture amount). 13 Minority misstates the Forfeiture Order's holding. The Bureau cited only 17 announcements in setting the forfeiture amount at $10,000.

In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we find that Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc., licensee of Station WKRK-FM, Detroit, Michigan, aired program material during the ``Howard Stern Show'' on July 26, 2001, that apparently violates the federal restrictions regarding the broadcast of indecent material.2 Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances of this case, we conclude that Infinity is apparently liable

- nevertheless seeks a substantial reduction in the assessed forfeiture, based upon her inability to pay, her unfamiliarity with Commission requirements, her efforts to correct the noted violations, and her belief that the Commission's base forfeiture scheme is arbitrary and excessive. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,15 Section 1.80 of the Rules,16 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.17 In examining Salazar's petition, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we find that the captioned licensees, all of which are subsidiaries of Clear Channel Communications, Inc.

On February 27, 2002, Entercom filed a response to the Bureau's NAL8 in accordance with Section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's rules.9 Entercom contended that there is a clear absence of any sexual or excretory context or import in the complained-of material because there is no discussion about the sexual or excretory functions of the male genitalia.10 Thus, Entercom argued that the material was not patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, and

Pursuant to section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's rules,4 the Commission ordered WCSS to pay the full amount of the proposed forfeiture or file a response showing why the proposed forfeiture should not be imposed or should be reduced 5 within 30 days of the NAL's release, i.e., on February 17, 2004.6 WCSS did not file a response to the NAL nor did it pay

In addition, the inclusion of the Star Cruise announcement in the programming supplied to the station was, according to Minority, based on ``oral barter or trade arrangement'' and thus supported by consideration.36 B. Proposed Action 14. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.37 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements.38 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also specifies that

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-18A1.html
- whether these rules and procedures should be modified or eliminated.3 REVIEW OF RELEVANT RULES The Commission identified the following rule parts containing regulations administered by the Enforcement Bureau for review and comment in the Public Notice: Part 1 - Practice and Procedure - Sections 1.711 to 1.736 set forth rules for the filing of formal complaints against common carriers. Section 1.80 addresses forfeiture penalties applicable to common carriers [and others]. These rules are not competition-related, and thus we cannot find that they are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition.'' Accordingly, we find that these rules should be retained. Rules 1.711 through 1.736 set forth the procedures for formal complaint proceedings against common carriers.
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-1907A1.html
- act or failure to act.16 In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''17 10. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication.18 QuickLink's failure to respond occurred in the face of numerous attempts by Bureau staff to call QuickLink's attention to the importance of responding to the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-1923A1.html
- of the Enforcement Bureau. The above- captioned matter should have been closed with Mega Communications' payment of the $10,000 proposed forfeiture. Therefore, we cancel the $10,000 forfeiture issued to Mega Communications in the June 21, 2005 Forfeiture Order. 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended,4 and Sections 0.11, 0.311, 1.80(f)(4) and 1.113 of the Commission's Rules,5 the forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) issued to Mega Communications of St. Petersburg Licensee, L.L.C. in the June 21, 2005 Forfeiture Order IS CANCELED. 3.

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.8 In examining Schikora's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- dollars ($4,000) to Classic for violating Section 1.903(a) of the Rules by operating radio transmitting equipment on the unauthorized frequency of 31.02 MHz.4 Classic filed a response to the NAL on April 13, 2005. III. DISCUSSION 9. The forfeiture amount in this case was proposed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Classic's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-3248A1.html
- since 1999 and had received three subsequent requests for information regarding the antenna structure registration. On April 7, 2005, Forsberg submitted a response to the NAL requesting a reduction of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 8. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Forsberg's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-3269A1.html
- and that it believed in good faith that it had updated all of its ASR's. Finally, ACS argues that it has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's Rules and, therefore, is entitled to a reduced forfeiture amount. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.8 In examining ACS's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-3270A1.html
- accurate; that the fence surrounding the KULE(AM) tower was effective; that the size of the gap in the fence is overstated in the NAL; and that, given Butterfield's recent compliance history with KULE(AM), a $7,000 forfeiture is not warranted. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In examining Butterfield's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- dollars ($21,000) for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Sections 11.35, 73.840, 73.845, and 73.1660(a)(2) of the Rules.2 Halifax filed a response to the NAL requesting partial cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture on January 7, 2005. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,3 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Halifax's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-336A1.html
- to the contrary, we decline to cancel or reduce the proposed forfeiture on the basis of inability to pay. 12. We have considered the forfeiture amount and we have examined Best Wok's petition for reconsideration pursuant to the statutory factors prescribed by Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act,7 and in conjunction with the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines,8 as well. As a result of our review, we conclude that Best Wok willfully violated Section 301 of the Act and find that neither cancellation nor reduction of the monetary forfeiture is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 13. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act9 and Section 1.106

Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules16 authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act.17 In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree

B. Proposed Action 10. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.28 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements.29 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-350A1.html
- that it has discharged that engineer and replaced him with a qualified individual. Kimtron maintains that it has a history of compliance with Commission Rules and requests that the proposed forfeiture be cancelled. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-363A1.html
- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $4,000 to Mr. Westcott.2 Mr. Westcott has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 Paul D. Westcott IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully and repeatedly failing to respond to Commission requests for information about his station. 4.

- cancellation or reduction of the assessed forfeiture based on his inability to pay. Mr. Salter, who asserts he is retired and living on Social Security and fixed retirement benefits, provided copies of his tax returns to support his claim. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, 7 Section 1.80 of the Rules,8 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.9 In examining Mr. Salter's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-449A1.html
- sufficient to warrant a reduction of the forfeiture penalty. For these reasons, we hereby impose a forfeiture of $20,000 for BigZoo's failure to respond to a Commission communication as set forth in the NAL. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that BigZoo.com Corporation SHALL FORFEIT to the United States government the sum of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's rules. 8.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we find that KOFI, Inc. (``KOFI''), licensee of Station KZMN(FM), Kalispell, Montana, apparently willfully violated section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.1206, by broadcasting, and recording for later broadcast, a telephone conversation without first informing a party to the conversation of its intention to do so.2 For the following reasons, based upon our review

- ensuring that any material broadcast in a foreign language conforms to the requirements of the Act and the Commission's rules.23 To the extent that Caguas has overlooked its duties in this regard, we remind it to take appropriate care in the future to avoid further violations of this type. B. Proposed Action 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.24 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements.25 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that

As a result of our review, we again conclude that A-O willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 1.1310, 11.35, 73.1125, and 73.1400 of the Rules and that the appropriate forfeiture amount is $25,000.

- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1325A1.html
- of any intent to violate any provision of this Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission ...." A violation resulting from an inadvertent mistake or a failure to become familiar with the FCC's requirements is considered a willful violation. 6. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1328A1.html
- and that the Commission's licensing scheme for low power FM radio stations is "egregiously unconstitutional." 916 Radio also states that it does not have the ability to pay the forfeiture and requests that the forfeiture be reduced or cancelled. III. DISCUSSION 7. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.

- amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for the apparent willful violation of Section 73.3527 of the Rules. On October 13, 2006, the Tampa Office received CSN's response to the NAL requesting a reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"). In examining CSN's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Spectracom, LLC apparently willfully violated Section 1.948 of the Commission's Rules by failing to notify and receive approval from the Commission for the assignment of three licenses prior to consummation of the transaction. 6. Pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for engaging in an unauthorized transfer of substantial control of a licensee is $8,000. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to

Hare Planting also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. 1. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-2350A1.html
- the Act. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 9.

We have determined that Cbeyond has apparently violated Section 64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules by failing to prepare and maintain a certification in compliance with the rule.

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. Unicom's failures to respond occurred despite multiple attempts by Bureau staff to call Unicom's attention to the importance of responding to LOIs. We find that

- LPSI's apparent nonpayment violations. We thus find LPSI apparently liable for a total proposed forfeiture of $329,000 for its apparent willful and repeated failure to make contributions into the USF. 17. Although the Commission typically downward adjusts a proposed forfeiture when a company voluntarily discloses a violation of our rules, we decline to do so today. Specifically, pursuant to section 1.80(b)(4) of our rules, the Commission has adjusted downward proposed forfeitures where a target of an investigation voluntarily disclosed its violations prior to the initiation of any investigative or enforcement actions. When deciding to discount a proposed forfeiture because of a regulatee's voluntary disclosure, the Commission reasonably expects the regulatee to take swift and effective corrective actions, and to comply with

We have further determined that First Choice Healthcare, Inc. is apparently liable for forfeiture in the amount of $776,500. 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), that First Choice Healthcare, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $776,500 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders described in the

Therefore, the forfeiture amount proposed herein takes into account the continuing nature San Jose's apparent violations, but relates to the company's marketing of Models RA-45, RA-46, RK-104 and RK-304 within the last year. 13. Section 1.80 of the Rules establishes a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the marketing of unauthorized equipment. Section 503(b)(2)(C) of the Act, however, authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.

- ) Wheeling, West Virginia FRN No. 0011339769 ) NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: March 6, 2007 Released: March 6, 2007 By the Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, we find that RCK 1 Group, LLC (the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WKKX(AM) Wheeling, West Virginia, (the "Station") apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by broadcasting a live telephone conversation without giving prior notice to the individual being called of the Licensee's intention to do so. Based on review of the facts and
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/DA-07-1073A1.html
- we do not find this to be a reasonable excuse for the Station's failure to provide access to the public inspection file. To condone excuses such as this one would render the public inspection process meaningless. 10. Based upon the evidence before us, we find that the Station apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3527 of the Commission's rules. Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for public file violations. In its LOI Response, Gaston College requests that if the Bureau determines that a violation occurred, it impose an admonishment rather than a forfeiture. In support of this request, Gaston College cites Tabback Broadcasting and American Family Association, each an admonishment against a radio station

- equipment certification prior to marketing. Mr. Mann admits, however, that there is no certification for these devices. Therefore, we find that The Antique Radio Collector apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules by marketing an intentional radiator prior to obtaining Commission equipment certification. 5. Section 503(b)(1) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs us to consider factors, such as "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

In its first argument, Farmworkers alleges that the Western Region erred in assessing the "maximum forfeiture" of $8,000 for what was "clearly a mistake." Farmworkers argues that the Forfeiture Order cites to its logging violations and states that Section 1.80 of the Rules requires only a $1,000 forfeiture amount for logging violations. We disagree. Section 1.80 of the Rules lists $8,000 as the base, and not the maximum, forfeiture for "EAS equipment not installed or operational." As the Western Region determined in the Forfeiture Order, Farmworkers failed to produce "evidence to refute the San Diego Office's finding that no audio

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that WMGO Broadcasting Corp., Inc. (the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WMGO(AM), Canton, Mississippi (the "Station"), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by recording a telephone conversation for broadcast, and later broadcasting that telephone conversation, without first informing the party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our

S 503(b)(2)(D), and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we believe that a $4,000 forfeiture is appropriate in this case. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10.

The proposed forfeiture set forth in the NAL was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the guidelines enunciated in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeiture liability, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs the Commission to take into account the violator's degree of culpability, history of prior offenses and ability to pay; the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and such other matters as justice may require. We

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 12. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for the violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 13.

Their conduct represents a systemic abrogation of their obligations as a common carrier and demonstrates a blatant disregard for Commission Rules. We therefore believe it is appropriate to consider assessing the statutory maximum for each of these recent

- $97,500 for any single continuing violation. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 10. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV V-Chip technology requirements. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 11. The DTV V-Chip technology requirements

- thousand five hundred dollars ($97,500) against 1^st Source Information Specialists, Inc. d/b/a LocateCell.com ("LocateCell"). LocateCell violated a Commission order by failing to respond to the directive of the Enforcement Bureau ("Bureau") to provide certain information and documents. LocateCell acted in apparent and willful and repeated violation of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("Act") and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules ("Rules"). 2. On July 13, 2006, the Commission issued to LocateCell a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") proposing a forfeiture in the amount of ninety-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($97,500) based on LocateCell's apparent violation of the Bureau's directive. The NAL gave LocateCell the option of paying the proposed forfeiture or of filing a

- sold units of five of the devices. 9. Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Austin Hughes apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(2) of the Rules by marketing nine unauthorized Class A digital devices without proper verification. A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 10. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Austin Hughes' violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(2) of the Rules were willful and repeated. 11. Section

We have further determined that Mexico Marketing Industries, Inc. is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $335,000. 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 1.80, 47 U.S.C. S: 503(b), that Mexico Marketing, LLC is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $335,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. S: 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders

- the violations, but seeks cancellation or reduction of the proposed $75,000 forfeiture. San Jose claims that its violations were not intentional, that its corrective measures demonstrate good faith, and that its payment of the forfeiture would cause economic hardship. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, the Commission is required to take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s); the violator's degree of culpability, history or prior offenses and ability to pay; and such other matters as justice may require. We have considered San Jose's claims in light of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/FCC-07-45A1.html
- for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Hawking's conduct has continued over a period that began in July 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Hawking's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 26. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to

- Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Ramko apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules by selling or offering for sale 17 models of radio transceivers which, by their nature, are ineligible for equipment certification. A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 20. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Ramko's violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules were willful and repeated. 21. Section 1.80(b)(4)
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/FCC-07-58A1.html
- concedes that the Commission may deviate from the guidelines in accordance with the criteria set forth in section 503(b)(2)(D). In any event, the Commission's established methodologies for determining the amount of the forfeiture for the particular violations at issue here do take into account the base forfeiture amounts, as well as the upward and downward adjustment criteria, specified in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. The Commission followed this methodology exactly in the InPhonic NAL. 25. Next, with respect to section 503(b)(2)(D), InPhonic is wrong that we did not comply with the Act because the forfeiture was not sufficiently tied to InPhonic in particular. For example, with respect to the registration violation, InPhonic states that instead of "a particularized Section 503(b)(2)(D)

We are, however, canceling the proposed forfeiture with respect two calls that were made one day before effectuation of the call recipient's national do-not-call registration. 50. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. S 503(b), and section 1.80 (f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.

Thus, it appears that Able Infosat violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules by operating its VSAT system in the United States without Commission authority. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 73.3527 of the Rules. Friendship submitted a response to the NAL requesting cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act'), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) ("Forfeiture Policy Statement").

- Side by Side filed its request for an STA. Thus, it appears that Side by Side violated Section 25.121(e) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application, and violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules by continuing to operate its station without Commission authority. 7. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

III. dISCUSSION 4. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provides that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

By operating earth station E872070 without Commission authorization, Saga apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules. Saga also acted in apparent violation of Section 25.121(e) of the rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. 7.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 9. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed.

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Cardinal's conduct has continued over a period that began during March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Cardinal's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 15. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture for violation of Section 9.5(b) of the Rules. The Commission has, nevertheless, found that the "omission of a specific rule violation from the list ... [establishing base forfeiture amounts] should not signal that the Commission considers any unlisted violation as nonexistent or unimportant. The Commission expects, and it is each licensee's

Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cardinal, the statutory maximum is $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. The Commission has imposed the statutory maximum penalty against common carriers for the intentional provision of incorrect material factual information. Because

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Microboards' conduct has continued over a period that began on March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Microboards' apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 8. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Leetek's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Leetek's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 11. Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for marketing unauthorized equipment. In this case, Leetek marketed two models of unauthorized pager transmitter systems. Leetek's marketing of each of these unauthorized models is a separate, continuing violation. Based on the record of this proceeding and application of the statutory factors listed above, we propose a forfeiture of $14,000

Thus, while we may consider the fact that DCS's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2005 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to DCS's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 13. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. As set forth in the confidential Appendix, DCS apparently marketed PDTs that were not labeled in accordance with Sections 2.909(d) and 15.19(a)(3) of the Rules.

Under Section 503(b)(2)(A) and Section 1.80(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, we may assess a cable television operator a forfeiture of up to $32,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $325,000 for any single continuing violation.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, LCD Digital Electronics, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) for violations of Section 15.117(k) of the Rules. 12.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. However, the Commission has substantial discretion in proposing forfeitures and has stressed that digital signal reception capability is of critical importance to a successful digital transition for the nation. In its previous DTV tuner cases, the Commission concluded that applying a proposed forfeiture

Thus, while we may consider the fact that CoachComm's conduct has continued over a period that began in May 2004, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to CoachComm's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 11. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. CoachComm marketed unauthorized radio frequency equipment. Specifically, CoachComm marketed one system that included the same RF transmitter in both the wireless headsets and command stations.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, we find that Rejoynetwork, LLC ("Rejoynetwork" or the "Licensee"), licensee of Station WAAW(FM), Williston, South Carolina (the "Station") apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's Rules by broadcasting multiple telephone conversations without giving prior notice to the individuals being called of the Licensee's intention to do so.

The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation. In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

- 310(d) of the Act and section 25.119 of the Commission's rules. 6. The fundamental issue in this case is whether FTH violated section 310(d) of the Act and Section 25.119 of the Commission rules by transferring 35 satellite earth station licenses without required Commission approval. We answer this question affirmatively. Based on a preponderance of the evidence, and under Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we therefore conclude that FTH is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $17,500. 7. FTH admits that it failed to apply for Commission approval to transfer control of the satellite earth station licenses.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that Courier Communications Corp. ("Courier" or the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WNOV(AM), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (the "Station"), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting a telephone conversation without first informing the other party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our review of the facts and circumstances,

- ("Tampa Office") issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") in the amount of $25,000 to Rama. Rama has not filed a response to the NAL.

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Multi-Tech's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2006 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Multi-Tech's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 8. Under the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Multi-Tech apparently marketed the CallFinder device without including in the user manual the consumer information regarding radio frequency interference required by Section 15.105(a) of the Rules. We note that a $7,000 forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with

Miller also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that DBK's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2004, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to DBK's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 19. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000.

- DISCUSSION 7. WMGO does not dispute the merits of our apparent finding in the NAL that it violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules and we therefore affirm that holding. Nevertheless, WMGO contends that we should cancel or reduce the forfeiture. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement.

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. Telefyne's failure to respond to the Commission's notices of three informal complaints, as required by section 1.717 of the Commission's rules, warrants the base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for each informal complaint, for a proposed

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Sennheiser's conduct commenced more than one year ago, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Sennheiser's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 8. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. At the time of Sennheiser's apparent violation, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorized the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation.

Section 1.80 of the Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for failure to respond to Commission communications.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "... any omission of a specific

- evidence that the person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. We conclude under this standard that Apple is apparently liable for forfeiture for its failure to timely file the required hearing aid compatibility status report in apparent willful violation of the requirements set forth in Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules. 7. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file required forms or information. While the base forfeiture requirements are guidelines lending some predictability to the forfeiture process, the Commission retains the discretion to depart from these guidelines and issue forfeitures on a case-by-case basis, under its general forfeiture authority contained in Section 503 of

- its Petition, the Licensee seeks reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture in light of its record of compliance, the nature of the violation, and the corrective steps taken to insure its future compliance with the Commission's rules. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-253A1.html
- occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Power 7's conduct has continued over a period that began on March 29, 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Power 7's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 11. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. At the time of Power 7's apparent violations, we were authorized under Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act to assess an entity that is neither a common carrier, a broadcast

To substantiate these claims, XLNT Idea submits federal tax returns for 2006, 2007, and a financial statement for 2008. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. 7.

The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation. In addition, the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

- Response, Princess K Fishing Corporation argues it did not willfully or repeatedly violate Section 80.89(a) of the Rules, that it was not responsible for the acts of its employee, and that it lacks the ability to pay the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-479A1.html
- for STA. Thus, it appears that SES apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules by operating the Satcom C-3 satellite without Commission authority, and that SES apparently violated the requirement to file a modification application to extend the license pursuant to Section 25.117 of the Rules. 6. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- contained in programming that was supplied by the same third-party programmer and involved many of the same advertisers as programming that drew a previous admonishment for violation of the Underwriting Rules. In these circumstances, no mitigation as a consequence of the "embedded" nature of the impermissible advertisements is warranted. B. Proposed Action 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-48A1.html
- appropriate. Accordingly, applying the Forfeiture Policy Statement and the statutory factors to this case, we conclude that Ministerio is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's Underwriting Rules. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Ministerio Radial Cristo Viene Pronto, Inc., licensee of noncommercial educational Station WCRP(FM), Guayama, Puerto Rico, is HEREBY NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C.

The foregoing references appear to exceed the licensee's discretion under Xavier because each, in the context presented, refers either to specific qualities or attributes of the respective underwriters that are not necessarily possessed by competitors, or otherwise contain prohibited price information or other language of inducement. B. Proposed Forfeiture 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-50A1.html
- substantially fewer and the period of time over which they aired is substantially less. Based on all the circumstances, and after examining forfeiture actions in other recent underwriting cases, we believe that a forfeiture of $2,500 is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Cayuga County Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational Station WDWN(FM), Auburn, New York, is hereby NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C.

Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that

In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. 10.

In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. 8.

We now turn to the proposed forfeiture amount, which in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

Having done so, we find no reason to reverse the Region's earlier decisions.

S: 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 1.80, that ADMA Telecom, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $672,541 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Act and the Commission's rules. 41. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, within thirty days of the release date of

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Hawking Technologies, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $50,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Sections 2.803(a) and 15.204(d) of the Rules. 4.

Therefore, we find Omniat is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $40,000 for its willful and repeated failure to make regulatory fee payments from 2005 to 2008. 30. Finally, we find that Omniat has repeatedly and willfully failed to provide a timely and complete response to the LOI. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. We find that Omniat's total failure to respond to the LOI warrants a substantial increase to this base amount. Misconduct of this type exhibits a

IT IS ALSO ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, CBS Radio Inc. of Tampa, formerly Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Florida, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for willful and repeated violation of Section 1.1310 of the Rules. 29.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 15. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 16. The DTV tuner requirement promotes the

Nevada Sun Peak also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application for station WPQE205. 7. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that CruiseEmail's conduct has continued for several years, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to CruiseEmail's apparent violations occurring within the past year. 8. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, set the base forfeiture amount for operation at an unauthorized location at $4,000. Accordingly, we propose a total base forfeiture of $12,000 ($4,000 x 3 stations) against CruiseEmail for its operation of stations KDS, WGM, and WHX at unauthorized locations in apparent willful

Consequently, we conclude that no forfeiture should be imposed. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f) (4) of the Commission's rules, that the proposed forfeiture in the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) issued to Tennessee Telephone Service, LLC d/b/a Freedom Communications USA, LLC in the February 26, 2009 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture IS CANCELLED. 4.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 5. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. We note that the $7,000 base forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with applicable technical requirements or are not authorized by an equipment authorization.

As set forth in detail in the confidential Appendix, we conclude that Alpheus apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 4.9(f) of the Rules by failing to file an electronic Notification within 120 minutes and an Initial Communications Outage Report within 72 hours of discovering a reportable outage. B. Proposed Forfeiture 8. Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty. To impose such a forfeiture penalty, the Commission must issue a notice of apparent

We therefore find that Verizon apparently willfully violated Section 4.11 of the Rules by filing a Final Report that was not true, complete and accurate. B. Proposed Forfeiture 8. Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty.

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2010/DA-10-1290A1.html
- into account the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we conclude that a $20,000 proposed forfeiture is justified in light of AllCom's apparent failure to provide a response to the LOI. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.

- Forfeiture to Ayustar in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Act. Ayustar submitted a response to the NAL requesting reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"). In examining Ayustar's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2010/DA-10-1442A1.html
- history of compliance with the Rules, its prompt action to repair its EAS equipment, and its inability to pay the forfeiture. LSM Radio's response does not dispute the violations identified in the NAL. III. DISCUSSION 7. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining LSM Radio's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

- keeping with Commission precedent and that, in several instances, licensees were only admonished for public file violations. Gaston College also asserts that the forfeiture should be reduced in light of its record of compliance with the Commission's rules. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

- ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. Taking this standard into account, and based upon the facts and circumstances presented here, we find that a forfeiture in the amount of $4,000 is appropriate in this case. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, that Nassau Broadcasting III, L.L.

Under the circumstances presented herein, we conclude that Turner engaged in the unauthorized transfer of control and unauthorized assignment of the 49 subject licenses in apparent willful violation of section 310(d) of the Act, and sections 25.119 and 1.948 of the Rules. 8. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Under this standard, we conclude that MGA is apparently liable for forfeiture for its failure to timely file the required hearing aid compatibility status report in apparent willful violation of Section 20.19(i)(1) of the Rules. 4.

In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history or

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2011/DA-11-1093A1.html
- of the alien ownership restrictions. America Movil is therefore apparently liable for a base forfeiture of $8,000 for its willful violation of section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the 2007 MO&O and Declaratory Ruling. The Commission's rules provide, however, that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation ... and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." We conclude that America Movil's ability to pay warrants an upward adjustment of the base forfeiture amount. To ensure that a proposed forfeiture

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain and make available, during more than one visit, a complete public inspection file. 9. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain a main studio with a meaningful staff presence is $7,000, and the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain and make available a complete public inspection file is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E)

On December 19, 2008, Taylor submitted a response to the NAL requesting cancellation or reduction of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Taylor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

The Commission has consistently imposed forfeiture penalties in the amount of $100,000 for failing to obtain an international section 214 authorization before providing international telecommunications service. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." There is no evidence before us to suggest that the base amount should be adjusted in any

In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000 and for failing to file required forms is $3,000.

In examining Mr. Lindor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Lebron apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. 5. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

Mr. Hays requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture, however, because he lives solely on social security benefits and asserts that, as a result, he cannot afford to pay the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Hays's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

As we explain below, having considered the statutory factors, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000. 9. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a radio station without Commission authority. Based on the record in this proceeding, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000 for Scottsdale Lexus's unauthorized operations. 10.

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Perka's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 8. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "... any omission of a specific

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that St. George apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 76.1801 of the Rules by failing to submit a registration statement with the Commission on FCC Form 322. 11. Proposed Action. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000; for violation of rules relating to distress and safety frequencies is $8,000; and for failing to file required forms is $3,000.

Section 1.80(g) of the Rules states that procedures for hearings "will ordinarily be followed only when a hearing is being held for some reason other than the assessment of a forfeiture...." Section 1.80(g) of the Rules further states that "these procedures may be followed whenever the Commission, in its discretion, determines that they will better serve the ends of justice."

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of public files rules is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 7. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2011/DA-11-1998A1.html
- for certain kinds of violations, and identify criteria, consistent with the section 503(b)(2)(E) factors, that may influence whether we adjust the base amount downward or upward. For example, we may adjust a penalty upward for "[e]gregious misconduct," or whether the subject of an enforcement action has engaged in an "[i]ntentional violation" or "[r]epeated or continuous violation." 7. Pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, the base forfeiture amount for failure to respond to Commission communications is $4,000. Using our discretion to adjust the base forfeiture as circumstances warrant, however, we have imposed penalties that are many times higher for failing to respond properly to LOIs. For example, we have imposed substantial forfeitures for completely

- Commission approval before consummating a substantial transfer of control of a domestic Section 214 authorization. Iowa Telecom did not file an application for Commission approval until December 14, 2009, more than 6 months after its July 1, 2009 transfer of control. B. Proposed Forfeiture 7. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 8. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount in no way suggests that a forfeiture should not be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "any omission of a

- and sales manager both admitted to the agents that Nassau Broadcasting has never maintained a public inspection file for Station WPLY at its main studio. Based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Nassau Broadcasting apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules. A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 9. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating the station in direct contravention of the terms of its station authorization is $4,000, and the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2012/DA-12-608A1.html
- for maintaining public file material from the period of time prior to the Station's current ownership, and because the amount of the proposed forfeiture improperly exceeds the forfeiture amounts imposed in similar circumstances." III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mapleton's Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

Therefore, based on the foregoing, we find that Mr. Thermitus apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. 8. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Ace's response, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

A. Proposed Forfeiture 7. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized equipment is seven thousand dollars ($7,000).

Based upon the evidence before us, and in view of the applicable law and Commission precedent, we find that Clear Channel apparently willfully violated section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules specify a base forfeiture amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) for each violation of section 73.1216. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation,

Section 503(b)(1) of the Act provides that any person that willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission, shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty. Section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(2) of the rules authorizes the Commission to assess a forfeiture of up to $150,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation by a common carrier, up to a statutory maximum for continuing violations of $1,500,000 for a single act or failure to act. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E)

- information was intentional in violation of Section 1.17(a)(1) of the Rules, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting apparently willfully violated Section 1.17(a)(2) of the Rules by providing material factual information that was incorrect without a reasonable basis for believing that the information was correct and not misleading. A. Proposed Forfeiture 8. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for broadcasters such as Vision Latina, the base forfeiture is $37,500 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of

- Station KBPO during regular business hours and found the file did not contain any issues-programs listings. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting apparently willfully violated Section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to make available a complete public inspection file. B. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 6. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of public file rules is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any

- these facts indicate that Mr. Jean consciously operated and/or otherwise was involved in the general conduct or management of the unlicensed station. Therefore, we find that Mr. Jean apparently willfully violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. B. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 8. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- without further expenditure of public resources. Nothing on the record in this case, including A Radio's ability to pay claim, warrants any leniency or mitigation of the proposed forfeiture amount. 5. We have examined the NAL Response pursuant to the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b) of the Act, and in conjunction with the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules. Considering the entire record and the statutory factors listed above, we find that A Radio is liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $25,000. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.204, 0.311, 0.314, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount in no way suggests, however, that a forfeiture should not be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "... any omission

- No. 915PA0010 Brick, New Jersey ) MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Adopted: February 9, 2000 Released: February 10, 2000 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 1. This order rescinds a forfeiture against Bruce Alesso in the amount of $2,000 that was issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80. The forfeiture was assessed for willful violation of Section 301 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 301, based on unlicensed radio transmissions made via a marine radio station which Mr. Alesso had in his home. BACKGROUND 2. In response to a complaint from the U.S. Coast Guard that an unidentified

- inform any party to the call of its intention to broadcast the conversation. In this case, WLI clearly violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by calling Ms. Macareno's daughter and broadcasting the conversation without giving her prior notice of its intent to broadcast such conversation. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, each provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, without regard

- $2,000 as the base amount for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. In this case, we believe that a forfeiture of $1,000 is appropriate due to the prior unblemished enforcement record of the licensee. IV. Ordering Clauses 9. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Southern Rhode Island Public Radio Broadcasting, Inc., licensee, noncommercial educational Station WBLQ(FM), Westerly, Rhode Island, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C.

Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

Specifically, Callcomm states that the Field Office should have given it a citation of the violation charged, a reasonable opportunity for a personal interview at the Field Office closest to Callcomm, and an opportunity to cure the violation before it issued the NAL.

- Petition for Reconsideration raises several issues regarding the investigation, alleges that the record contains factual discrepancies, and contends that facts that were not disclosed in the underlying NAL were used as support in the Forfeiture Order. 5. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that remission of the $7,000 forfeiture is warranted. 6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, the $7,000 forfeiture issued to John A. Acconey IS RESCINDED, and that pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Mr. Acconey's Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED to the

- Rules, and that the $8,000 forfeiture amounts to an undue financial burden for it in light of the $7,100 budgeted annually for KCOZ's operation. 3. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, in particular the financial hardship that would result from an $8,000 forfeiture, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that rescission of the $8,000 forfeiture is warranted. We note, however, that the actions at issue in this case constitute a violation of Section 11.35 of the Rules. We will, therefore, retain a record of this violation, and the violation will be considered in determining an equitable penalty in the event any future violations occur.

- In assessing the forfeiture amount for the tower fencing violation, the NAL noted the inspecting FCC agent's conclusion that Culpeper was aware of the deficiencies in the fence prior to the inspection, making this violation willful. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations, the Columbia Field Office noted that The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines listed a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the fencing violation and $4,000 for the excessive power violation. After considering Culpeper's history of compliance with respect to its operation of WCVA, the Columbia Field Office reduced the forfeiture amount for the excessive power violation to $2,000. No corresponding reduction was deemed to

- Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) to Morradio, Inc. for the referenced violations. Morradio has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm the assessment of a monetary forfeiture in this matter. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Morradio, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $12,000 for willful violation of the provisions of Sections 11.35(a), 73.1690(b), and 73.3538(a)(4) of the Commission's Rules. 4.

- further discussion. However, as explained below, we conclude that Ms. Gizzo has justified a reduction of the base forfeiture amount in light of her inability to pay. Ms. Gizzo argues that, under SBREFA, she is entitled to reduction of the forfeiture amount as a small business. The Commission, through its Forfeiture Policy Statement, Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidelines for upward and downward adjustment of forfeitures. See Jerry Szoka, 14 FCC Rcd 9857, 9866 (1999), recon. denied, 14 FCC Rcd 20147 (1999). Under these guidelines, we consider a licensee's ability to pay as a relevant factor in assessing forfeitures. Our review of Ms. Gizzo's

- to the Commission or to a charitable organization of his choice, as determined most appropriate by the Commission; and permit an authorized Commission agent to inspect his residence to ensure all equipment has been removed. III. DISCUSSION 12. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on or about January 12, 1999, Station KRXK(AM), violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to

- Broadcasting, based on the information submitted we would find no reason to reduce its forfeiture amount. 10. Turning to ARS Broadcasting's claim that it might qualify as a small business, we will assume, for this discussion only, that it qualifies as a small business. The Commission, following Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, and through its Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidance for upward and downward adjustments to forfeitures, as provided by SBREFA. Using this guidance, we do not find that ARS Broadcasting is entitled to a further reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture amount. 11. After examining ARS Broadcasting's response to the NAL under Section 503(b)(2)(D)

On November 5, 1999, the Wireless Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, issued an NAL in the amount of $3,000 to Advanced TelCom for the late filing of its license renewal applications.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued against Chadmoore and PTT Maple ARE RESCINDED. 8.

- the rule by denying Mr. Huffman access to the public file and by asking him why he wanted access to the file. Furthermore, Riverside also violated Section 73.3526 by failing to place certain materials in the public inspection file, including certain issues/programs lists and EEO Model Program Reports. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on August 25, 1999, at approximately 1:15 p.m., Station KSJO(FM) violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules by airing indecent programming.

- Rcd 3695 (MMB 1990). Because the material aired at around 8:15 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on February 9, 2000, Station KSJO(FM) violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- is establishing a procedure to ensure that certificate violations will not occur in the future; and it is rare for Sealand, which operates almost 40 U.S. flag vessels, to miss the renewal of a Safety Certificate. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 364(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4), requires that the Commission, in examining Sealand's response, take into account the nature,
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/da00561.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/da00561.txt
- account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''). Those factors include the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. See also Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules. After considering all of the circumstances, we believe the ends of justice will be served by imposing the forfeiture for the main studio rule violation but canceling the forfeiture for the public file rule violation. 6. With respect to the main studio violation, we note that we recently imposed a forfeiture of $7,000 for willful and

- not believe that KXLE has presented sufficient reasons to justify reducing the forfeiture amount. Even if the AM equipment had been dismantled for repair on the day of inspection, as KXLE claims, we believe an $8,000 forfeiture amount for the inoperable EAS equipment for the FM station alone is appropriate. See The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, released December 28, 1999 (base amount of $8,000 for EAS violation). Further, KXLE claims that its lack of knowledge of required EAS testing for the FM station warrants reducing the forfeiture amount. Commission licensees are responsible for knowing and adhering to the statutes

- submission is not supported in this manner and, therefore, provides no reliable basis for Hoosier's claim of inability to pay. In any event, the material that Hoosier did submit indicates gross revenues of approximately $52,000 for 1998. A $4,000 forfeiture under these circumstances is not excessive. 8. The forfeiture standards in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines sets $5,000 as the base forfeiture amount for a willful violation of Section 73.1350(a). The Field Office and the Bureau reviewed the record, which included Hoosier's operating history and claims of vandalism, and concluded that a $4,000 forfeiture was indicated instead of the $5,000 base forfeiture amount. We affirm that conclusion. IV.

DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- intent, the cited violations were willful. The Bureau also noted that while remedial action to correct a violation is commendable, it will not nullify a forfeiture penalty, and, further, that Northwest had not provided any documentary evidence to evaluate its ability to pay the forfeiture. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407 (Released December 28, 1999) ("Policy Statement").

However, Sunjet did not provide any tax returns or financial statements to support this claim. III. DISCUSSION 11. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

In addition, Two Way states, if its response does not close this matter, it is making a ``motion for Discovery.'' III. DISCUSSION 5.

Dispoto stated that his full-time occupation is operating his internet radio station, which, according to him, just breaks even. III. DISCUSSION 10. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Act, and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

The financial statements, which are marked ``unaudited'' and do not contain a certification of their correctness, indicate that KNFL's gross revenues were $56,387 in 1996, $80,888 in 1997 and $119,654 in 1998. III. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- supplement broadcast announcements, they cannot act as a substitute for broadcast announcements. The dispute between Ms. Barto and AK concerning their different understandings of the rules for the ``$10,000 Music Challenge'' demonstrates why it is important for stations to broadcast all of the material terms of a contest. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action

Upon review of the particular circumstances in this case, and in accordance with the discretion afforded to the Commission by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we have determined that rescission of the forfeiture is warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the forfeiture issued against County of Surry IS RESCINDED. 7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall be

- violations, when coupled with its culpability, offset Bay's overall history and market situation. Further, neither Bay's small business status nor its asserted inability to pay warrants reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture. The forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Bay Broadcasting Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of nineteen thousand dollars ($19,000). The forfeiture is imposed for willful and repeated violations of Section 301 of the Act and Sections 73.1201, 73.1675, 73.1690 and 74.1251 of the Commission's rules. Among other things, those provisions proscribe operation of unlicensed transmitters; certain modifications to

- organs in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired between 6:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on February 26, 1999, Station KROR-FM, violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's Rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent

- consummated the assignments. Champion's authorizations expired on April 1, 1999. Champion, however, did not file applications for the renewal of those authorizations until June 3, 1999. WTB granted the late-filed renewal applications on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of three thousand dollars ($3,000) to Champion for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5. On December 6, 1999, the FCC received Champion's response to the NAL. In that response, Champion argues that its failure to file timely renewal applications was not willful because it did not know

- any and all violations occurring during the period from 1993 to 1999 as a ``convenient target.'' Finally, Mr. Holcombe argues that he has been denied a fair hearing of the facts and the right to due process.

- Meyers contends that the reference in the NAL to the interference complaints received by the Houston Office between 1993 and 1999 unfairly suggests that he is responsible for those violations and was intended to prejudice the Commission.

On April 28, 1999, the Commission's Kansas City, Missouri Field Office, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, issued the referenced Notice of Apparent Liability (``NAL'') for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $11,000 to Mr. Gaskey for the noted violation.

- 23, 2000 Released: March 29, 2000 By the Commission: 1. In this Order, we dismiss in part and deny in part the March 31, 1999 application for review filed by Mark H. Fulling of the Forfeiture Order in this proceeding. Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, the former Compliance and Information Bureau found Mr. Fulling liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $8,000 for operation of an unlicensed FM broadcast station, in willful violation of Section 301 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 301. For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss the application in
- http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/fcc00196.doc http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/fcc00196.txt
- we believe a total forfeiture of $40,000 is appropriate and consistent with the Central Illinois and Puget Sound cases. We allocate the forfeitures as follows: $22,000 to Roadrunner, $10,000 to DOE, and $4,000 each to City Courier and Eastside/Westside. IV. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), Roadrunner Transportation, Inc., Dynamex Operations East, Inc., City Courier, Inc., and Eastside/Westside, Inc. ARE LIABLE FOR MONETARY FORFEITURES in the amounts of $22,000, $10,000, $4,000, and $4,000, respectively, for their willful and repeated violations of Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 310(d), and former Section

Section 1464, which prohibits the broadcast of indecent material. This action is taken pursuant to Sections 312(a)(6) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 312(a)(6) and 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 1.80(f)(4). 2. By Notice of Apparent Liability (``NAL''), FCC 99-187, released July 22, 1999, we determined that certain material apparently broadcast over WQAM on five days in May 1998 was indecent. Inasmuch as the material was apparently aired between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., we concluded that the broadcasts occurred

- the Commission's rules and orders by using a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send eight unsolicited advertisements to the consumers identified above. We have further determined that Tri-Star is apparently liable for forfeitures in the amount of $47,000. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that Tri-Star Marketing, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $47,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), and the related orders described in the

- those guidelines will not change the definition of indecency or the Commission's enforcement procedures, both of which have been affirmed by the courts. Moreover, as we have previously stated, ``[w]hile we still intend to issue such guidance, we continue to believe that our existing rulemaking orders and case law provide sufficient guidance.'' Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (Reconsideration Order), 15 FCC Rcd 303, 306 (1999). Thus, we find no merit to Citicasters' argument that it is unable to substantively respond to the NAL until after issuance of the guidelines and we see no reason to await issuance of the guidelines before imposing the forfeiture order in this case. In

- mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the $2,400,000 forfeiture penalty. Finally, we note that evidence of further violations may lead to institution of a proceeding to revoke BDP's authorization to be a long distance carrier under section 214. V. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), that Business Discount Plan, Inc. SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of two million four hundred thousand dollars ($2,400,000) for violating Sections 201(b) and 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 201(b), 258, as well as the Commission's rules and orders in effect from December 1997 to December 1998

- for assessing an appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations that were subject to a forfeiture from July 23, 1998 forward. Accordingly, ENSERCH's argument that the NAL violated the statute of limitations is rejected. ENSERCH also argues that the forfeiture exceeds the $82,500 maximum forfeiture for any single action or failure to act. See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(C), 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(5)(iii). We reject that argument because each station that ENSERCH transferred without Commission approval constitutes a separate violation of the Act and the Commission's rules. See Courtesy Communications, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 4198, 4200 (1999). The $82,500 statutory maximum represents the maximum forfeiture that can be issued ``for any single act or failure to act described in paragraph (1) of this

In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may

- the Commission's rules for a cable operator to respond to a potential leased access programmer's request for leased access information. In view of Time Warner's failure to comply with Section 76.970(h)(1), we are considering separately issuing to Time Warner a notice of apparent liability for forfeiture pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 1.80 and 76.975(f) of the Commission's rules. In view of the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for relief filed in the captioned proceeding by Kenney Broadcasting Corporation IS DISMISSED.

- In the Matter of: ) ) ) Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ) NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY Adopted: February 8, 2000 Released: February 16, 2000 By the Commission: I. Introduction In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, we initiate enforcement action against Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision"), pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. For the reasons discussed below, we find that Cablevision has apparently willfully and/or repeatedly violated Section 614 of the Communications Act and the Commission's implementing rules, by its failure to carry commercial television station WXTV on channel 41 on several of its cable systems in the New York television market. These violations have occurred on a

- toll free number shortage, but it results in toll free numbers remaining inactive and unavailable for subscribers in need of working numbers. We note that the Commission has received a number of complaints about hoarding of 800 numbers. See Options from 800 National Product Team, dated June 6, 1995. Footnote 73 See, e.g., 47 U.S.C. 502 and 503; [183]47 C.F.R. 1.80. Footnote 74 Persons making false statements can be punished by fine or imprisonment under the Communications Act. See, e.g., 47 U.S.C. 220(e). Title 18 also provides penalties for false statement. See 18 U.S.C. 1001. Footnote 75 See, e.g., Letter from J. C.

- the preferred carriers of the fourteen consumers identified above, on the dates and in the manner described herein. We have further determined that Coleman Enterprises d/b/a Local Long Distance is apparently liable for a total forfeiture amount of $1,120,000. 40. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that Coleman Enterprises, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $1,120,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 258 of the Act and the Commission's preferred carrier change rules and orders as described in the paragraphs above. 41.

- that at least 350 complaints against certain of the Fletcher Companies are within the Commission's statute of limitations, including at least 240 slamming complaints against LDSI and at least 110 slamming complaints against PCI. 50 We note that the Commission recently adopted a policy statement and guidelines regarding unauthorized PIC changes. See Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, Report and Order, CI Docket No. 95-6, at 18 (rel. July 28, 1997). Although we do not rely on these guidelines, because they were not in place at the time of the complaints filed against the Fletcher Companies', we note that these guidelines recommend an assessment of forfeitures in the amount of

- of allegedly false statements with the Commission in responding to JMJ's informal complaint. Forfeitures and other Commission-initiated enforcement actions are not, however, available as remedies to complainants in informal or formal complaint proceedings. If the Commission determines that AT&T's actions necessitate the assessment of a forfeiture or other Commission action, the Commission may, on its own motion, pursuant to section 1.80 of our rules, assess a forfeiture against any person found to have willfully or repeatedly violated any provision of the Act or any Commission rule, regulation, or order. . Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j) and 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the authority delegated under

The Commission, for example, has authority under section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act, to impose forfeiture penalties and, if such a situation was before it properly, would consider imposing penalties on any incumbent LEC that fails to comply with the line sharing rules articulated in this order. Pursuant to section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act (47 U.S.C 503(b)(2)(B)) and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules (47 C.F.R 1.80), the amount of the forfeiture would not exceed $110,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation up to a total of $1,100,000. We would be prepared to take action each time an incumbent LEC fails to comply with its section 251(c)(3) unbundling obligations, even if we have already taken action

Specifically, the competitive LEC missed appointment rates for February through June 2001 were 14.29 percent, 15.79 percent, 9.38 percent, 21.05 percent, and 3.57 percent respectively. Verizon's performance for its own retail special services for the same period was 4.98 percent, 1.24 percent, 1.09 percent, 2.39 percent, and 1.80 percent respectively. See Verizon Lacouture/Ruesterholz Decl. at para. 275. In Pennsylvania, the retail analogue for this measure historically has been all retail ``special services,'' which predominantly includes relatively simple voice-grade services, rather than the more complex services that CLECs order. Id. at paras. 275-276. The revised retail analogue uses provisioning of retail DS-3s instead of retail special services because the

In this order, we deny two petitions for reconsideration of Report and Order in this proceeding, both relating to interpretation of Section 504(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``the

This action adjusts the maximum forfeiture penalties to account for the growth in the Consumer Price Index since 1995, as required by the Debt Collection Improvement Act, 28 U.S.C. 2461. The amendment of Section 1.80(b) will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal

- or broadcast at the beginning of a telephone call, if the conversation is already being taped or broadcast. Rather, ``notice of intent to broadcast a conversation [must] actually precede the recording or transmission of the telephone call.'' Id., see also KIDS-TV 6, 14 FCC Rcd 13351 (MMB 1999). Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in

- supplement broadcast announcements, they cannot act as a substitute for broadcast announcements. The dispute between Ms. Barto and AK concerning their different understandings of the rules for the ``$10,000 Music Challenge'' demonstrates why it is important for stations to broadcast all of the material terms of a contest. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action

- organs in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired between 6:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on February 26, 1999, Station KROR-FM, violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's Rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent

- inform any party to the call of its intention to broadcast the conversation. In this case, WLI clearly violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by calling Ms. Macareno's daughter and broadcasting the conversation without giving her prior notice of its intent to broadcast such conversation. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, each provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, without regard

- find that the violations were willful. The Commission has held that an act or omission is ``willful'' if it is a conscious and deliberate act or omission, whether or not there is any intent to violate the rule. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the violations warrant the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules require us to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Brewer's 2-way Radio (collectively, ``Mr. Brewer''), in the amount of $10,000, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, for willful violation of Sections 2.803(a)(1), and 15.201(b) of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. 2.803(a)(1), and 15.201(b). These violations are based on the marketing of a transmitter not authorized by the Commission. The transmitter at issue was sold to an undercover agent of the Commission's Tampa, Florida Field Office. BACKGROUND

As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- Mr. James Farlow has raised in response to both the underlying Notice of Apparent Liability ("NAL") and the Forfeiture Order. The NAL proposed and the Forfeiture Order affirmed imposition of a forfeiture against Mr. Farlow in the amount of $7,000, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("the Act"), 47 U.S.C.

- and Ordering Clauses 4. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, that WTTW's request for reduction or rescission filed January 2, 1998 IS GRANTED to the extent that we approve a reduction of the proposed forfeiture amount from $5,000 to $2,000. 5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Window to the World Communications, Inc., licensee of noncommercial educational television station WTTW (TV), Chicago, Illinois, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000), for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 399B of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sec. 399b, and Section 73.621(e) of the Commission's rules. 6.

Moreover, none of the language in those rulings is inconsistent with the plain language of the rule, which clearly requires prior notification. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action

- revisiting issues previously addressed, or for reducing or rescinding the forfeiture amount. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 6. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Joy Public Broadcasting Corporation's petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order for NAL No. 915TP0004 IS DENIED. 7. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by credit card through the Commission's Credit and Debt Management Center at (202) 418-1995

- is establishing a procedure to ensure that certificate violations will not occur in the future; and it is rare for Sealand, which operates almost 40 U.S. flag vessels, to miss the renewal of a Safety Certificate. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 364(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4), requires that the Commission, in examining Sealand's response, take into account the nature,
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/da000561.doc
- account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''). Those factors include the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. See also Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules. After considering all of the circumstances, we believe the ends of justice will be served by imposing the forfeiture for the main studio rule violation but canceling the forfeiture for the public file rule violation. 6. With respect to the main studio violation, we note that we recently imposed a forfeiture of $7,000 for willful and
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/da000571.doc
- submission is not supported in this manner and, therefore, provides no reliable basis for Hoosier's claim of inability to pay. In any event, the material that Hoosier did submit indicates gross revenues of approximately $52,000 for 1998. A $4,000 forfeiture under these circumstances is not excessive. 8. The forfeiture standards in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines sets $5,000 as the base forfeiture amount for a willful violation of Section 73.1350(a). The Field Office and the Bureau reviewed the record, which included Hoosier's operating history and claims of vandalism, and concluded that a $4,000 forfeiture was indicated instead of the $5,000 base forfeiture amount. We affirm that conclusion. IV.

- on April 7, 1999. On April 23, 1999, the Commission's staff returned those applications to Pampa as defective. Pampa refiled the applications on May 28, 1999, and the Commission's staff granted them on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000) to Pampa for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5. On December 6, 1999, the FCC received Pampa's response to the NAL. In that response, Pampa asserted, among other arguments, that it requested application forms from the Commission on March 24, 1999, but

- Finally, Western contends that the proposed monetary forfeiture is ``excessive'' and provides copies of Western's 1996, 1997 and 1998 federal income tax returns as well as ``cash flow statements'' from March, April, May, and June 1999. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Western's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/da000579.doc
- intent, the cited violations were willful. The Bureau also noted that while remedial action to correct a violation is commendable, it will not nullify a forfeiture penalty, and, further, that Northwest had not provided any documentary evidence to evaluate its ability to pay the forfeiture. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407 (Released December 28, 1999) ("Policy Statement"). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/da000590.doc
- a forfeiture only for the period from December 11, 1997 until October 30, 1998 because WS' application for renewal of license was granted on December 11, 1997, and a forfeiture for violations prior to that time is barred by the statute of limitations. See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(6)(A). Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action

Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- consummated the assignments. Champion's authorizations expired on April 1, 1999. Champion, however, did not file applications for the renewal of those authorizations until June 3, 1999. WTB granted the late-filed renewal applications on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of three thousand dollars ($3,000) to Champion for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5. On December 6, 1999, the FCC received Champion's response to the NAL. In that response, Champion argues that its failure to file timely renewal applications was not willful because it did not know

- any and all violations occurring during the period from 1993 to 1999 as a ``convenient target.'' Finally, Mr. Holcombe argues that he has been denied a fair hearing of the facts and the right to due process. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Meyers contends that the reference in the NAL to the interference complaints received by the Houston Office between 1993 and 1999 unfairly suggests that he is responsible for those violations and was intended to prejudice the Commission.

- $2,000 as the base amount for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. In this case, we believe that a forfeiture of $1,000 is appropriate due to the prior unblemished enforcement record of the licensee. IV. Ordering Clauses 9. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Southern Rhode Island Public Radio Broadcasting, Inc., licensee, noncommercial educational Station WBLQ(FM), Westerly, Rhode Island, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C.

Callcomm initially responds to the NAL by stating that because it ``is not the licensee of the transmitter located on Eldorado Mountain,'' the Field Office should have followed the dictates of Section 503(b)(5) of the Act and Section 1.80(d) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), for non-Commission licensees, prior to issuing the NAL. Specifically, Callcomm states that the Field Office should have given it a citation of the violation charged, a reasonable opportunity for a personal interview at the Field Office closest to Callcomm, and an opportunity to cure the violation before it issued the NAL. However, Callcomm overlooks the

In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations, the Columbia Field Office noted that The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines listed a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the fencing violation and $4,000 for the excessive power violation. After considering Culpeper's history of compliance with respect to its operation of WCVA, the Columbia Field Office reduced the forfeiture amount for the excessive power violation to $2,000.

- further discussion. However, as explained below, we conclude that Ms. Gizzo has justified a reduction of the base forfeiture amount in light of her inability to pay. Ms. Gizzo argues that, under SBREFA, she is entitled to reduction of the forfeiture amount as a small business. The Commission, through its Forfeiture Policy Statement, Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidelines for upward and downward adjustment of forfeitures. See Jerry Szoka, 14 FCC Rcd 9857, 9866 (1999), recon. denied, 14 FCC Rcd 20147 (1999). Under these guidelines, we consider a licensee's ability to pay as a relevant factor in assessing forfeitures. Our review of Ms. Gizzo's

- to the Commission or to a charitable organization of his choice, as determined most appropriate by the Commission; and permit an authorized Commission agent to inspect his residence to ensure all equipment has been removed. III. DISCUSSION 12. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Mr. Martin's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/da001567.doc
- in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on or about January 12, 1999, Station KRXK(AM), violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to

- Broadcasting, based on the information submitted we would find no reason to reduce its forfeiture amount. 10. Turning to ARS Broadcasting's claim that it might qualify as a small business, we will assume, for this discussion only, that it qualifies as a small business. The Commission, following Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, and through its Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidance for upward and downward adjustments to forfeitures, as provided by SBREFA. Using this guidance, we do not find that ARS Broadcasting is entitled to a further reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture amount. 11. After examining ARS Broadcasting's response to the NAL under Section 503(b)(2)(D)

Quite the opposite, WBC's intentional misconduct justifies use of the upward adjustment criteria cited in the NAL. The proposed forfeiture is fully justified and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, WRHC Broadcasting Corp. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars ($22,500) for violating the terms and conditions of its license and the Commission's rules requiring operation within the parameters set forth in the license, and requiring express permission prior to a permittee's operation or commencement of program tests involving directional

On November 5, 1999, the Wireless Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, issued an NAL in the amount of $3,000 to Advanced TelCom for the late filing of its license renewal applications. On January 10, 2000, the Commission received Advanced TelCom's response to the NAL. In the response, Advanced TelCom asserts that the proposed forfeiture should be cancelled because Advanced TelCom is a very small business whose revenues are

As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- could not be reasonably viewed as applying to the second stock sale. Accordingly, we do not view the parties' actions in connection with the second stock sale (from Mr. Collins to Mr. Rodgers) as the type of reasonable reliance on staff advice that would make a forfeiture inappropriate. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) ("Policy Statement"). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the

- response on February 22, 2000. 3. In its response to the NAL, PCS Communications raises several issues regarding the Field Office's investigation of Coupe's complaints and alleges that the record is neither accurate nor complete. 4. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and as provided by Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, we conclude that cancellation of the NAL is warranted. 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the NAL issued to PCS Communications, Inc. IS CANCELLED. 6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall by sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,

- (February 26, 1999), we believe that Three Eagles can only receive limited credit for its prior record of compliance. Based upon our consideration of the record as a whole, we believe a $6,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Three Eagles of Columbus, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of six thousand dollars ($6,000), for its willful violation of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3999.

Upon review of the particular circumstances in this case and in accordance with the discretion afforded to the Commission by Section 504 of the Act and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we have determined that rescission of the proposed forfeitures is warranted. ORDERING CLAUSES 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued against Chadmoore and PTT Maple ARE RESCINDED. 8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a

Nonetheless, because Diamond apparently believed that American Tower was responsible for responding, and taking into account all the factors required under Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we find that the proposed forfeiture should be reduced to $500. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Diamond Services Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $500 for violating Section 1.89(b) of the Commission's Rules, which requires the recipient of a Notice of Violation to respond in writing within a specific time period.

- 23, 2000 Released: March 29, 2000 By the Commission: 1. In this Order, we dismiss in part and deny in part the March 31, 1999 application for review filed by Mark H. Fulling of the Forfeiture Order in this proceeding. Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, the former Compliance and Information Bureau found Mr. Fulling liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $8,000 for operation of an unlicensed FM broadcast station, in willful violation of Section 301 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 301. For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss the application in
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Enforcement/Orders/2000/fcc00239.doc
- mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the $2,400,000 forfeiture penalty. Finally, we note that evidence of further violations may lead to institution of a proceeding to revoke BDP's authorization to be a long distance carrier under section 214. V. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), that Business Discount Plan, Inc. SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of two million four hundred thousand dollars ($2,400,000) for violating Sections 201(b) and 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 201(b), 258, as well as the Commission's rules and orders in effect from December 1997 to December 1998

- for assessing an appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations that were subject to a forfeiture from July 23, 1998 forward. Accordingly, ENSERCH's argument that the NAL violated the statute of limitations is rejected. ENSERCH also argues that the forfeiture exceeds the $82,500 maximum forfeiture for any single action or failure to act. See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(C), 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(5)(iii). We reject that argument because each station that ENSERCH transferred without Commission approval constitutes a separate violation of the Act and the Commission's rules. See Courtesy Communications, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 4198, 4200 (1999). The $82,500 statutory maximum represents the maximum forfeiture that can be issued ``for any single act or failure to act described in paragraph (1) of this

- Commission's rules and orders by using a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send 20 unsolicited advertisements to the consumers identified above. We have further determined that US Notary is apparently liable for forfeiture in the amount of $90,000. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that US Notary, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $90,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) and 64.1200(f)(5) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), and the related orders described in

- basis for additional notices of apparent liability. If ATNC continues to violate our universal service rules, such violations could result in future NALs proposing substantially greater forfeitures, or could result in issuance of a show cause order to revoke ATNC's operating authority. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 12. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, America's Tele-Network Corp. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of one hundred fifty-four thousand dollars ($154,000) for violating the Act and the Commission's rules requiring regular contributions for universal service. 13.

- Enforcement Bureau impose a forfeiture for our failure to seek prior FCC consent for assignment and transfer of control of FCC licenses? Failure to seek FCC approval prior to an assignment or transfer of control is a violation of the Communications Act and the FCC's rules and, thus, subjects the parties to possible enforcement action, including monetary forfeitures. Under Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, unauthorized substantial transfers of control carry a base forfeiture amount of $8,000 per violation, while unauthorized pro forma transfers of control carry a base forfeiture amount of $1,000 per violation. These amounts can be adjusted upward or downward based on the applicability of certain criteria. The Commission strongly encourages parties that may

The Division further concludes that Hudson is liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $2,000. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, County of Hudson, New Jersey, SHALL FORFEIT to the United States the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and former Section 90.113 of the Commission's Rules.

Introduction This is a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, against Entergy Security Corporation (``Entergy''), operator of Fixed Microwave Service station licenses WNEP492 and WNEH696 at Metarie and New Orleans, Louisiana. We find that Entergy acquired control of these two stations without prior Commission consent, in apparent violation of Section 310(d) of the Act and Section 101.53 of the Commission's Rules. For the reasons discussed below,
- http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Wireless/Orders/1999/da991989.doc
- not apply for or obtain Commission consent prior to the transfers of control of its stations to CMP on September 1, 1998. The guidelines contained in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, which became effective on October 14, 1997, give a base forfeiture amount of $1,000 for each unauthorized pro forma transfer of control. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules require us to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." We find the transfers were pro forma in nature. Furthermore, Central Maine voluntarily notified the

- licensee of record of the subject stations) merged into its parent company (Touch America's predecessor in interest). Touch America concedes that it engaged in such transfers of control without Commission consent. Failure to obtain Commission consent to a transfer of control is a violation for which the Commission has long imposed monetary forfeitures. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules require us to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's Rules state that a licensee that willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with any provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's Rules, or fails to comply substantially with the terms and conditions of any license, shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- responded on February 27, 2001. In the reply, CommuniComm identifies the specific actions taken to correct the violations noted in the NOV and to preclude their recurrence, as well as, a time line for completion of such actions. The Commission assesses monetary forfeitures pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')13 as implemented in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules.14 A forfeiture may be assessed against a person who the Commission finds to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Commission's Rules.15 ``Willful'' in this context means that the person knew that he was doing the act in question, regardless of intent to violate the provision.16 ``Repeated'' means
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2002/DOC-238275A1.html
- ``willfull'' as used in Section 503(b) has been interpreted to mean simply that the acts or omissions are committed knowingly.2 It is not pertinent whether or not the licensee's act or omissions are intended to violate the law. Forfeitures assessed pursuant to Section 503(b)(2) of the Act are determined in accordance with the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement).3 7.

- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2002/DOC-238276A1.html
- to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. The amount of forfeiture penalty should take into consideration the severity of the instant violation, in addition to the status and prior offenses of the violator. The base forfeiture amount for violation of public file rules is $10,000, in accordance with The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In view of the fact that HCTV was previously issued an Official Notice of Violation on November 29, 2000 for violation of Section 73.3527(c)(1) of the Rules, we see no reason to mitigate the base forfeiture amount.

Accordingly, we find that Conneaut apparently willfully and repeatedly violated the Rules by failing to register its antenna structure, as required by Section 17.4(a) of the Rules. 7. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"),8 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 the base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information is set at three thousand dollars ($3,000). In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, which

- the course of an inspection and investigation, authorized by the Act and the Rules, 8. There is no base forfeiture amount for refusing to conduct a requested test during an inspection. We conclude, however, that this violation is similar to a violation that involves failing to permit inspection, which, pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules, carries a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for each such violation.7 Failure to perform tests requested during an inspection effectively negates the value of the inspection, because it prevents the agents from obtaining necessary information from the inspection. In assessing the monetary forfeiture

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of public file rules is $10,000. However, because Mediacom's public file was partially complete, we conclude a reduction in the base forfeiture amount for the public file violation to $4,000 is appropriate.

Based on the evidence before us, we find Venters apparently willfully violated Section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission apparatus without a license on 100.9 MHz in Okeechobee, Florida, on July 12, 2005. 7. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000.

Because WWRL's public file was mostly complete and missing only one item, we conclude a reduction in the base forfeiture amount for the public file violation to $4,000 is appropriate.

Based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Truatt apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3526(e)(12) of the Rules. 16. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000, the base forfeiture amount for failure to make required measurements is $2,000, and the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000.

- with the station license. During the November 16, 2006 studio inspection, the agent observed that there was no written chief operator designation. During the inspection, WYGG's station manager admitted that there was no designated chief operator. We therefore admonish MBHD for violating Section 73.1870 of the Rules. E. Forfeiture Amount 25. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310. However, the Commission has determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, reflecting the public safety nature of the rules. The base forfeiture

- between April 26, 2007, and April 29, 2007. BCBA was aware of the requirement to operate KGNU(AM) at the power levels authorized on its license, but failed to do so. Therefore, the violation was willful. The violation occurred on more than one day, therefore, the violation was repeated. 10. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for exceeding power limits is $4,000 per violation.

- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da000119.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da000119.html
- the amount to $14,000. 2. Arnold's Petition for Reconsideration ("Petition"), requests that the Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') specify the amounts assessed for each violation and state whether we arrived at the forfeiture amount by using any upward or downward adjustments. In this regard, Arnold argues that the forfeiture amount is excessive and should, at most, be $11,000 in accordance with Section 1.80 of the Rules. We calculated the forfeiture against Arnold as follows: $8,000 base amount for the ( 11.35 violation adjusted upward by $2,000 ($10,000); $3,000 base amount for the ( 73.1350 violations adjusted upward by $1,000 ($4,000); $1,000 base amount for the ( 73.1820 violation; and $1,000 for the ( 73.1870 violation.

- III. DISCUSSION Based on the evidence before us, we find that Telecorp Communications, Inc. apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 17.51 of the Commission's Rules by its failure to comply with the required lighting of antenna structures and by failing to notify FAA flight service stations of the outages. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), the base forfeiture amount for lighting and marking violations is $10,000. Applying this base amount to each of Telecorp's lighting violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $40,000. Telecorp violated the most serious of the Commission's antenna structure rules. As the Commission stated in its ATC decision, ``[u]nlit

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement"), the base amount is $3,000 for each of SpectraSite's three failures to file required forms or information (i.e., failure to file ownership change information). The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined

- the Act by a common carrier. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined that an appropriate base amount is $2,000 per violation. Application of that base amount to each of AT&T Wireless' violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $18,000. We

- Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $16,800 on WLDI, Inc. (``WLDI''), licensee of Station WCOM(FM), Bayamon, Puerto Rico, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and Section 73.3999 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). BACKGROUND On October 1, 1999, Chancellor Media Corporation, owner of WLDI, filed with the Commission an application to transfer control of WLDI to the Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico (``SBS''). WCOM(FM) broadcast the allegedly indecent material that is the subject of this order on October 18, 19 and 20, 1999. Just over one week later, on October 29, 1999,

- see no basis for finding otherwise in this case. In addition, although The KBOO Foundation has submitted a petition signed by listeners who support the ``Soundbox,'' we have previously ruled that neither the statute nor our case law permits a broadcaster to air indecent material merely because it is popular. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of 47 U.S.C. 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Commission's rules.

- and repeated. Citadel does not dispute that the song was played repeatedly throughout the spring and summer months of 2000. Although Citadel contends that it attempted to render the song suitable for broadcast through editing, we believe that the licensee failed to purge a number of indecent references. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Taking these facts into consideration and all of the factors required by Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we conclude that a forfeiture of $5,000 is warranted. IV.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, the NAL issued to Telmex International Ventures USA, Inc. IS CANCELLED. 4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to counsel for Telmex International Ventures USA, Inc., Gary M.

In its response to the NAL issued March 27, 2001, Shepler's requests remission of the monetary forfeiture. III. Discussion 9. The Enforcement Bureau assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 506(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commissions Rules, requires that the Commission, in examining Shepler's's response, take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- a forfeiture proceeding is not an appropriate vehicle for seeking reinstatement of a cancelled license. If Falcon wishes to seek reinstatement of the license, it should file a request for reinstatement with the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Falcon Radio, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for unauthorized operation of a radio station in willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Act.

In addition, Mr. Chan has submitted financial data demonstrating that he is unable to pay the proposed forfeiture. Accordingly, we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $7,500 forfeiture is warranted. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) proposed in the March 10, 1999 NAL issued to Kornwell Chan IS CANCELLED.

III. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the Atlanta Office assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- WBOT that are separate and distinct from the violations in this case. Consequently, Radio One does not have an overall history of compliance with the Commission's Rules, and a reduction of the forfeiture on this basis is not warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 13. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Radio One Licenses, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of twenty-one thousand five hundred dollars ($21,500) for violating Sections 11.35(a), 73.1125(e), 73.1350(c)(1), 73.1800(a), and 73.3526(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules. 14.

Finally, Hancock seeks reduction of the forfeiture amount, arguing that payment of the forfeiture would result in a financial hardship for the station. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, the Petition for Reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order in this proceeding IS hereby DENIED. 6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, KASA Radio Hogar, Inc. shall pay the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for the above-stated violations within 30 days of the release date of this Order.

Finally, Rego has submitted the first page of its federal tax return for 2000, presumably to demonstrate that it is unable to pay the proposed forfeiture.

Broadwing also asks that the Commission take into account its past record of compliance with respect to the 197 towers it owned, asserting that the Commission has never assessed a forfeiture against Broadwing in connection with its operation of these towers. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- Thus, SpectraSite is responsible for the acts and omissions of its monitoring service. Finally, although SpectraSite took expedient measures to correct the violation, its remedial actions, while commendable, are not a mitigating factor.7 IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,9 SpectraSite Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for violating Section 17.51(a) of the Rules by failing to exhibit red obstruction lighting from sunset to sunrise on April 5, 2001. 6.

- Field Office issued a $25,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture to Willis.2 Willis did not file a response.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act7 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,8 Star's petition for reconsideration of the April 11, 2001, Forfeiture Order IS DENIED and the Forfeiture Order IS AFFIRMED. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules9 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.10 Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications

- act or failure to act.17 In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 9. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information.19 The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase to this base amount pursuant to upward adjustment criteria contained in the rules and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. Specifically, three factors warrant the

- urge Commission licensees to consider their operational environment in complying with Section 90.403(e) of the Rules. In some circumstances, licensees may find it prudent to install more selective monitoring equipment to ensure that harmful interference to shared frequencies is avoided. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934,4 as amended, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 the captioned NAL issued to Statcom IS CANCELLED. 4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Statcom Communications Corp., 1324 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, New York 1 0302, and to its counsel, Pamela Gaary, Esq., Lukas, Nace, Gutierrez & Sachs, Chartered, 1111 19th Street,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01257.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01257.html
- the Commission stated in the MO&O that applications for renewal received more than 30 days after the expiration of the license may lead to ``more significant fines or forfeitures.'' In this case, Verizon operated without a valid license for over six months after the license expired. 5. The guidelines contained in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087, 17113 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''), specify a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation without an instrument of authorization for the service. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires the Commission to consider ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012582.html http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012582.pdf
- ceased, the issuance of a forfeiture in this case suggests that carriers must choose between seriously prejudicing the public by shutting down facilities that are not causing any harm, or risk being subjected to a forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,9 Section 1.80 of the Rules,10 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In examining WWC's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012591.html http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012591.pdf
- the staff. Here, there are more violations, but disclosure was voluntary. On balance, we conclude that a proposed forfeiture in the total amount of $20,000 is appropriate for the eight apparent violations involved here. IV. Ordering Clauses 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Northeast Utilities IS APPARENTLY LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $20,000, for apparently willfully and repeatedly violating Section 1.17 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.17. 11.

- that he would discontinue operating the radio station equipment, and has disposed of his equipment. According to Mr. Kramer, the proposed forfeiture amount is unfair in light of the other CB radio operators in the area. III. DISCUSSION 5. As the NAL states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,3 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''),4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012773.html http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012773.pdf
- has long held that remedial action to correct a violation, while commendable, will generally not nullify a forfeiture penalty. See Station KGVL, Inc., 42 FCC 2d 258, 259 (1973). On balance, we find that a $10,000 forfeiture should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,27 and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules,28 M.C. Allen Productions FORFEIT to the United States the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for: violating 47 U.S.C. 301 and 47 C.F.R. 73.1615 and 73.1620, regarding a licensee's operation during modification of facilities and a permittee's commencement of program tests; and for violating 47 C.F.R. 73.1125(e) by failing to maintain a local or toll-free number

- requests that the Commission revise the NAL to reflect the station manager's complete duties and to reflect that all station operations, other than accounts receivable, were not under the direction or oversight of Wilks. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- and the third party failed to notify it of the extinguished beacon. Eure asserts that the violation was not repeated because the FCC agent observed the violation on only one day, June 9, 2001. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Eure's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012831.html http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012831.pdf
- Section 399B of the Act, and Sections 73.503 and 73.3527 of the Commission's rules, respectively, by broadcasting announcements promoting a for-profit entity and for failing to maintain the station's public file. In light of the station's otherwise unblemished prior enforcement record, however, we find that a monetary sanction is not warranted to redress this rule violation. See Note to Section 1.80 (b)(4) of the Commission's rules.7 Instead, we believe that an admonishment is appropriate under the circumstances of this case. IV. Ordering Clauses 17. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Isothermal Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational station WNCW(FM), Spindale, North Carolina, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012862.html http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da012862.pdf
- for NEPC to give its full attention to all of its correspondence, including the two NOVs and the NAL issued by the Philadelphia Office on October 20, 2000; December 7, 2000; and March 22, 2001, respectively. The information provided by NEPC adequately explains why it may have been difficult for NEPC to respond to Commission correspondence. Therefore, pursuant to Section 1.80(i) of the Rules,4 we reduce the $7,000 forfeiture amount by the amount of the forfeiture assessed for NEPC's failure to respond to Commission correspondence ($4,000). 5. However, the fact remains that NEPC did fail to register its Forked River, New Jersey, antenna structure and it does not dispute the violation. Moreover, it has provided no basis upon which to reduce

- NAL on August 7, 2001 accompanied by documentation regarding his ability to pay the proposed forfeiture. After reviewing Mr. Pettrey's response, we conclude that cancellation of the proposed $10,000 forfeiture is warranted based on Mr. Pettrey's inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 the forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) proposed in the July 30, 2001 NAL issued to Jeffrey Alan Pettrey IS CANCELLED. 4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall be sent by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Jeffrey Alan Pettrey at 4014 West Main Street, Princeton, West Virginia

- as to the development of EAS. Finally, MAPA appears to seek reduction of the forfeiture amount, on the basis that that payment of the forfeiture would result in a financial hardship for the station. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

On September 10, 2001, the Commission's Dallas, Texas, Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 to Merrell.2 Merrell has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 Merrell IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for violating Section 301 and of the Act. 4.

Therefore, we conclude that a reduction of the forfeiture amount to $1,000 is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Rebus, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for violating Section 11.35(a) of the Rules by operating station WTAL(AM) without the required EAS equipment. 6.

- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of thirteen thousand dollars ($13,000) to Netcom for the noted violations. Netcom has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Netcom Technologies, Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of thirteen thousand dollars ($13,000) for failing to register its Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico antenna structure in willful and repeated violation of Section 17.4(a)(1) of the Rules and for failing to exhibit medium intensity obstruction lighting on its Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico antenna structure in

We can find no basis for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture and, therefore, affirm the $10,000 forfeiture assessed by the Forfeiture Order. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 12. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.

On December 13, 1999, the Wireless Bureau granted the request for waiver of Section 1.949 and the late-filed renewal application. 3. On October 17, 2000, the Chief of the Enforcement Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, issued a Notice of Apparent Liability in the amount of $5,000 to Econopage for operating paging station KNKJ435 without authorization. 4. On November 15, 2000, Econopage filed a response with the Commission in which it requests reduction of the forfeiture amount. Econopage asserts that the forfeiture amount should be reduced because it did submit its renewal application

- and his birth certificate. Although he did not timely file his second set of documents, our review of the documents revealed nothing responsive to the facts alleged in the NAL. Additionally, nothing in the documents persuades us to reduce the $10,000 forfeiture. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), Mr. Rowland IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Act. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules, within 30 days of the release of this Forfeiture Order. If the forfeiture

Thus, it appears that on or about October 18, 19, and 20, 1999, WLDI, Inc., violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming on Station WCOM(FM). Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective

- Isotropically Radiated Power (``EIRP'') is 63.4 dBm. Converting the radio station's EIRP of 63.4 dBm to an equivalent ERP results in an ERP of 61.3 dBm, which is greater than the 55 dBm ERP limit set by Section 101.31(b)(1)(vii) of the Rules. 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Califormula IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 301 of the Act. 8.

Id, 6 FCC Rcd at 4388. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the violations warrant the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay and such other matters as justice my require.''

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") does not establish a base forfeiture amount for failure to post the antenna structure registration number. The Commission has determined that an appropriate base amount is $2,000 per violation. Application of that base amount to each of VoiceStream's violations would lead to a proposed forfeiture of $24,000. We find

The proposed forfeiture amount of $5,000 is not excessive in the context of these revenues. Therefore, we affirm the forfeiture of $5,000. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Joe L.

- 1999, Checkpoint filed an application for renewal of the authorization for that station and requested a waiver of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules. On April 3, 2000, the Commission granted Checkpoint's waiver request and reinstated its authority to operate Station WPCA811. On December 14, 2000, the Enforcement Bureau, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to Checkpoint for operating without a valid license. In its response to the NAL, Checkpoint argues that the one-year statute of limitations in Section 503(b)(6)(B) prohibits the Commission from imposing the proposed forfeiture. In support of its assertion, Checkpoint states that it received Special Temporary

Based on AT&T's response, it is clear that AT&T did not engage in the operation at issue in the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture. 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued to AT&T IS RESCINDED. 3.

II. Discussion 4. As the NAL explicitly states, TPSD assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that El Mundo's ``petition for reconsideration'' filed November 22, 2000, IS GRANTED to the extent that we approve a reduction of the proposed forfeiture amount from $6,000 to $4,000. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, El Mundo Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of Stations WKAQ(AM), San Juan, PR, and WUKQ(AM), Ponce, PR, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00), for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules.

In addition, Oahu Aviation apologized for the false activations and promised to take ``every precaution to prevent any further disruption.'' III.

- 2, 2001 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Order, we impose a forfeiture of $7,000 on Infinity Radio License, Inc. (``Infinity''), licensee of Station WLLD(FM), Holmes Beach, Florida, for a willful violation of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. This action is taken pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. By Notice of Apparent Liability, DA 00-2724, released December 5, 2000 (``NAL''), we determined that certain material apparently broadcast over WLLD(FM) on September 11, 1999, was indecent. After considering the context, we opined that the language from two discrete excerpts from the live rap and hip hop concert, ``The Last Damn Show,'' contained patently offensive references to
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01540.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01540.html
- which supported the downward adjustments made to the proposed forfeitures. In both instances, the carriers submitted plans to eliminate their universal service debts to USAC and commenced paying down their arrearages prior to issuance of their respective Notices of Apparent Liability. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), North American Telephone Network, LLC is LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 254(d) and 47 C.F.R. 54.706. 10. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in 47 C.F.R. 1.80 within thirty days of the release of this Forfeiture Order.
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01542.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01542.html
- basis for additional notices of apparent liability. If Advanced continues to violate our universal service rules, such violations could result in future NALs proposing substantially greater forfeitures, or could result in issuance of a show cause order to revoke Advanced's operating authority. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Advanced Telecom. Network, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of forty-six thousand seven hundred dollars ($46,700) for violating the Act and the Commission's rules requiring regular contributions for universal service. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 1.80, within thirty days of this NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY, Advanced Telecom.

- necessary to foster compliance or serve as a deterrent.'' Contrary to TeleCorp's assertion, it has not demonstrated any good faith compliance with the lighting rules. Additionally, although it has apparently rectified its outstanding violations, we note that its corrective action will not excuse its past violations. After reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and TeleCorp's response to the NAL, we believe that the $80,000 forfeiture is warranted. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, TeleCorp IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $80,000 for willfully

- the day after its prior permit expired, and December 12, 2000, when it received an STA. Telemundo's apparent violation of Section 325(c) of the Act during this period is aggravated by its history of noncompliance with Section 325(c) between 1993 and 1995. Under these circumstances, we conclude that a monetary forfeiture appears warranted. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules require us to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay and such other matters as justice may require.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, which provides further guidance in establishing appropriate forfeiture amounts, does

- - TV6 transferred control of K06MU to Bear Valley Broadcasting, Inc. prior to having received Commission authorization to do so. Having received nothing to suggest otherwise, we conclude that the unauthorized transfer occurred and that imposition of the forfeiture is warranted. Ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that K.I.D.S. - TV6 FORFEIT to the United States the sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 310(d) and 47 C.F.R. 73.3540(a). Payment of the forfeiture shall be made by mailing a check or money order, payable to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Forfeiture Collection Section, Finance Branch,

- entitled to leniency because it cannot afford to pay a forfeiture. If we deem a forfeiture appropriate on the basis of facts unrelated to Skywave's financial circumstance, Skywave asserts, the Bureau should consider reducing the forfeiture amount. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999)(``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01672.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01672.html
- Act and Section 22.3 of the Rules. We, therefore, can find no basis for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture and affirm the Forfeiture Order. Consistent with a prior statement by the Commission, our forfeiture relates to the period before AA Beep filed its renewal application. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the ``Federal Communications

- in paragraph five above do not serve to reduce the proposed forfeiture in the NAL. In the each of the months at issue, SBC violated the Business Rules in other material respects, and the $8000 proposed forfeiture for each of those months will stand. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, SBC Communications SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of eighty eight thousand dollars ($88,000.00) for willfully or repeatedly violating the Commission's merger conditions in the SBC/Ameritech Merger Order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that payment shall be made in the manner provided for in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules within 30 days of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01682.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2001/da01682.html
- a forfeiture is appropriate in this case, and see no basis for departing from the base forfeiture amount. Thus, we propose a forfeiture in the amount of $3,000. This amount is consistent with at least one other case involving a similar transgression. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, PCS Partners, L.P. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Sections 1.2107(c) and 1.2107(f) of the Commission's rules.

- of the Rules requires SpectraSite to immediately notify the Commission of any change in tower ownership. Compliance with this rule obviates the need to send copies of violation notices to any entity other than the tower owner of record. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000) for violating Sections 17.57 and 17.4(g) of the Rules by failing to notify the Commission of changes in tower ownership, failing to post ASR numbers, and in one instance, failing to post the correct ASR number. 6.

- have records to support its assertions that its employees posted the ASR numbers in conformance with the Commission's Rules and its corporate compliance plan. 10. After reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that no further reduction of the proposed forfeiture is warranted. In conclusion, after reviewing Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, Section 1.80 of the Rules, the facts, and AT&T Wireless' opposition to the NAL, we believe that a $14,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, AT&T Wireless IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $14,000

- Station KPS323 did not cause interference or otherwise negatively affect the provision of any other telecommunications service; and (4) Page-Comm has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's rules. III.

ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Los Angeles' petition for reconsideration IS DENIED. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within thirty (30) days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the specified period, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act. Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the ``Federal

After reviewing T & W Communications's financial documentation, we find that the $6,500 proposed forfeiture is reasonable given its gross receipts or sales of $510,816 (1997), $406,814 (1998), $511,304 (1999), and $370,928 (through September of 2000). IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, T & W Communications IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $6,500 for violating Sections 17.4(a)(2) and 73.49 of the Rules requiring it to register its antenna structure and to enclose that antenna structure with an effective locked fence. 6.

- Field Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) to Christian Broadcasting for the noted violations. Christian Broadcasting has not filed a response. Therefore, we affirm this forfeiture. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Christian Broadcasting Corporation, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for failing to respond to Commission correspondence in willful violation of Section 1.89(b) of the Rules, and for failing to register the antenna structure of radio station WBOK in willful violation of Section 17.4(a) of the Rules.

Moreover, although some of the segments may have been short, this is not a case where there is a fleeting or passing sexual reference. Rather, this episode contains a series of segments with ongoing unmistakable sexual references. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective

- exigent matters has prevented my response until now.'' We conclude that American has not provided evidence of ``unavoidable circumstances'' that would explain its 17 month delay in responding to the NOV. We also reject American's argument that the Commission ``lacks the moral authority'' to impose forfeitures on its regulatees who violate the Rules. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules clearly authorize the Commission to assess forfeiture penalties on regulatees who violate the Act or the Rules. American's assertions concerning the Commission's ``moral authority'' provide no basis for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. Accordingly, we deny its petition for reconsideration. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act, and Section

See Station KGVL, Inc., 42 FCC 2d 258, 259 (1973). 7. Section 503(b) of the Act and 47 C.F.R. 1.80 both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of 47 U.S.C. 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate the Commission's rules. As explained

Having received nothing to suggest otherwise, we conclude that the unauthorized transfer occurred and that imposition of the forfeiture is warranted. Ordering clauses ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that Citicasters Co. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C. 310(d) and 47 C.F.R. 73.3540(a).

In its responses to the NOVs, VoiceStream indicated that it had corrected the violations by posting the antenna structures' ASR numbers. III. Discussion 4.

After reviewing his financial documentation, we find that the $4,000 forfeiture is reasonable given his gross income and gross sales. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules, within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

However, AA Beep provides no explanation for its change in position. We have reviewed this matter thoroughly and find no basis for rescinding the Forfeiture Order.

We have considered Callcomm's arguments and reviewed the record, and we conclude that the record is insufficient to support a finding that Callcomm operated an unlicensed radio station. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), the monetary forfeiture issued against Callcomm IS RESCINDED, and that pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Rules, Callcomm's Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED to the extent indicated herein and IS DENIED in all other aspects. 4.

Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture of $3,000 for violations of section 1.65.70 The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase in this base amount under certain upward adjustment criteria contained in the Rules and the Forfeiture Policy Statement: the egregiousness of the misconduct and SBC's ability to

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, that M&R Enterprises, Inc. is LIABLE for a FORFEITURE in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.3526 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.3526. 6. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Commission's
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-1887A1.html
- the questionable nature of the guest's material and could have used a time-delay device, does not relieve Rubber City of liability. Accordingly, for the reasons discussed above, we find that on November 29, 2001, WONE-FM apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

- issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'')2 in the amount of $21,000 to Fenix. Fenix has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``the Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 Fenix Broadcasting Corp. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $21,000 for willfully violating Sections 11.35(a), 17.51, and 73.49 of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules5 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is

- to the World Communications, Inc., supra (where $5,000 forfeiture was originally imposed for numerous noncompliant television underwriting announcements repeated over one-year period).25 This case is more serious, as it involves the broadcast of a larger number of advertisements on many occasions over a lengthy period of time. These factors warrant substantial compounding of the base forfeiture amount. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). However, we do not find any other type of sanction to be necessary or justified at this time. 32. Finally, Lincoln asserts that we should sanction Minority for filing frivolous pleadings that have abused the Commission's processes. We decline to do so. Minority's pleadings filed relative to our underwriting investigation were not unauthorized from a procedural standpoint. See, e.g., 47

- Sycamore also argues that the forfeiture should not be imposed because ``we have corrected all the problems referenced and we have made every attempt to operate in compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations.'' III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Sycamore's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the

Verizon waives any and all rights it may have to seek administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal or stay, or to otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Consent Decree and the Adopting Order, provided the Order adopts the Consent Decree without change, addition, or modification. 18. Verizon waives any rights it may have

- Commission authorization; that an application has been filed to assign the license for WLVA(AM);4 and that the towers at issue have been dismantled, correcting the violation. In neither response does Madison dispute the violations. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- the average broadcast listener, we find that the material broadcast on KNDD(FM), in context, is patently offensive.13 This material appears to be actionably indecent because it was broadcast after 6 a.m. and within the period when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience. 12. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

- mitigating Family Life's claim, even if true, that its inability to afford to hire properly trained personnel contributed to its apparent rule violation. Noncommercial licensees are responsible for complying with Section 399B of the Act. See, e.g., Minority Television Project, Inc. (DA 02-1945), ___ FCC Rcd ___ (released August 9, 2002). Consequently, we believe a monetary sanction appears warranted. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules specifies that the base amount for an underwriting rule violation is $2,000. In this case, we believe that no adjustment upward or downward is warranted and that the base forfeiture amount is appropriate. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). IV. Ordering Clauses 8. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a monetary sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, pursuant

Finally, Tarrant argues that the forfeiture should be reduced on the basis of the licensee's history of overall compliance. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')2 Section 1.80 of the Rules,3 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

To the extent, if any, that Groveton seeks to rely on its efforts to correct this violation, we note that remedial action, although commendable, will not nullify a forfeiture penalty.4 7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,6 Groveton Broadcasting Group, Inc.

Consequently, based on our review of Citadel's response in light of the applicable case law, we conclude that Citadel did not violate the statute or the Commission's indecency rule through its broadcast of the ``radio edit'' version of ``The Real Slim Shady.'' IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 13. Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 0.111(a)(7), 0.311 and 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111(a)(7), 0.311 and 1.80(f)(3), IT IS ORDERED THAT the Bureau's June 1, 2001, NAL against Citadel Broadcasting Company, licensee of Station KKMG(FM), Pueblo, Colorado, is hereby RESCINDED. 14.

We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received a complaint that KNDD(FM) broadcast indecent material on May 30, 2001 and on June 1, 2001. The complainant described the material broadcast, which, the complainant alleged, concerned whether a penis could be used to lift or pull objects. After reviewing the complaint, we issued a letter of inquiry to Entercom. Entercom submitted a response,

- and lighting. Concilio further requests that we give special consideration to its non-profit status, although it has not submitted any information suggesting that its financial situation would make payment of the forfeiture difficult. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case is being assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining Concilio's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

However, we do not believe a monetary sanction is necessary to redress the instant rule violations, and instead conclude that an admonishment is sufficient at this time. See Note to 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). IV. Ordering Clauses 12. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Calvary Bible College, licensee of noncommercial educational station KLJC(FM), Kansas City, Missouri, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 399b, and Section 73.503 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.503. 13.

- January 8, 2002 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Forfeiture Order, we impose a forfeiture of $14,000 on Emmis FM License Corp. of Chicago (``Emmis''), licensee of Station WKQX(FM), Chicago, Illinois, for willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. We take this action pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(D) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received letters dated March 20, 2000, and May 15, 2000, complaining about material aired on Station WKQX(FM) on each of those dates during the ``Mancow Morning Madhouse'' (``Mancow'') program. The March complaint alleged that the station broadcast a conversation between 8:13 a.m. and 8:16 a.m., which the complainant deemed indecent. The May complaint alleged that
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-272A1.html
- although the complainant originated the call, the on-air personality could not reasonably have presumed that the complainant had the awareness required by the rule. Therefore, Entercom's recording of the conversation and subsequent broadcast thereof without sufficient notice violated Section 73.1206 of the rules.2 7. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, without regard to any specific
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-2793A1.html
- to and scammed and that the station was a week away from dismantling when the FCC visited the station the second time. Finally, Mr. Muoz submits that neither he nor his church has the funds to pay the $10,000 forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 the NAL issued to United States Cellular Corporation IS CANCELLED. 4.

The Commission received complaints that WKQX(FM) broadcast indecent material on March 6, 2001, March 7, 2001 and May 17, 2001 between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. during the ``Mancow's Morning Madhouse'' (``Mancow'') program. The complainant submitted a tape of each of the Mancow programs containing the allegedly indecent material. After reviewing the complainant's tapes, we issued letters

- station personnel. In addition, Oberlin asserts that payment of the proposed $8,000 forfeiture would impose a financial hardship on it and submits financial information for 1999, 2000 and 2001 in support of this assertion. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Oberlin's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3032A1.html
- other day, and that locks were installed on the date of inspection and have been in place since that date. Therefore, Mitchell argues that there was no willful or repeated violation of Section 73.49. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Mitchell's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3070A1.html
- applicable provisions of the Commission's rules. Under these circumstances, we find that complainant's telephone call falls within the ``call-in'' presumption of Section 73.1206, such that notice is not required in this case.3 We, therefore, conclude that cancellation of the proposed forfeiture is appropriate. III. ORDERING CLAUSES 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 504(b) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), the monetary forfeiture issued against Entercom New Orleans License, LLC IS HEREBY CANCELLED. 5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order shall be sent by Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested, to Entercom New Orleans License, LLC, c/o John C. Donlevie, Executive Vice President, Entercom New Orleans License, LLC, 401 City Avenue, Suite 409, Bala Cynwyd,

- FM radio station operating on that frequency was 70 miles away and thus it believed that that station was beyond the range of possible interference.18 Finally, California Speedway argues that it has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's rules. DISCUSSION 10. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,19 Section 1.80 of the Rules,20 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.21 In examining California Speedway's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violation, the degree of culpability, any history

- the equipment has been installed and the EAS is working. Finally, Faith Mountain requests cancellation of the forfeiture because of its inability to pay, and provides certain financial information in support of its request. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was proposed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In examining Faith Mountain's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- is ``financially struggling'' and requests reconsideration of the proposed forfeiture amount. In addition, Beacon states that it has discharged the former general manager, and that it is attempting to comply with all FCC rules. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In examining Beacon's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3174A1.html
- its purported inability to pay that amount and provides as supporting documentation its tax returns for the most recent three-year period along with audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Bestov Broadcasting's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3218A1.html
- limits. 17. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Americom willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1.1310 of the Rules by exceeding the RFR MPE limits for the general public and failing to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. 18. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')15 does not specify a maximum base forfeiture for violation of the RFR MPE limits described in Section 1.1310.16 However, the Commission recently determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, noting the public safety nature of the rules.17 19. In assessing
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-3239A1.html
- contends that imposition of all or part of the forfeiture would cause a severe financial hardship. In support of this contention, Rev. Dr. Nicolas submits federal income tax returns for tax years 1998, 1999, and 2000. After reviewing the financial documentation presented, in accord with the discretion provided to us by Section 504(b) of the Act,4 and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules,5 we conclude that reduction of the $10,000 forfeiture to $1,000 is warranted in this case. We have reviewed Rev. Dr. Nicolas's remaining arguments and conclude that they do not support further mitigation or cancellation of the forfeiture. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act6 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,7 Rev.

- the $3,200 forfeiture proposed in the NAL for this violation. However, Truth argues that the $5,600 forfeiture proposed for failure to comply with AM fencing requirements should be substantially reduced, if not eliminated entirely. III. DISCUSSION 5. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Truth's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the

- Office, a local police officer observed the WAAA tower at about 1:00 a.m. on October 17, 2002. The police officer reported to the Norfolk Office that the WAAA tower still had no obstruction lighting. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- watts. Additionally, McCreary stated that he would like to resolve the monetary forfeiture and offered to let the Commission take possession of his radio apparatus in lieu of payment of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The Enforcement Bureau assessed the forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-336A1.html
- factors exist beyond those already considered in the NAL for further reducing the amount of the forfeiture. Based on the totality of the information before us, we conclude that a forfeiture in the total amount of $5,500 is appropriate.10 V. ORDERING CLAUSES 15. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80, that Northeast Utilities IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of five thousand, five hundred dollars ($5,500) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 C.F.R. 1.17. 16.

- of being the licensee of Station WJFD(FM). While this does not excuse a violation, this factor is mitigating when we determine an appropriate forfeiture amount. 15. Thus, we find that on four different dates Edmund Dinis apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

In his petition for reconsideration, Mr. Brothers does not dispute that he willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act. However, he asks that we cancel the $10,000 forfeiture because of, among other things, his inability to pay. The financial documentation that he provides demonstrates his inability to pay and

- the Commission's Miami, Florida, Resident Agent Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $7,000 to Lightning for the noted violations.3 Lightning has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,4 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 Lightning IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules6 within 30 days of the release of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-453A1.html
- Bureau in this matter. Alternatively, NIE claims that it would be an extreme financial hardship for it to pay the forfeiture proposed in light of its small profit margin over the last three years. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999). In examining NIE's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-574A1.html
- a $4,000 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') to National Cable for the noted violation.2 National Cable has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 National Cable IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully violating Section 1.89(b) of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules5 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-585A1.html
- licensees are responsible for their agents' acts and omissions.4 Turning to WHNY(AM)'s claim of remedial action, we cite to another well-established FCC position: remedial action, although commendable, will not nullify a forfeiture penalty.5 IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,7 C.W.H. Broadcasting, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,500 for willfully violating Sections 17.4(a)(2), 17.51(a), and 73.49 of the Rules. 10. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.808 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-622A1.html
- the rule includes any word or words spoken during the call. Heftel Broadcasting-Contemporary, Inc., 52 FCC 2d 1005, 1006 (1975). The licensee does not dispute that it did not give any notice to the complainant before WWDC-FM broadcast the complainant's voice mail greeting. Hence, we find apparent liability. 7. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew it was taking the action in
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-677A1.html
- that the complained of material was broadcast when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience. By broadcasting this material on three separate occasions - on March 6, 2001, March 7, 2001, and May 17, 2001- WKQX(FM) apparently violated the prohibitions against broadcast indecency. 15. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-717A1.html
- that the violation was willful or repeated; that the violation was immediately corrected upon being brought to its attention; and that it has an overall history of compliance and showed good faith by voluntary disclosing information to the Enforcement Bureau. III. DISCUSSION 7. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 506(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining KYS's response, Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules requires that the Commission take into account certain downward adjustment criteria, including minor violation, good
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-722A1.html
- of his Government of Puerto Rico income tax returns for 1998, 1999 and 2000 and documents indicating that he is unemployed. Rodriguez also argues that his violations are mitigated by his remedial action and his status as a first offender. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Rodriguez's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-729A1.html
- of Section 1206: Broadcast of Telephone Conversations, 3 FCC Rcd 5461, 5463 (1988). 7. In this case, we find that Clear Channel apparently violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting Mr. Shell's conversation without giving him prior notice of its intent to broadcast such conversation. 8. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,4 and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules,5 each provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-730A1.html
- find that it is irrelevant whether the individuals requested to view specific documents from the public inspection file or whether they simply asked to see the public inspection file. M&R's failure to provide access to its public inspection file upon request is a violation of the Commission's rules. 8. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in

- CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Act,11 and Section 1.106 of the Rules,12 Eure Family Limited Partnership's petition for reconsideration of the December 5, 2001, Forfeiture Order IS DENIED and the issuance of the $8,000 forfeiture IS AFFIRMED. 12. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.13 Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-882A1.html
- the monetary forfeiture for this violation. 9. In conclusion, after subtracting $3,000 for the Section 17.4(a)(2) of the Rules violation that we are dismissing in this Order, we find Willis Broadcasting liable for a $22,000 forfeiture. IV. Ordering Clauses 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),16 and Sections 1.80(i) and 1.106 of the Rules,17 Willis Broadcasting Corporation's petition for reconsideration IS GRANTED to the extent indicated herein and IS DENIED in all other respects. 11. Payment of the $22,000 forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules,18 within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid

- is required or that New World violated the rule. New World does not dispute the EAS violation. Therefore, New World contends that the forfeiture amount attributable to the Section 73.1400 violation should be rescinded. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- compliance with the Commission's rules.5 Florida Power contends that in this case, its tower was not dark. Rather, Florida Power states that the tower was lit so that aircraft could see it after sunset. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act'')6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of twenty two thousand dollars ($22,000) to Patrick for the noted violations.2 Patrick has not filed a response.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 Jamie Patrick Broadcasting, Ltd., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of twenty two thousand dollars ($22,000) for failing to respond to Commission correspondence, failing to install and operate EAS equipment, and failing to maintain a public inspection file in willful violation of Sections 1.89(b), 11.35(a), and 73.3526(a)(2) of the Rules. 4. Payment of the

- and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''17 11. Excessive cable television signal leakage in the aeronautical bands constitutes harmful interference to distress and safety frequencies.18 Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')19 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,20 the base forfeiture amount for violations of rules relating to distress and safety frequencies is $8,000 per violation. Application of the base amount to the captioned Charter subsidiaries' violations results in a base forfeiture amount of $8,000 for each. The total base forfeiture

- under the Act. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''12 11. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')13 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,14 the base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information (e.g., failure to file an antenna registration form when there is a change in the antenna structure ownership information) is $3,000.15 The Forfeiture Policy Statement does not establish a base forfeiture
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2002/DA-02-968A1.html
- on three separate occasions without Commission authorization, as described above. We have further determined that BroadStreet is apparently liable for forfeitures in the amount of $5000 for each of the violations, resulting in a total forfeiture amount of $15,000. 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, and authority delegated by section 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.311, that BroadStreet Communications, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $15,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 214(a) of the Act20 and sections 63.61, 63.63, 63.71, and 63.505 of the Commission's rules

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act4 and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 Central Transport IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $17,000 for willfully violating Section 303(q) of the Act and Sections 17.4(a) and 1.89(b) of the Rules. 4.

For these reasons, we find that on April 6, 2001, WAZX-AM and WAZX-FM apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. 13. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Section 1.80 of the Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture of $3,000 for violations of Section 1.65.60 The circumstances of this case, however, appear to justify a substantial increase in the base amount for a Section 1.65 violation under the upward adjustment criteria contained in Section 1.80 and the Forfeiture Policy Statement.61 First, AT&T Wireless's conduct here

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, ASC Telecom, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $1,440,000 for willful or repeated violations of Sections 226(b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), and (b)(1)(C)(i) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 226(b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), (b)(1)(C)(i), and Sections 64.703(a)(1), 64.703(a)(2), 64.703(a)(3)(i), and 64.703(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.703(a)(1), 64.703(a)(2), 64.703(a)(3)(i),

- refusal to offer shared transport for intraLATA traffic. 16. For all of the reasons we have discussed above, we find that SBC's conduct justifies the forfeiture amount that we proposed in the NAL. We therefore affirm the $6,000,000 forfeiture amount originally proposed. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 17. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act,72 and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,73 SBC Communications SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of six million dollars ($6,000,000.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's merger conditions in the SBC/Ameritech Merger Order. 18.

- the instances cited in the NAL and requests that the Commission reduce the total base forfeiture amount to $6,500. AT&T Wireless also argues that the Commission's decision in the NAL to triple the aggregate base forfeiture amount was unwarranted. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,13 Section 1.80 of the Rules,14 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

- the forfeiture proposed in the NAL. We therefore issue a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $1,107,500 against 21st Century Fax(es) Limited for willfully or repeatedly violating section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act and the Commission's rules and orders.27 V. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that 21st Century Fax(es) Limited IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $1,107,500 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), section 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders. 11.

- 19, 2001, the Commission released the referenced NAL against Callais in the amount of $133,000. Callais filed its response to the NAL on March 5, 2001, requesting cancellation of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 12. The Commission assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),21 Section 1.80 of the Rules,22 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act23 requires that, in examining Callais's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- consumer-grade portable receiver to tune into the station does not meet the transmission system monitoring and control requirements of Section 73.1400. Based on the evidence, we further find that A-O apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1400 of the Rules by failing to have adequate transmission system monitoring and control. 22. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')28 does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits for transmitting tower antennas in Section 1.1310.29 However, the FCC has set a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for failure to comply with other public safety related rules, such as prescribed antenna structure lighting

(``DBI''), Aubrey Smith (``Smith''), and Sam and Gracie Zamarron (``the Zamarrons'') without prior authorization of the Commission; and for its willful and repeated failure to respond to official Commission correspondence ordering it to respond. 2. Also, pursuant to Section 1.80(g) of the Commission's rules,4 this Order constitutes notice of opportunity for hearing to determine whether, in addition to or as an alternative to license revocation and/or cease and desist order, monetary forfeitures should be imposed against RMI for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules. II. Background 3. The licensee of record for Station WMGA(AM) is RMI. However, we

- amount.15 Moreover, in view of the intentional nature of Peninsula's current violations, we do not find that Peninsula's past broadcast record warrants a downward adjustment. Accordingly, we find that the proposed $140,000 forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. III. ORDERING CLAUSES 9. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, Peninsula Communications, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of one hundred forty thousand dollars ($140,000) for violating Section 301 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 301, by operating the seven captioned translator stations subsequent to midnight May 19, 2001. 10.

- ability to pay in determining the amount of a forfeiture so that forfeitures against ``large or highly profitable entities are not considered merely an affordable cost of doing business.''52 These factors together persuade us that we should propose the statutory maximum forfeiture. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 23. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act,53 and section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules,54 SBC Communications is HEREBY NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of six million dollars ($6,000,000.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's merger conditions in the SBC/Ameritech Merger Order. 24.

- that a reduction of the forfeiture amount is warranted.9 We have reviewed the response in light of the statutory factors set forth above, and find that AWS and Vanguard have justified a reduction of the proposed forfeiture penalty from $9,000 to $3,000. IV.

Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("the Act"),2 and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules ("the Rules"),3 the Enforcement Bureau found Madison liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $12,000 for willful violation of Sections 17.4(g) (failure to post its antenna structure registration numbers) and 17.50 (failure to maintain specified painting on its five antenna structures) of the Rules.4 II. BACKRGOUND 2. On February 28, 2002, a Commission agent
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/DA-03-770A1.html
- issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'')3 in the amount of $21,000 to Ramh. Ramh has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``the Act''),4 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 Ramh Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $21,000 for willfully violating Sections 73.1125, 73.1350, and 73.1400 of the Rules and willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1560 of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules6 within 30 days of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/DA-03-780A1.html
- that the forfeiture was proposed in error and the NAL must be rescinded because the antenna structure was surrounded by a protective property fence, and therefore was not accessible to the general public. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case is being assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

If such conduct is considered by the Bureau in determining an appropriate sanction, SBC will not be estopped from litigating the issues of whether such conduct or the facts involved in such conduct actually violated the Act or the Commission's rules, the merits of SBC's conduct, or the relevance or weight to be given such conduct under section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. 18. SBC's decision to enter into this Consent Decree is expressly contingent upon issuance of an Order that is consistent with this Consent Decree, and which adopts the Consent Decree without change, addition or modification. 19.

Finally, Mr. Hyppolite asserts that he is unable to pay the proposed $10,000 forfeiture and provides financial information in support of his request for reduction of the proposed forfeiture to $2,000. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- records of the antenna structure's ownership, it promptly took steps to remedy the violation. Finally, East Tennessee submits that its overall history of compliance with the Commission's rules warrants reduction of the forfeiture amount. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999).

I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we grant complaints from Reverend Michael G. Taylor and from Catherine P. Henry2 and find that AMFM Radio Licenses, LLC (``AMFM''), licensee of Station WWDC-FM, Washington, DC, apparently violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999, by willfully and repeatedly airing indecent material over the station during its May 7 and 8, 2002, broadcasts of the

In this Notice of Apparent Liability For Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,3 we grant, in part, and deny, in part, complaints from the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and Robert E. Amling4 alleging that, during its broadcast of the ``Opie & Anthony Show'' program on August 15, 2002, over Station WNEW(FM), New York, New York, the station licensee, Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc. (``Infinity Broadcasting ''), aired

- failing to adequately take measures to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits. We also find that the four licensees violated our rules by failing to file any Environmental Assessment statements with the Commission although each was required to do so by September 1, 2000.24 16. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')25 does not specify a base forfeiture for violation of the RFR maximum permissible exposure limits in Section 1.1310.26 However, we recently determined that an appropriate base forfeiture amount for violation of the RFR MPE limits is $10,000, noting the public safety nature of the rules.27 17. We propose the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-264A1.html
- under the Act. In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''26 16. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')27 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,28 the base forfeiture amount for failure to comply with prescribed lighting and marking requirements is $10,000 for each violation. The base forfeiture amount for failure to file required forms or information (e.g., failure to file an antenna registration form) is $3,000 for each
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-267A1.html
- to our Do-Not-Call requirements, as described above. We have further determined that AT&T is apparently liable in the amount of $10,000 for each of the violations of Section 64.1200(e)(vi) of the Commission's rules, for a total of $780,000. 16. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that AT&T Corporation IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $780,000 for willful or repeated violations of Section 64.1200(e)(vi) as described in the paragraphs above and detailed in Appendix A.24 17.

We do not address Infinity's arguments regarding the constitutionality of revocation or imposition of separate forfeitures for multiple violations because we do not impose those sanctions in this case. IV. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSES 8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80, Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the sum of twenty-seven thousand five-hundred dollars ($27,500) for willfully and repeatedly violating 18 U.S.C. 1464 and 47 C.F.R. 73.3999. 9. Payment of the forfeiture may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Forfeiture Collection Section, Finance Branch,

- cannot now penalize A-O for violation of the RFR rules after having reviewed A-O's RFR analysis; and that the Commission ``articulated no rational basis'' for specifying a $10,000 base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 73.1310 of the Rules. III. Discussion 10. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,12 Section 1.80 of the Rules,13 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining A-O's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-43A1.html
- the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 7. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 20.18(d) of the Rules.19 However, we think that a substantial proposed forfeiture for this violation is warranted. Violation of the E911 rules is extremely serious because these rules are intended to promote safety of life. The Phase I requirements set forth in Section 20.18(d) have been
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/FCC-03-67A1.html
- we find that WebNet has failed to identify facts or circumstances to persuade us that there is any basis for reconsidering the WebNet NAL. Further, WebNet has not shown any mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the forfeiture penalty. V. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), that WebNet Communications, Inc. SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of $1,200,000 for violating section 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 258, as well as the Commission's rules and orders governing preferred carrier conversions.82 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order of Forfeiture SHALL BE SENT by

- that children may have been in the audience at the time that the material at issue was broadcast on January 9, 2002 and, therefore, the material broadcast is legally actionable. By broadcasting this material, WKRK-FM apparently violated the prohibitions in the Act and the Commission's rules against broadcast indecency. 12. Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R 1.80, both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

Therefore, although we find that some of VIA's apparent violations occurred outside the one-year statute of limitations, we propose forfeitures here only for the violations which occurred within the last year. 12. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines24 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,25 the base forfeiture amount for importation or marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. In this case, VIA imported and marketed two unauthorized models of CPU boards. We find that a forfeiture amount of $7,000 is warranted for each unauthorized model.26 Accordingly, we are proposing

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,18 Saga Communications of New England, LLC, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of $4,000 for willfully violating section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules. 9.

Therefore, we reduce the forfeiture to one thousand dollars ($1,000). 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended, and Sections 1.80(i) and 1.106 of the Rules,2 Business Cell's Petition for Reconsideration IS GRANTED, and the $8,000 forfeiture is reduced to one thousand dollars ($1,000) for Business Cell's willful and repeated violation of Section 17.51(b) of the Rules. 3.

- 20, 2004. In its response, VPM did not dispute the NAL's findings. Rather, VPM sought cancellation of the proposed forfeiture based on its inadvertence, remedial efforts, inability to pay, and history of compliance. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.5 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3250A1.html
- services ``in a manner reasonably designed to reach those who qualify'' for those services. However, as discussed above, Pend Oreille has shown mitigating circumstances sufficient to warrant a reduction of the forfeiture penalty to $20,000. 13. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) that Pend Oreille shall forfeit to the United States government the sum of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 214(e)(1)(B) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 214(e)(1)(B), and Sections 54.405(b) and 54.411(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 54.405(b), 54.411(d) as discussed in the paragraphs above. 14. Payment of the

- the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''23 12. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violation of Section 20.18(d) of the Rules.24 However, we think that a substantial proposed forfeiture for this violation is warranted. Violation of the E911 rules is extremely serious because these rules are intended to promote safety of life.25 Further, the Phase I requirements set forth in Section 20.18(d) have

- Crown states that during the period between the antenna structure inspection and issuance of the NAL, Crown painted the antenna structure, including the cables, prior to receiving notice of the violation from the Commission. III. DISCUSSION 6. The forfeiture amount in this case was proposed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Crown's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the

- NAL (``response'') wherein it challenged only the public inspection file violation and sought a reduction or cancellation in the proposed forfeiture because of an inability to pay and history of no prior offenses. II. DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').5 In examining Paulino's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-3267A1.html
- to a licensed U.S. broadcast station. Based on the record before us, we thus find that, by delivering cross-border programming to Station XEMO, Uniradio undermined one of the primary objectives of Section 325 of the Act and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated the express terms and conditions of its Section 325(c) permit. 8. Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Act,26 and Section 1.80(a)(2) of the Rules,27 provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to substantially comply with the terms and conditions of a Commission issued permit, license or other authorization shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The forfeiture amount for entities other than broadcast licensees or permittees, cable television operators and common carriers may not exceed $11,000 for each violation

- Woodland requested a reduction of the forfeiture amount because it imposes an economic burden on the licensee. Woodland enclosed its tax returns from 2001 to 2003 in support of its economic burden claim. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- 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.

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 405 of Act and Section 1.106 of the Rules, WCVC's petition for reconsideration of the Bureau's Forfeiture Order issued on February 4, 2004, IS DENIED and the issuance of the $7,000 forfeiture IS AFFIRMED. 5. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act4, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,5 VIA Technologies, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules. 4.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $4,000.00 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation29 and provides that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act30 and 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules,31 which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''32 Based upon the facts and circumstances presented here, in particular because this appears to be an isolated violation, we find the

- we believe it appropriate that Cumulus be assessed a monetary forfeiture. The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000.00 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation15 and provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''),16 and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules,17 which include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''18 Although we commend Cumulus' efforts to remind its Myrtle Beach on-air employees of the obligations of section 73.1206, Cumulus' subsequent remedial

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication.17 We find that the lack of a response to a Bureau LOI in the circumstances presented here warrants a substantial increase to this base amount.

- public inspection file for station KMDY-FM during normal business hours and had apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125(a) of the Rules by failing to maintain a full-time management presence at station KMDY-FM. I. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining Moody's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- and that ``the forfeiture will simply reduce the amount available to creditors when the bankruptcy is ultimately concluded.''7 North American also denies that the violation was willful, characterizing it as an ``isolated incident . . . result[ing] from inadvertency on the part of the station's staff. ''8 III. DISCUSSSION 5. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''9 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $4,000 base forfeiture for exceeding authorized power limits.10 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the

- and the dignity of parties whose conversations may be recorded for simultaneous or later broadcast.28 These considerations are particularly germane to the facts at issue here.29 Under these circumstances, we find that an apparent violation of section 73.1206 and that it is appropriate to propose that AMFM be assessed a monetary forfeiture. 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.30 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation.31 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also specifies

DISCUSSION 8. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),8 Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Citadel's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2004/DA-04-4025A1.html
- Atlanta Office's measurements were inaccurate, that the company undertook immediate and prompt remedial measures, and, finally, that the leakage problems, for the most part, were attributable to customers premises equipment and inside wiring. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,

In its response to the NAL, which includes a declaration made under the penalty of perjury by the station's chief engineer, Alfred Hammond, JMK seeks cancellation or reduction of the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- of approximately 12% reduced to approximately 4.5% of gross revenues). We do not reach the cases cited by SM Radio in support of its request for reconsideration because of the reasons discussed below. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended (``Act''), 5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.7 In examining SM Radio's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

- its existing towers cannot be repainted because the towers lead paint if scraped could be harmful to the surrounding environment, and because its efforts to relocate to a new location have been hampered by environmental-related concerns as well. III. DISCUSSION 6. The NAL assessed the proposed forfeiture amount in this case in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- In a separate note attached to its response, Caprice also states that it cannot afford to pay $4,000 and requests that the Commission consider reducing the forfeiture amount on that basis as well. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules6, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- findings. FFP nevertheless sought cancellation of the proposed forfeiture based upon its good faith efforts to comply with the subject registration requirements, after the Tampa Office notified FFP of the lack of registration. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,

In support of his argument of financial hardship, Mr. Alusma includes various financial documents. III. DISCUSSION 6. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''4 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $10,000 base forfeiture for operation without a license.5 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount for the operation at an unauthorized location or frequency of $4,000.22 However, we think that a substantial upward adjustment of this base forfeiture amount is warranted.

In 2003, for example, the Enforcement Bureau took approximately 80 EAS enforcement actions. Nonetheless, some broadcasters have failed to install or properly maintain EAS equipment. The base forfeiture amount set in the Forfeiture Policy Statement94 and section 1.80 of the rules95 for an EAS violation is $8,000. We seek comment on whether we should increase the base amount or otherwise impose higher forfeitures in this area, and on whether there are additional ways to better ensure compliance. We also seek comment on whether we should seek legislation from Congress to increase the maximum forfeitures in this area from

DISCUSSION 4. In The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, the Commission adopted guidelines for assessing base forfeiture amounts for violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, and ``retain[ed] the discretion to take action in specific cases as warranted.''9 The forfeiture guidelines establish a $10,000 base forfeiture for operation of unauthorized transmissions.10 In assessing the forfeiture, the Commission may adjust the

Based on our review of the facts and circumstances in

In the instant case, we find that ACR apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a) of the Rules, by advertising the PLB-200 to the general public, prior to certification without the disclaimer notice required by Section 2.803(c).

Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')20 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,21 the base forfeiture amount for marketing unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per violation. Thus, the total base forfeiture amount for all of Pilot's violations is $91,000. 16. We are concerned, however, with the pattern of apparent violations here.

The proposed forfeiture amounts in this case were assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,37 Section 1.80 of the Rules,38 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').39 In examining the Mt.

On February 27, 2002, Entercom filed a response to the Bureau's NAL8 in accordance with Section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's rules.9 Entercom contended that there is a clear absence of any sexual or excretory context or import in the complained-of material because there is no discussion about the sexual or excretory functions of the male genitalia.10 Thus, Entercom argued that the material was not patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, and

- whether these rules and procedures should be modified or eliminated.3 REVIEW OF RELEVANT RULES The Commission identified the following rule parts containing regulations administered by the Enforcement Bureau for review and comment in the Public Notice: Part 1 - Practice and Procedure - Sections 1.711 to 1.736 set forth rules for the filing of formal complaints against common carriers. Section 1.80 addresses forfeiture penalties applicable to common carriers [and others]. These rules are not competition-related, and thus we cannot find that they are ``no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition.'' Accordingly, we find that these rules should be retained. Rules 1.711 through 1.736 set forth the procedures for formal complaint proceedings against common carriers.
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-1907A1.html
- act or failure to act.16 In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''17 10. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication.18 QuickLink's failure to respond occurred in the face of numerous attempts by Bureau staff to call QuickLink's attention to the importance of responding to the

- of the Enforcement Bureau. The above- captioned matter should have been closed with Mega Communications' payment of the $10,000 proposed forfeiture. Therefore, we cancel the $10,000 forfeiture issued to Mega Communications in the June 21, 2005 Forfeiture Order. 2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended,4 and Sections 0.11, 0.311, 1.80(f)(4) and 1.113 of the Commission's Rules,5 the forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) issued to Mega Communications of St. Petersburg Licensee, L.L.C. in the June 21, 2005 Forfeiture Order IS CANCELED. 3.

The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, 8 Section 1.80 of the Rules,9 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.10 In examining Hightech's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- act or failure to act.28 In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we consider the factors enumerated in section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.''29 11. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication.30 Blackstone's failures to respond occurred despite attempts by Bureau staff to call Blackstone's attention to the importance of responding to LOIs.

III. DISCUSSION 9. The forfeiture amount in this case was proposed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),5 Section 1.80 of the Rules,6 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- since 1999 and had received three subsequent requests for information regarding the antenna structure registration. On April 7, 2005, Forsberg submitted a response to the NAL requesting a reduction of the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 8. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement''). In examining Forsberg's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-3269A1.html
- and that it believed in good faith that it had updated all of its ASR's. Finally, ACS argues that it has a history of overall compliance with the Commission's Rules and, therefore, is entitled to a reduced forfeiture amount. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,6 Section 1.80 of the Rules,7 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.8 In examining ACS's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- accurate; that the fence surrounding the KULE(AM) tower was effective; that the size of the gap in the fence is overstated in the NAL; and that, given Butterfield's recent compliance history with KULE(AM), a $7,000 forfeiture is not warranted. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,4 Section 1.80 of the Rules,5 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.6 In examining Butterfield's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- dollars ($21,000) for the apparent willful and repeated violation of Sections 11.35, 73.840, 73.845, and 73.1660(a)(2) of the Rules.2 Halifax filed a response to the NAL requesting partial cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture on January 7, 2005. III. DISCUSSION 4. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act,3 Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''),4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'').

- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-336A1.html
- to the contrary, we decline to cancel or reduce the proposed forfeiture on the basis of inability to pay. 12. We have considered the forfeiture amount and we have examined Best Wok's petition for reconsideration pursuant to the statutory factors prescribed by Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act,7 and in conjunction with the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines,8 as well. As a result of our review, we conclude that Best Wok willfully violated Section 301 of the Act and find that neither cancellation nor reduction of the monetary forfeiture is appropriate. IV.

Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules16 authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act.17 In exercising such authority, we are to take into account ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree

B. Proposed Action 10. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.28 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements.29 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-350A1.html
- that it has discharged that engineer and replaced him with a qualified individual. Kimtron maintains that it has a history of compliance with Commission Rules and requests that the proposed forfeiture be cancelled. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''),3 Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $4,000 to Mr. Westcott.2 Mr. Westcott has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),3 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules,4 Paul D. Westcott IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully and repeatedly failing to respond to Commission requests for information about his station. 4.

- cancellation or reduction of the assessed forfeiture based on his inability to pay. Mr. Salter, who asserts he is retired and living on Social Security and fixed retirement benefits, provided copies of his tax returns to support his claim. III. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, 7 Section 1.80 of the Rules,8 and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.9 In examining Mr. Salter's petition, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that BigZoo.com Corporation SHALL FORFEIT to the United States government the sum of $20,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's rules. 8.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules,1 we find that KOFI, Inc. (``KOFI''), licensee of Station KZMN(FM), Kalispell, Montana, apparently willfully violated section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 73.1206, by broadcasting, and recording for later broadcast, a telephone conversation without first informing a party to the conversation of its intention to do so.2 For the following reasons, based upon our review

- ensuring that any material broadcast in a foreign language conforms to the requirements of the Act and the Commission's rules.23 To the extent that Caguas has overlooked its duties in this regard, we remind it to take appropriate care in the future to avoid further violations of this type. B. Proposed Action 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.24 The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements.25 The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that

As a result of our review, we again conclude that A-O willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 1.1310, 11.35, 73.1125, and 73.1400 of the Rules and that the appropriate forfeiture amount is $25,000.

("Clear Channel"), licensee of Station WRUM(FM), Orlando, Florida, broadcast information about a contest without fully and accurately disclosing all material terms thereof and failed to conduct the contest substantially as announced or advertised, in apparent willful violation of section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. Based upon our review
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1298A1.html
- the United States Postal Service, and by hand by the Idaho County Sheriff's Department. Despite these contacts, Scrugham has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, William W. Scrugham, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $10,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating of Section 301 of the Act. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture

- "include or introduce an unsolicited advertisement or constitute a telephone solicitation"; 4) to persons "with whom the caller has an established business relationship at the time the call is made"; and 5) "made by or on behalf of a tax-exempt nonprofit organization." 7. The proposed forfeiture in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining ESI's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violations and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such matters as justice may require. 8.
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1324A1.html
- deploying unauthorized 98 cm antennas, violated the Commission's two degree spacing policy and thereby creates the potential for causing interference. Thus, all three modifications affected the parameters or terms and conditions of AGF's authorizations. Therefore, AGF's failure to obtain prior Commission approval before implementing the modifications violated Section 25.117(a) of the Rules. 2. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1325A1.html
- of any intent to violate any provision of this Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission ...." A violation resulting from an inadvertent mistake or a failure to become familiar with the FCC's requirements is considered a willful violation. 6. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/DA-06-1328A1.html
- and that the Commission's licensing scheme for low power FM radio stations is "egregiously unconstitutional." 916 Radio also states that it does not have the ability to pay the forfeiture and requests that the forfeiture be reduced or cancelled. III. DISCUSSION 7. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- equipment was at all times fully operational; that the station had most of the required logging slips; and that if someone had not "jostled loose" the plug on the EAS receiver, the station would have been in full compliance. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- are not CB transceivers. Specifically, TravelCenters argues that the Galaxy transceivers are not covered by the Commission's definition of CB transmitter, and that the Commision's effort to clarify this definition was a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA"). III. DISCUSSION 7. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines.

Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'')22 and Section 1.80 of the Rules,23 the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. In this case, Ramsey marketed two models of unauthorized broadcast transmitters (FM35WT and FM100BWT) and two models of unauthorized external RF power amplifiers (PA100 and LPA1WT).

Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. Unicom's failures to respond occurred despite multiple attempts by Bureau staff to call Unicom's attention to the importance of responding to LOIs. We find that

We thus find LPSI apparently liable for a total proposed forfeiture of $329,000 for its apparent willful and repeated failure to make contributions into the USF. 17. Although the Commission typically downward adjusts a proposed forfeiture when a company voluntarily discloses a violation of our rules, we decline to do so today. Specifically, pursuant to section 1.80(b)(4) of our rules, the Commission has adjusted downward proposed forfeitures where a target of an investigation voluntarily disclosed its violations prior to the initiation of any investigative or enforcement actions. When deciding to discount a proposed forfeiture because of a regulatee's voluntary disclosure, the Commission reasonably expects the regulatee to take swift and effective corrective actions, and to comply with

In this Forfeiture Order ("Order"), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we impose a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $550,000 against CBS Corporation ("CBS"), as the licensee or the ultimate parent company of the licensees of the television stations listed in the Appendix ("CBS Stations"). We find that CBS violated 18 U.S.C. S 1464 and the Commission's rule regulating the broadcast of indecent material in its
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/FCC-06-22A1.html
- and orders by using a telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send at least 98 unsolicited advertisements to the 37 consumers identified in the Appendix. We have further determined that First Choice Healthcare, Inc. is apparently liable for forfeiture in the amount of $776,500. 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), that First Choice Healthcare, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $776,500 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders described in the
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2006/FCC-06-30A1.html
- of the Act and Rules and from considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Therefore, the forfeiture amount proposed herein takes into account the continuing nature San Jose's apparent violations, but relates to the company's marketing of Models RA-45, RA-46, RK-104 and RK-304 within the last year. 13. Section 1.80 of the Rules establishes a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for the marketing of unauthorized equipment. Section 503(b)(2)(C) of the Act, however, authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $97,500 for any single continuing violation. In determining the appropriate forfeiture

- been properly analyzed by the Commission." ACR also notes that it "has had a long history of compliance with Commission rules," and further contends that the "quantum" of the proposed forfeiture was unreasonable. III. discussion 8. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses,

- II service in response to valid PSAP requests in violation of Section 20.18(f) of the Rules in 41 instances. We note that 25 of these 50 violations occurred in markets in which DCS is the system licensee, and 25 occurred in markets in which ACC is the system licensee. B. Proposed Forfeiture 55. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, Dobson's apparent violations of Section 20.18(d) and (f) of the Rules were willful and repeated. 56. Under Section 503(b)(2)(B) of the Act, we may

- ) Wheeling, West Virginia FRN No. 0011339769 ) NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: March 6, 2007 Released: March 6, 2007 By the Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, we find that RCK 1 Group, LLC (the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WKKX(AM) Wheeling, West Virginia, (the "Station") apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by broadcasting a live telephone conversation without giving prior notice to the individual being called of the Licensee's intention to do so. Based on review of the facts and
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/DA-07-1073A1.html
- we do not find this to be a reasonable excuse for the Station's failure to provide access to the public inspection file. To condone excuses such as this one would render the public inspection process meaningless. 10. Based upon the evidence before us, we find that the Station apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3527 of the Commission's rules. Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for public file violations. In its LOI Response, Gaston College requests that if the Bureau determines that a violation occurred, it impose an admonishment rather than a forfeiture. In support of this request, Gaston College cites Tabback Broadcasting and American Family Association, each an admonishment against a radio station

- equipment certification prior to marketing. Mr. Mann admits, however, that there is no certification for these devices. Therefore, we find that The Antique Radio Collector apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules by marketing an intentional radiator prior to obtaining Commission equipment certification. 5. Section 503(b)(1) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules authorize the Commission to assess a forfeiture for each willful or repeated violation of the Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission under the Act. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs us to consider factors, such as "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation

Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Farmworkers argues that the Forfeiture Order cites to its logging violations and states that Section 1.80 of the Rules requires only a $1,000 forfeiture amount for logging violations. We disagree. Section 1.80 of the Rules lists $8,000 as the base, and not the maximum, forfeiture for "EAS equipment not installed or operational."

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that WMGO Broadcasting Corp., Inc. (the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WMGO(AM), Canton, Mississippi (the "Station"), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules, by recording a telephone conversation for broadcast, and later broadcasting that telephone conversation, without first informing the party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our

- may require. After considering the record, the factors contained in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. S 503(b)(2)(D), and the Forfeiture Policy Statement, we believe that a $4,000 forfeiture is appropriate in this case. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, that CBS Radio Inc. of Philadelphia, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of $3,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. 11.

Specifically, we conclude that the violation occurred due to inadequate planning and control, and not due to a deliberate attempt to deceive or to favor a particular contestant or class of contestants. V. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, that Access 1 New Jersey License Company, LLC, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of $4,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules. 12.

The proposed forfeiture set forth in the NAL was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the guidelines enunciated in the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeiture liability, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act directs the Commission to take into account the violator's degree of culpability, history of prior offenses and ability to pay; the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and such other matters as justice may require. We

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 12. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for the violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 13.

Further, the Commission allows a maximum forfeiture of $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, except that the amount assessed shall not exceed $1,325,000 for any single continuous violation. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules also specifies that, in determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, the Commission or its designee will take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV V-Chip technology requirements. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 11.

LocateCell acted in apparent and willful and repeated violation of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, ("Act") and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules ("Rules"). 2. On July 13, 2006, the Commission issued to LocateCell a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") proposing a forfeiture in the amount of ninety-seven thousand five hundred dollars ($97,500) based on LocateCell's apparent violation of the Bureau's directive. The NAL gave LocateCell the option of paying the proposed forfeiture or of filing a

- sold units of five of the devices. 9. Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Austin Hughes apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(2) of the Rules by marketing nine unauthorized Class A digital devices without proper verification. A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 10. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Austin Hughes' violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803(a)(2) of the Rules were willful and repeated. 11. Section

We have further determined that Mexico Marketing Industries, Inc. is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $335,000. 9.

S: 503(b), that Mexico Marketing, LLC is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $335,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. S: 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 64.1200(a)(3), and the related orders

- the violations, but seeks cancellation or reduction of the proposed $75,000 forfeiture. San Jose claims that its violations were not intentional, that its corrective measures demonstrate good faith, and that its payment of the forfeiture would cause economic hardship. III. DISCUSSION 8. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement guidelines. In assessing forfeitures, the Commission is required to take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s); the violator's degree of culpability, history or prior offenses and ability to pay; and such other matters as justice may require. We have considered San Jose's claims in light of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/FCC-07-45A1.html
- for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Hawking's conduct has continued over a period that began in July 2005, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Hawking's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 26. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the importation or marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of $11,000 for each violation, or each day of a continuing violation, up to

- Accordingly, based on the preponderance of the evidence, we find that Ramko apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules by selling or offering for sale 17 models of radio transceivers which, by their nature, are ineligible for equipment certification. A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 20. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. Based upon the record before us, it appears that Ramko's violations of Section 302(b) of the Act and Section 2.803 of the Rules were willful and repeated. 21. Section 1.80(b)(4)
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2007/FCC-07-58A1.html
- concedes that the Commission may deviate from the guidelines in accordance with the criteria set forth in section 503(b)(2)(D). In any event, the Commission's established methodologies for determining the amount of the forfeiture for the particular violations at issue here do take into account the base forfeiture amounts, as well as the upward and downward adjustment criteria, specified in section 1.80 of the Commission's rules. The Commission followed this methodology exactly in the InPhonic NAL. 25. Next, with respect to section 503(b)(2)(D), InPhonic is wrong that we did not comply with the Act because the forfeiture was not sufficiently tied to InPhonic in particular. For example, with respect to the registration violation, InPhonic states that instead of "a particularized Section 503(b)(2)(D)

- forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Ryzex's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2003, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Ryzex's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 18. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. In this case, Ryzex marketed two models of improperly labeled PDTs, the modified Symbol PDT6840 and PDT6846, within the past year. Ryzex's marketing of each of these two improperly labeled models

On January 23, 2008, the International Bureau granted ABS-CBN's modification application for earth station E000584. 5. Also in its Response, ABS-CBN requests that we forego assessing a forfeiture in this case, or alternatively, assess a forfeiture that is substantially less than the base forfeiture amount established in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules. In arguing for mitigation, ABS-CBN states that until the instant proceeding, it continuously operated all of its earth stations in full compliance with the Commission's rules and has never been subject to a Commission enforcement action related to the operation of its earth stations. ABS-CBN also asserts that during the period of unauthorized operation it did

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 9. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in Section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "... any omission of a specific

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Cardinal's conduct has continued over a period that began during March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Cardinal's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 15. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture for violation of Section 9.5(b) of the Rules. The Commission has, nevertheless, found that the "omission of a specific rule violation from the list ... [establishing base forfeiture amounts] should not signal that the Commission considers any unlisted violation as nonexistent or unimportant. The Commission expects, and it is each licensee's

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 10. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cardinal, the statutory maximum is $130,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. The Commission has imposed the statutory maximum penalty against common carriers for the intentional provision of incorrect material factual information. Because

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Microboards' conduct has continued over a period that began on March 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Microboards' apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 8. Pursuant to The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized or non-compliant equipment is $7,000.

- and from considering such conduct in determining the appropriate forfeiture amount for violations that occurred within the one-year statutory period. Thus, while we may consider the fact that Leetek's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2007, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Leetek's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 11. Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $7,000 for marketing unauthorized equipment. In this case, Leetek marketed two models of unauthorized pager transmitter systems. Leetek's marketing of each of these unauthorized models is a separate, continuing violation. Based on the record of this proceeding and application of the statutory factors listed above, we propose a forfeiture of $14,000

Thus, while we may consider the fact that DCS's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2005 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to DCS's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 13. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000 per model. As set forth in the confidential Appendix, DCS apparently marketed PDTs that were not labeled in accordance with Sections 2.909(d) and 15.19(a)(3) of the Rules. Although it is clear from the record that DCS has marketed such PDTs within the applicable one-year statute

As discussed below, we conclude that Oceanic is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) for its willful violation of Section 76.1603(c) of the Rules. 13. Under Section 503(b)(2)(A) and Section 1.80(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, we may assess a cable television operator a forfeiture of up to $32,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $325,000 for any single continuing violation.

IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, LCD Digital Electronics, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of this APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) for violations of Section 15.117(k) of the Rules. 12.

Mathews Readymix also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the rules by failing to file a timely renewal application for the station. 7. Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 13. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. However, the Commission has substantial discretion in proposing forfeitures and has stressed that digital signal reception capability is of critical importance to a successful digital transition for the nation. In its previous DTV tuner cases, the Commission concluded that applying a proposed forfeiture

Thus, while we may consider the fact that CoachComm's conduct has continued over a period that began in May 2004, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to CoachComm's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 11. Under The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. CoachComm marketed unauthorized radio frequency equipment. Specifically, CoachComm marketed one system that included the same RF transmitter in both the wireless headsets and command stations. For the apparent marketing of this

- issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") in the amount of $8,000 to Mr. Aulabaugh. Mr. Aulabaugh has not filed a response to the NAL.

In exercising such authority, we are to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 7. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of Section 54.418(a)'s notice requirements. The Commission has warned, however, that "any omission of a specific rule violation from the ... [forfeiture guidelines] ... should not signal that the Commission considers any unlisted violation as nonexistent or unimportant." Indeed, the Commission emphasized the importance of the ETC requirements

The Commission's forfeiture guidelines establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for the unauthorized broadcast of a telephone conversation.

The fundamental issue in this case is whether FTH violated section 310(d) of the Act and Section 25.119 of the Commission rules by transferring 35 satellite earth station licenses without required Commission approval.

Based on a preponderance of the evidence, and under Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we therefore conclude that FTH is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $17,500. 7. FTH admits that it failed to apply for Commission approval to transfer control of the satellite earth station licenses. In connection with the stock recapitalization, FTH applied for Commission approval to transfer FTH television broadcast licenses. Notwithstanding FTH's arguments, the Commission did

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we find that Courier Communications Corp. ("Courier" or the "Licensee"), Licensee of Station WNOV(AM), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (the "Station"), apparently willfully violated Section 73.1206 of the Commission's rules by broadcasting a telephone conversation without first informing the other party to the conversation of its intention to do so. Based on our review of the facts and circumstances,

Thus, while we may consider the fact that Multi-Tech's conduct has continued over a period that began during 2006 or earlier, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to Multi-Tech's apparent violations that have occurred within the past year. 8. Under the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for the marketing of unauthorized equipment is $7,000. Multi-Tech apparently marketed the CallFinder device without including in the user manual the consumer information regarding radio frequency interference required by Section 15.105(a) of the Rules. We note that a $7,000 forfeiture amount is typically imposed for marketing devices that are not in compliance with

Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(a) of the rules, provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Nevertheless, WMGO contends that we should cancel or reduce the forfeiture. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement.

- Response, Princess K Fishing Corporation argues it did not willfully or repeatedly violate Section 80.89(a) of the Rules, that it was not responsible for the acts of its employee, and that it lacks the ability to pay the forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 6. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining the Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-479A1.html
- for STA. Thus, it appears that SES apparently violated Section 301 of the Act and Section 25.102(a) of the Rules by operating the Satcom C-3 satellite without Commission authority, and that SES apparently violated the requirement to file a modification application to extend the license pursuant to Section 25.117 of the Rules. 6. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- contained in programming that was supplied by the same third-party programmer and involved many of the same advertisers as programming that drew a previous admonishment for violation of the Underwriting Rules. In these circumstances, no mitigation as a consequence of the "embedded" nature of the impermissible advertisements is warranted. B. Proposed Action 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-48A1.html
- appropriate. Accordingly, applying the Forfeiture Policy Statement and the statutory factors to this case, we conclude that Ministerio is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Commission's Underwriting Rules. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 10. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Ministerio Radial Cristo Viene Pronto, Inc., licensee of noncommercial educational Station WCRP(FM), Guayama, Puerto Rico, is HEREBY NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C.

- calls to action. The foregoing references appear to exceed the licensee's discretion under Xavier because each, in the context presented, refers either to specific qualities or attributes of the respective underwriters that are not necessarily possessed by competitors, or otherwise contain prohibited price information or other language of inducement. B. Proposed Forfeiture 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2009/DA-09-50A1.html
- substantially fewer and the period of time over which they aired is substantially less. Based on all the circumstances, and after examining forfeiture actions in other recent underwriting cases, we believe that a forfeiture of $2,500 is appropriate. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. ACCORDINGLY, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Cayuga County Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational Station WDWN(FM), Auburn, New York, is hereby NOTIFIED OF ITS APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $2,500 for willfully and repeatedly broadcasting advertisements in violation of Section 399B of the Act, 47 U.S.C.

Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement sets a base forfeiture amount of $2,000 for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. The Forfeiture Policy Statement also provides that

- that any of the 249 non-DTV compliant receivers were imported prior to March 1, 2007, and sold by Hannspree in their two California-based retail stores from their inventory, then we should reduce the amount of the proposed forfeiture accordingly. III. Discussion 9. The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. 10.

In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. 8.

Section 1.80 of the Rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for failure to respond to Commission communications.

As a result of these facts, we find that ICTI has apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's rules. B. Proposed Forfeiture 11.

In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree

V. ORDERING CLAUSES 40. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. S: 503(b), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 1.80, that ADMA Telecom, Inc. is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of $672,541 for willfully and repeatedly violating the Act and the Commission's rules. 41. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, within thirty days of the release date of

- the Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") in the amount of $50,000 to Hawking. Although Hawking received a copy of the NAL, it has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, Hawking Technologies, Inc. IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $50,000 for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 302(b) of the Act and Sections 2.803(a) and 15.204(d) of the Rules. 4.

- amount of $10,000 for failure to make required regulatory fee payments. Therefore, we find Omniat is apparently liable for a forfeiture of $40,000 for its willful and repeated failure to make regulatory fee payments from 2005 to 2008. 30. Finally, we find that Omniat has repeatedly and willfully failed to provide a timely and complete response to the LOI. Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information, and $4,000 for failure to respond to a Commission communication. We find that Omniat's total failure to respond to the LOI warrants a substantial increase to this base amount. Misconduct of this type exhibits a

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 1.115(g) of the Commission's Rules, the Application for Review filed by CBS Radio Inc. of Tampa, formerly Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Florida, IS hereby DENIED. 28. IT IS ALSO ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, CBS Radio Inc. of Tampa, formerly Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Florida, IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for willful and repeated violation of Section 1.1310 of the Rules. 29. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within 30

- $97,500 for any single continuing violation. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 15. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a specific base forfeiture for violation of the DTV tuner requirement. The Commission has substantial discretion, however, in proposing forfeitures. We may apply the base forfeiture amounts described in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and our rules, or we may depart from them altogether as the circumstances demand. 16. The DTV tuner requirement promotes the

Nevada Sun Peak also acted in apparent violation of Section 1.949(a) of the Rules by failing to timely file a renewal application for station WPQE205. 7. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

Thus, while we may consider the fact that CruiseEmail's conduct has continued for several years, the forfeiture amount we propose herein relates only to CruiseEmail's apparent violations occurring within the past year. 8. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines ("Forfeiture Policy Statement") and Section 1.80 of the Rules, set the base forfeiture amount for operation at an unauthorized location at $4,000. Accordingly, we propose a total base forfeiture of $12,000 ($4,000 x 3 stations) against CruiseEmail for its operation of stations KDS, WGM, and WHX at unauthorized locations in apparent willful

Consequently, we conclude that no forfeiture should be imposed. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f) (4) of the Commission's rules, that the proposed forfeiture in the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) issued to Tennessee Telephone Service, LLC d/b/a Freedom Communications USA, LLC in the February 26, 2009 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture IS CANCELLED. 4.

As set forth in detail in the confidential Appendix, we conclude that Alpheus apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 4.9(f) of the Rules by failing to file an electronic Notification within 120 minutes and an Initial Communications Outage Report within 72 hours of discovering a reportable outage. B. Proposed Forfeiture 8. Under Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(1) of the Rules, any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty.

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's forfeiture guidelines set forth in its Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other matters

American Taxi submitted a response to the NAL requesting cancellation of the proposed forfeiture arguing that: (1) it was operating pursuant to a license, and (2) it was never warned that its actions violated the Act. III. DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining American Taxi's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Communications Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") in the amount of $20,000 to Mr. Bazile. Mr. Bazile has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture. 3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.204, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Marckenson Bazile IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $20,000 for violations of section 301 of the Act. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in section 1.80 of the Rules within 30 days of the release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within

- main studio on the day of inspection as required by section 73.3526 of the Rules. Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we conclude that Wall apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526(e)(12) by failing to maintain the issues/programs lists and make them available in Station WLSW's public inspection file. 8. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2011/DA-11-1093A1.html
- of the alien ownership restrictions. America Movil is therefore apparently liable for a base forfeiture of $8,000 for its willful violation of section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the 2007 MO&O and Declaratory Ruling. The Commission's rules provide, however, that base forfeitures may be adjusted based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's rules, which include "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation ... and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." We conclude that America Movil's ability to pay warrants an upward adjustment of the base forfeiture amount. To ensure that a proposed forfeiture

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain and make available, during more than one visit, a complete public inspection file. 9. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain a main studio with a meaningful staff presence is $7,000, and the base forfeiture amount for failing to maintain and make available a complete public inspection file is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E)

Accordingly, based on the evidence before us, we conclude that HK Media apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 73.3526 of the Rules by failing to maintain and make available the Station KFOX public inspection file at the station's main studio. 7. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for violation of the public file rule is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

Under section 1.80(b)(3) of the Rules, we may assess an entity that is neither a common carrier, broadcast licensee or cable operator a forfeiture of up to $16,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a statutory maximum forfeiture of $112,500 for any single continuing violation. In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000, and the base forfeiture amount for interference is $7,000.

By operating station WQFD453 for a period of more than three years after the license had been cancelled, Northeast Utilities apparently violated section 301 of the Act and section 1.903(a) of the Rules. 6. Section 503(b) of the Act and section 1.80(a) of the Rules provide that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of section 503(b) of the Act, the term "willful" means that the violator knew that it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Taylor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." There is no evidence before us to suggest that the base amount should be adjusted in any

In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and section 1.80(a)(4) of the Rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000 and for failing to file required forms is $3,000.

In examining Mr. Lindor's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may

Based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Lebron apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Act by operating radio transmission equipment without the required Commission authorization. 5. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- "made the changes [he] had to." Mr. Hays requests cancellation or reduction of the proposed forfeiture, however, because he lives solely on social security benefits and asserts that, as a result, he cannot afford to pay the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 3. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Mr. Hays's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- Act directs us to consider factors, such as "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." As we explain below, having considered the statutory factors, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000. 9. Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a radio station without Commission authority. Based on the record in this proceeding, we propose a forfeiture of $10,000 for Scottsdale Lexus's unauthorized operations. 10.

The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with section 503(b) of the Act, section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Perka's response, section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 8. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules do not establish a base forfeiture amount for violations of the hearing aid-compatible handset requirements set forth in section 20.19 of the Rules. The fact that the Forfeiture Policy Statement does not specify a base amount does not indicate that no forfeiture should be imposed. The Forfeiture Policy Statement states that "... any omission of a specific

Thus, based on the evidence before us, we find that St. George apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 76.1801 of the Rules by failing to submit a registration statement with the Commission on FCC Form 322. 11. Proposed Action. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000; for violation of rules relating to distress and safety frequencies is $8,000; and for failing to file required forms is $3,000.

- Because he consciously operated with unauthorized amplifiers, we find that the apparent violation was willful. Therefore, based on the evidence before us, we find that Mr. Perry apparently willfully violated section 301 of the Act and section 95.411 of the Rules by operating an unlicensed radio transmitter with two amplifiers. 6. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operating without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

In exercising such authority, we are required to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." 9. Under the Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for misrepresentation or lack of candor is the statutory maximum. Therefore, for common carriers such as Cricket, the base forfeiture is $150,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation.

A. Proposed Forfeiture Amount 7. Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for EAS equipment not installed or operational is $8,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

- for certain kinds of violations, and identify criteria, consistent with the section 503(b)(2)(E) factors, that may influence whether we adjust the base amount downward or upward. For example, we may adjust a penalty upward for "[e]gregious misconduct," or whether the subject of an enforcement action has engaged in an "[i]ntentional violation" or "[r]epeated or continuous violation." 7. Pursuant to section 1.80 of the Commission's rules and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement, the base forfeiture amount for failure to respond to Commission communications is $4,000. Using our discretion to adjust the base forfeiture as circumstances warrant, however, we have imposed penalties that are many times higher for failing to respond properly to LOIs. For example, we have imposed substantial forfeitures for completely

Iowa Telecom did not file an application for Commission approval until December 14, 2009, more than 6 months after its July 1, 2009 transfer of control. B. Proposed Forfeiture 7. In determining the amount of a forfeiture penalty, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the rules direct the Commission to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation . . . and the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."

Section 1.80(b) of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for operation of a station without Commission authority and a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file required forms or information. Although we find no basis here for a downward adjustment given the circumstances of this case, we conclude that an upward adjustment of the total $13,000 base

Pursuant to the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules, the base forfeiture amount for operation without an instrument of authorization is $10,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violations, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability,

Callcomm initially responds to the NAL by stating that because it ``is not the licensee of the transmitter located on Eldorado Mountain,'' the Field Office should have followed the dictates of Section 503(b)(5) of the Act and Section 1.80(d) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), for non-Commission licensees, prior to issuing the NAL. Specifically, Callcomm states that the Field Office should have given it a citation of the violation charged, a reasonable opportunity for a personal interview at the Field Office closest to Callcomm, and an opportunity to cure the violation before it issued the NAL.

- Petition for Reconsideration raises several issues regarding the investigation, alleges that the record contains factual discrepancies, and contends that facts that were not disclosed in the underlying NAL were used as support in the Forfeiture Order. 5. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that remission of the $7,000 forfeiture is warranted. 6.

- Rules, and that the $8,000 forfeiture amounts to an undue financial burden for it in light of the $7,100 budgeted annually for KCOZ's operation. 3. After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, in particular the financial hardship that would result from an $8,000 forfeiture, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we conclude that rescission of the $8,000 forfeiture is warranted. We note, however, that the actions at issue in this case constitute a violation of Section 11.35 of the Rules. We will, therefore, retain a record of this violation, and the violation will be considered in determining an equitable penalty in the event any future violations occur.

- In assessing the forfeiture amount for the tower fencing violation, the NAL noted the inspecting FCC agent's conclusion that Culpeper was aware of the deficiencies in the fence prior to the inspection, making this violation willful.

After considering Culpeper's history of compliance with respect to its operation of WCVA, the Columbia Field Office reduced the forfeiture amount for the excessive power violation to $2,000.

- further discussion. However, as explained below, we conclude that Ms. Gizzo has justified a reduction of the base forfeiture amount in light of her inability to pay. Ms. Gizzo argues that, under SBREFA, she is entitled to reduction of the forfeiture amount as a small business. The Commission, through its Forfeiture Policy Statement, Section 503(b) of the Act, and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidelines for upward and downward adjustment of forfeitures. See Jerry Szoka, 14 FCC Rcd 9857, 9866 (1999), recon. denied, 14 FCC Rcd 20147 (1999). Under these guidelines, we consider a licensee's ability to pay as a relevant factor in assessing forfeitures. Our review of Ms. Gizzo's

- to the Commission or to a charitable organization of his choice, as determined most appropriate by the Commission; and permit an authorized Commission agent to inspect his residence to ensure all equipment has been removed. III. DISCUSSION 12. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 503(b) of the Act requires that, in examining Mr. Martin's response, the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on or about January 12, 1999, Station KRXK(AM), violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to

- Broadcasting, based on the information submitted we would find no reason to reduce its forfeiture amount. 10. Turning to ARS Broadcasting's claim that it might qualify as a small business, we will assume, for this discussion only, that it qualifies as a small business. The Commission, following Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, and through its Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b) of the Rules, has already considered its obligations under SBREFA and enunciated the appropriate guidance for upward and downward adjustments to forfeitures, as provided by SBREFA. Using this guidance, we do not find that ARS Broadcasting is entitled to a further reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture amount. 11. After examining ARS Broadcasting's response to the NAL under Section 503(b)(2)(D)

- it requested reduction of the proposed monetary forfeiture to $1,000. On March 3, 2000, the Bureau released the Forfeiture Order, which assessed a monetary forfeiture of $5,000 for willful violation of Section 73.1213(b). DISCUSSION 4. The Bureau issued the Forfeiture Order pursuant to Section 503 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503, and Section 1.80 of the Rules.

After reviewing the particular circumstances in this case, and per the discretion authorized by Section 504(b) of the Act, and as provided by Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, we conclude that cancellation of the NAL is warranted. 5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the NAL issued to PCS Communications, Inc. IS CANCELLED. 6.

- (February 26, 1999), we believe that Three Eagles can only receive limited credit for its prior record of compliance. Based upon our consideration of the record as a whole, we believe a $6,000 forfeiture is appropriate. IV. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Three Eagles of Columbus, Inc.

We find, therefore, that Chadmoore's and PTT Maple's operation from the Clark Tower site was permitted under Section 90.693(b) of the Rules. Upon review of the particular circumstances in this case and in accordance with the discretion afforded to the Commission by Section 504 of the Act and implemented by Section 1.80(i) of the Rules, we have determined that rescission of the proposed forfeitures is warranted.

Nonetheless, because Diamond apparently believed that American Tower was responsible for responding, and taking into account all the factors required under Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, we find that the proposed forfeiture should be reduced to $500. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, Diamond Services Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of $500 for violating Section 1.89(b) of the Commission's Rules, which requires the recipient of a Notice of Violation to respond in writing within a specific time period.

- is establishing a procedure to ensure that certificate violations will not occur in the future; and it is rare for Sealand, which operates almost 40 U.S. flag vessels, to miss the renewal of a Safety Certificate. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 364(a) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commissions Rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4), requires that the Commission, in examining Sealand's response, take into account the nature,
- http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/da00561.doc http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/da00561.txt
- account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''). Those factors include the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. See also Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's rules. After considering all of the circumstances, we believe the ends of justice will be served by imposing the forfeiture for the main studio rule violation but canceling the forfeiture for the public file rule violation. 6. With respect to the main studio violation, we note that we recently imposed a forfeiture of $7,000 for willful and

- not believe that KXLE has presented sufficient reasons to justify reducing the forfeiture amount. Even if the AM equipment had been dismantled for repair on the day of inspection, as KXLE claims, we believe an $8,000 forfeiture amount for the inoperable EAS equipment for the FM station alone is appropriate. See The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, released December 28, 1999 (base amount of $8,000 for EAS violation). Further, KXLE claims that its lack of knowledge of required EAS testing for the FM station warrants reducing the forfeiture amount. Commission licensees are responsible for knowing and adhering to the statutes

- submission is not supported in this manner and, therefore, provides no reliable basis for Hoosier's claim of inability to pay. In any event, the material that Hoosier did submit indicates gross revenues of approximately $52,000 for 1998. A $4,000 forfeiture under these circumstances is not excessive. 8. The forfeiture standards in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines sets $5,000 as the base forfeiture amount for a willful violation of Section 73.1350(a). The Field Office and the Bureau reviewed the record, which included Hoosier's operating history and claims of vandalism, and concluded that a $4,000 forfeiture was indicated instead of the $5,000 base forfeiture amount. We affirm that conclusion. IV.

Pampa refiled the applications on May 28, 1999, and the Commission's staff granted them on September 20, 1999. 4. On November 4, 1999, WTB, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, issued the referenced NAL in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000) to Pampa for the late filing of its license renewal applications. 5.

DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

- intent, the cited violations were willful. The Bureau also noted that while remedial action to correct a violation is commendable, it will not nullify a forfeiture penalty, and, further, that Northwest had not provided any documentary evidence to evaluate its ability to pay the forfeiture. DISCUSSION 4. The forfeiture was issued pursuant to Section 503 of the Act and Section 1.80 of the Rules. In assessing the forfeiture amount, the Bureau followed the forfeiture standards established in Section 503 of the Act and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407 (Released December 28, 1999) ("Policy Statement").

See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(6)(A). Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, that the forfeiture issued against County of Surry IS RESCINDED. 7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, a copy of this Order shall be

- violations, when coupled with its culpability, offset Bay's overall history and market situation. Further, neither Bay's small business status nor its asserted inability to pay warrants reduction or cancellation of the forfeiture. The forfeiture is appropriate and should be imposed. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, Bay Broadcasting Corporation IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of nineteen thousand dollars ($19,000). The forfeiture is imposed for willful and repeated violations of Section 301 of the Act and Sections 73.1201, 73.1675, 73.1690 and 74.1251 of the Commission's rules. Among other things, those provisions proscribe operation of unlicensed transmitters; certain modifications to

Because the material aired between 6:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., when there was a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it appears that on February 26, 1999, Station KROR-FM, violated 18 U.S.C. 1464 by airing indecent programming. 8. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's Rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act or the rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

On December 6, 1999, the FCC received Champion's response to the NAL. In that response, Champion argues that its failure to file timely renewal applications was not willful because it did not know

- any and all violations occurring during the period from 1993 to 1999 as a ``convenient target.'' Finally, Mr. Holcombe argues that he has been denied a fair hearing of the facts and the right to due process. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining Mr. Holcombe's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- Meyers contends that the reference in the NAL to the interference complaints received by the Houston Office between 1993 and 1999 unfairly suggests that he is responsible for those violations and was intended to prejudice the Commission. DISCUSSION As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- amount of $11,000 against James Lee Gaskey for willful violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 301. The noted violation involves radio operation without a license. On April 28, 1999, the Commission's Kansas City, Missouri Field Office, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, issued the referenced Notice of Apparent Liability (``NAL'') for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $11,000 to Mr. Gaskey for the noted violation. A response to the NAL was filed on behalf of Mr. Gaskey by his attorney on June 1, 1999. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm

- 23, 2000 Released: March 29, 2000 By the Commission: 1. In this Order, we dismiss in part and deny in part the March 31, 1999 application for review filed by Mark H. Fulling of the Forfeiture Order in this proceeding. Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, the former Compliance and Information Bureau found Mr. Fulling liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $8,000 for operation of an unlicensed FM broadcast station, in willful violation of Section 301 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 301. For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss the application in

- we believe a total forfeiture of $40,000 is appropriate and consistent with the Central Illinois and Puget Sound cases. We allocate the forfeitures as follows: $22,000 to Roadrunner, $10,000 to DOE, and $4,000 each to City Courier and Eastside/Westside. IV. Ordering Clauses Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), Roadrunner Transportation, Inc., Dynamex Operations East, Inc., City Courier, Inc., and Eastside/Westside, Inc. ARE LIABLE FOR MONETARY FORFEITURES in the amounts of $22,000, $10,000, $4,000, and $4,000, respectively, for their willful and repeated violations of Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 310(d), and former Section

Section 1464, which prohibits the broadcast of indecent material. This action is taken pursuant to Sections 312(a)(6) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 312(a)(6) and 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 1.80(f)(4). 2. By Notice of Apparent Liability (``NAL''), FCC 99-187, released July 22, 1999, we determined that certain material apparently broadcast over WQAM on five days in May 1998 was indecent. Inasmuch as the material was apparently aired between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., we concluded that the broadcasts occurred

We have further determined that Tri-Star is apparently liable for forfeitures in the amount of $47,000. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5), and section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80, that Tri-Star Marketing, Inc. IS HEREBY NOTIFIED of an Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $47,000 for willful or repeated violations of section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(C), sections 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 64.1200(a)(3), 64.1200(f)(5), and the related orders described in the

- those guidelines will not change the definition of indecency or the Commission's enforcement procedures, both of which have been affirmed by the courts. Moreover, as we have previously stated, ``[w]hile we still intend to issue such guidance, we continue to believe that our existing rulemaking orders and case law provide sufficient guidance.'' Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (Reconsideration Order), 15 FCC Rcd 303, 306 (1999). Thus, we find no merit to Citicasters' argument that it is unable to substantively respond to the NAL until after issuance of the guidelines and we see no reason to await issuance of the guidelines before imposing the forfeiture order in this case.

Finally, we note that evidence of further violations may lead to institution of a proceeding to revoke BDP's authorization to be a long distance carrier under section 214. V.

- for assessing an appropriate forfeiture amount for the violations that were subject to a forfeiture from July 23, 1998 forward. Accordingly, ENSERCH's argument that the NAL violated the statute of limitations is rejected. ENSERCH also argues that the forfeiture exceeds the $82,500 maximum forfeiture for any single action or failure to act. See 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(C), 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(5)(iii). We reject that argument because each station that ENSERCH transferred without Commission approval constitutes a separate violation of the Act and the Commission's rules. See Courtesy Communications, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 4198, 4200 (1999).

- By the Commission: 1. In this Order, we grant in part and deny in part the May 19, 2000 application for review filed by WGUL-FM, Inc., licensee of Station WINV(AM), of the Memorandum Opinion and Order issued by the Enforcement Bureau in this proceeding. Pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act'') and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules'') the former Compliance and Information Bureau ("CIB") found WGUL-FM, Inc. liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $7,000 for willful and continuous violation of rule sections 11.52(d) (EAS code and attention signal monitoring requirements), 11.61(a) (tests of EAS procedures), and 73.3526(c) (availability of public inspection file for public inspection). For the reasons

- agree that the proposed forfeiture amount, $1,120,000, is somewhat excessive in light of these gross revenues and LLD's financial situation. Accordingly, and in light of the seriousness of the violation, we reduce the forfeiture amount from $1,120,000 to $750,000. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 12. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4), that LLD Services Corporation SHALL FORFEIT to the United States Government the sum of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for violating section 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 258, and the Commission's rules and orders governing primary interexchange carrier conversions, 47 C.F.R. 64.1100, 64.1150.

- after finding that the carrier had made a few payments before notification of potential enforcement action. By contrast, ATNC made no payments prior to the Enforcement Bureau's letter, and still has never committed to pay off its arrearage within a specified timeframe. IV. ORDERING CLAUSES 11. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act, and section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, America's Tele-Network Corp. is LIABLE FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of one hundred fifty-four thousand dollars ($154,000) for willfully and repeatedly violating section 254 of the Act, and section 54.706 of the Commission's rules. 12.

- $2,000 as the base amount for violation of the enhanced underwriting requirements. In this case, we believe that a forfeiture of $1,000 is appropriate due to the prior unblemished enforcement record of the licensee. IV. Ordering Clauses 9. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Southern Rhode Island Public Radio Broadcasting, Inc., licensee, noncommercial educational Station WBLQ(FM), Westerly, Rhode Island, is hereby NOTIFIED of its APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for willfully and repeatedly violating 47 U.S.C.

- broadcasts the resulting conversation without giving prior notice, Citicasters' actions appear to be directly contrary to the language of the rule, which requires prior notice before a conversation is broadcast. We also find that Citicasters' conduct is inconsistent with the rule's purpose of protecting parties to telephone conversations. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

By letter dated July 19, 2000, Kona Koast notified the Commission that the tower had been painted and was in compliance with the Commission's Rules. III. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- the rule by denying Mr. Huffman access to the public file and by asking him why he wanted access to the file. Furthermore, Riverside also violated Section 73.3526 by failing to place certain materials in the public inspection file, including certain issues/programs lists and EEO Model Program Reports. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- Case No. 99DV446 Sterling, Colorado 80751 ) FORFEITURE ORDER Adopted: February 7, 1999 Released: February 9, 2000 By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 1. This order imposes a forfeiture against Arnold Broadcasting Company, Inc. (``Arnold Broadcasting'') in the amount of $16,000 pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``the Act''), 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (``the Rules''), 47 C.F.R. 1.80, for willful violations of Sections 11.35, 11.61, 17.4, 73.1225, 73.1350, 73.1820, and 73.1870 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. 11.35, 11.61, 17.4, 73.1225, 73.1350, 73.1820, and 73.1870.

- find that the violations were willful. The Commission has held that an act or omission is ``willful'' if it is a conscious and deliberate act or omission, whether or not there is any intent to violate the rule. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the violations warrant the imposition of a monetary forfeiture. Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules require us to take into account "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, and history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require." The Commission has adopted guidelines for assessing forfeitures. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment

- non-broadcast means (such as the World Wide Web) can be considered in determining whether adequate disclosure has been made, the non-broadcast disclosures must be ``[i]n addition to the required broadcast announcements. . . .'' Id. Thus, while non-broadcast disclosures can supplement broadcast announcements, they cannot act as a substitute for broadcast announcements. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b), the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of any intent to violate

- provided copies of its 1996 and 1997 federal income tax returns with its August, 1999, response and provided a copy of its 1998 federal income tax returns with a supplemental response received September 28, 1999. III. DISCUSSION 8. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, that WTTW's request for reduction or rescission filed January 2, 1998 IS GRANTED to the extent that we approve a reduction of the proposed forfeiture amount from $5,000 to $2,000. 5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Commission's rules, Window to the World Communications, Inc., licensee of noncommercial educational television station WTTW (TV), Chicago, Illinois, shall FORFEIT to the United States the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000), for willfully and repeatedly violating Section 399B of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Sec. 399b, and Section 73.621(e) of the Commission's rules. 6.

- to Bernard A. Solnik, Esq., Case No. 02120518 (MMB March 25, 1996). None of these rulings contain any analysis or discussion of the digital delay system. Moreover, none of the language in those rulings is inconsistent with the plain language of the rule, which clearly requires prior notification. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b), and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

- submission is not supported in this manner and, therefore, provides no reliable basis for Hoosier's claim of inability to pay. In any event, the material that Hoosier did submit indicates gross revenues of approximately $52,000 for 1998. A $4,000 forfeiture under these circumstances is not excessive. 8. The forfeiture standards in The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines sets $5,000 as the base forfeiture amount for a willful violation of Section 73.1350(a). The Field Office and the Bureau reviewed the record, which included Hoosier's operating history and claims of vandalism, and concluded that a $4,000 forfeiture was indicated instead of the $5,000 base forfeiture amount. We affirm that conclusion. IV.

- 29, 1999, the Commission's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Field Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability (``NAL'') for Forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars (20,000). Kel-Comm Broadcasting Inc. has not filed a response. Based on the information before us, we affirm this forfeiture. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules, Kel-Comm Broadcasting Inc., IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount $20,000, for willful and repeated violations of Section 303(q) of the Act, and Sections 1.89, 11.15, 11.35, 11.41, 17.4, 17.21, and 17.50 of the Rules. 4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the Rules within

- support that claim. The financial statements, which are marked ``unaudited'' and do not contain a certification of their correctness, indicate that KNFL's gross revenues were $56,387 in 1996, $80,888 in 1997 and $119,654 in 1998. III. DISCUSSION 7. As the NAL explicitly states, the forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503 of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, FCC 99-407, (rel. Dec. 28, 1999) (``Policy Statement''). In examining KNFL's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of

- supplement broadcast announcements, they cannot act as a substitute for broadcast announcements. The dispute between Ms. Barto and AK concerning their different understandings of the rules for the ``$10,000 Music Challenge'' demonstrates why it is important for stations to broadcast all of the material terms of a contest. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.80(a), each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action

- the amount to $14,000. 2. Arnold's Petition for Reconsideration ("Petition"), requests that the Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') specify the amounts assessed for each violation and state whether we arrived at the forfeiture amount by using any upward or downward adjustments. In this regard, Arnold argues that the forfeiture amount is excessive and should, at most, be $11,000 in accordance with Section 1.80 of the Rules. We calculated the forfeiture against Arnold as follows: $8,000 base amount for the ( 11.35 violation adjusted upward by $2,000 ($10,000); $3,000 base amount for the ( 73.1350 violations adjusted upward by $1,000 ($4,000); $1,000 base amount for the ( 73.1820 violation; and $1,000 for the ( 73.1870 violation. We made an upward adjustment of $2,000 to

- Section 399B of the Act, and Sections 73.503 and 73.3527 of the Commission's rules, respectively, by broadcasting announcements promoting a for-profit entity and for failing to maintain the station's public file. In light of the station's otherwise unblemished prior enforcement record, however, we find that a monetary sanction is not warranted to redress this rule violation. See Note to Section 1.80 (b)(4) of the Commission's rules. Instead, we believe that an admonishment is appropriate under the circumstances of this case. IV. Ordering Clauses 17. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that a sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Isothermal Community College, licensee of noncommercial educational station WNCW(FM), Spindale, North Carolina, IS ADMONISHED for broadcasting advertisements in violation of
- http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/DA-02-1945A1.doc http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/DA-02-1945A1.pdf
- the World Communications, Inc., supra (where $5,000 forfeiture was originally imposed for numerous noncompliant television underwriting announcements repeated over one-year period). This case is more serious, as it involves the broadcast of a larger number of advertisements on many occasions over a lengthy period of time. These factors warrant substantial compounding of the base forfeiture amount. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(4). However, we do not find any other type of sanction to be necessary or justified at this time. 32. Finally, Lincoln asserts that we should sanction Minority for filing frivolous pleadings that have abused the Commission's processes. We decline to do so. Minority's pleadings filed relative to our underwriting investigation were not unauthorized from a procedural standpoint. See, e.g., 47

DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (``Act''), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines, 12 FCC Rcd 17087 (1997), recon. denied, 15 FCC Rcd 303 (1999) (``Policy Statement'').

- been lied to and scammed and that the station was a week away from dismantling when the FCC visited the station the second time. Finally, Mr. Muoz submits that neither he nor his church has the funds to pay the $10,000 forfeiture.

Finally, Monroe indicates that all of the violations have been corrected.

An increase in KPBS-FM's signal strength at Mt. Soledad, SDSU suggests, would help overcome any such interference. However, SDSU have provided no evidence that any adverse RITOIE effects exist, even at the present KPBS-FM ERP of 1.80 kW. Accordingly, a waiver on this basis is unwarranted. PTFP Funding. SDSU received a grant of $216,168 in federal funds from PTFP in 1997 to implement the Mt. Soledad operation authorized in construction permit BPED-19970211IA. SDSU is in jeopardy of losing this funding if it cannot implement improvements in KPBS-FM's service. However, economic matters are not considered when waivers of

In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') issued pursuant to Sections 309(k) and 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), by the Chief, Media Bureau by authority delegated under Section 0.283 of the Rules, we find that the Licensee apparently willfully violated Section 73.3539 of the Rules by failing to timely file a license renewal application for the Station, and willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Act, by engaging in unauthorized operation

- amended (``the Act''), provides that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply substantially with the terms and conditions of any license, or willfully fails to comply with any provisions of the Act or of any rule, regulation or order issued by the Commission thereunder, shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for construction and/or operation without an instrument of authorization for the service. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must also consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree

- station employees or agents, nor the subsequent remedial actions undertaken by the licensee, excuse or nullify a licensee's rule violation. We believe that, consistent with Commission precedent, a forfeiture, rather than designation for evidentiary hearing, is the appropriate sanction for the violation of Section 73.3526 in this case. Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 503(b) and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules, each state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty. For purposes of Section 503(b) of the Communications Act, the term ``willful'' means that the violator knew it was taking the action in question, irrespective of

In examining Alpine's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

Licensee asserts these reasons warrant a cancellation of the assessed forfeiture. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require. Licensee does

- that the proposed forfeiture should be cancelled or reduced on the ground of its inability to pay, and submits copies of its 2001, 2002, and 2003 federal income tax returns to establish its inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. III. DISCUSSION 5. The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In examining Tol-Tol's Request, Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require. 6.

- to the main menu and click on "File Form." Licensee states that it then followed the staff member's instructions, completed the forms in the correct order, and made certain that it clicked on "File Form." DISCUSSION The proposed forfeiture amount in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80 of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines. In examining Licensee's response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Commission take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of

- Application. However, the Bureau finds that MSG failed to submit all of the required information on the Application detailing a ``complete and final understanding'' between the licensee and assignee. Therefore, in this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), issued pursuant to 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), by the Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau, by the authority delegated under Section 0.283 of the Rules, we find that Mejia and MSG are each apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of three thousand dollars ($3,000). II. BACKGROUND Mejia and MSG submitted the Application on August 20, 2007. Pursuant to the
- http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/DA-08-1849A1.doc http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/DA-08-1849A1.pdf
- omission of the list. Furthermore, the proper proceeding to address Neely's arguments regarding the significance of the issues/programs lists is a rulemaking proceeding, not the results of an informal survey submitted in the context of his Response. As noted in the NAL, the proposed forfeiture amount in this case was determined in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In considering Neely's Request, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Bureau take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

- 73.3526 of the Rules based on its admission that the quarterly issues and programs lists for the second and third quarters of 2000 and the third and fourth quarters of 2001 were missing from its public file. As noted in the NAL, the proposed forfeiture amount in this case was determined in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In considering Entercom's Response, Section 503(b) of the Act requires that the Bureau take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.

As noted in the NAL, the proposed forfeiture amount in this case was determined in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In considering WMB's request, the statute, the rule, and our policy require that the Bureau take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice

Licensee also states that a 25% reduction in the forfeiture amount is warranted based on its voluntary disclosure of the public file deficiencies. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement.

- it was filed 10 weeks after WBLT(AM)'s license had expired. Despite WBLT's assertion that it neither "ignored nor neglected its renewal obligation," we find that its violation of Section 73.3539 of the Rules was willful and repeated. As noted in the NAL, the proposed forfeiture amount in this case was determined in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement.

The returns show: (a) for 2001, a loss of $ 5,332 on gross receipts of $11,879, (b) for 2002, an income of $1,622 on gross receipts of $ 18,786, and (c) for 2003, a loss of $ 7,009 on gross receipts of $15,343. Discussion Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Commission's Rules states that ``in determining the amount of forfeiture penalty, the Commission . . . will take into account . . . ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.'' In general, the Commission looks to gross revenues as the principal factor in determining inability to pay. A station's lack of profitability over a

- the needs and interests of their local communities. In this regard, where lapses occur in maintaining the public file, neither the negligent acts or omissions of station employees or agents, nor the subsequent remedial actions undertaken by the licensee, excuse or nullify a licensee's rule violation.'' Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') and Section 1.80(a) of the Rules state that persons who willfully or repeatedly fail to comply with the provisions of the Act or the Rules are liable for forfeiture penalties. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the Rules set a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for public file violations.

Licensee asserts that these reasons warrant a cancellation of the assessed forfeiture and the imposition of an admonishment. DISCUSSION The forfeiture amount proposed in this case was assessed in accordance with Section 503(b) of the Act, Section 1.80 of the Rules, and the Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement. In assessing forfeitures, Section 503(b)(2)(E) of the Act requires that we take into account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.

Finally, Licensee asserts that a forfeiture reduction is warranted because of its history of compliance with the Commission's Rules.

B. Proposed Forfeiture 9. Section 503(b) of the Act and Section 1.80(a) of the Commission's rules both state that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to comply with the provisions of the Act, the rules or Commission orders shall be liable for a forfeiture penalty.

The University further claims that its failure to comply with the public file rule was not an egregious action that merited a $9,000 base forfeiture amount. We disagree. The forfeiture amount proposed was the base amount indicated in the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules for public file violations. We believe the base amount is appropriate in the circumstances presented here. The University again argues that the forfeiture should be reduced or cancelled because paying the forfeiture amount would cause it significant financial hardship.

- commission or omission of [any] act, irrespective of any intent to violate'' the law. The legislative history to Section 312(f)(1) of the Act clarifies that this definition of willful applies to both Sections 312 and 503(b) of the Act, and the Commission has so interpreted the term in the Section 503(b) context. 9. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for the failure to file a required form. In determining the appropriate forfeiture amount, we must consider the factors enumerated in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, including ``the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation, and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior

Section 312(f)(2) of the Act provides that ``[t]he term `repeated,' when used with reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the commission or omission of such act more than once or, if such commission or omission is continuous, for more than one day.'' The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules establish a base forfeiture amount of $10,000 for violation of Section 73.3526.

The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Rules to Incorporate the Forfeiture Guidelines (``Forfeiture Policy Statement'') and Section 1.80 of the Rules sets a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for operation at an unauthorized location. However, a significant upward adjustment is justified in this case since Western's violation continued for three and a half years after WTB informed Western that the tower ``may have'' a

- U.S.C. 301 and 319(c); 47 C.F.R. 73.33(b). We will not impose a forfeiture for KRI's unauthorized construction in 1999 because when, as here, the violation involves a station not yet licensed, no forfeiture penalty can be imposed if the violation occurred more than one year prior to issuance of the Notice of Apparent Liability. See 47 C.F.R. 1.80(c). KRI's argument was originally based, in part, on its November 20, 2000, court case. As we have already granted tolling treatment for the court case, that matter could not provide a basis for any additional time through waiver.

- rules, regulations, and final orders of several agencies. Section 2342 of that act vests the courts of appeals with jurisdiction to review a final agency order. 7. In forfeiture proceedings, the FCC first issues "a citation of the violation charged" and provides "a reasonable opportunity for a personal interview with an official of the Commission." 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(5); 47 C.F.R. 1.80(d). The RMR administrative process terminated at this point because RMR stopped marketing the Spirit II. If an alleged violator subsequently engages in the prohibited conduct, however, the FCC may proceed to impose a monetary forfeiture, under either of two separate tracks, each with its own set of procedures and provisions for judicial review. In the more commonly-used track, the FCC

- and desist" from that activity. Jerry Szoka, FCC 98D-3, 1998 FCC LEXIS 4563, *1 (1998) (ALJ summary decision). The order also indicated that the Commission was considering "whether ... Szoka should forfeit $11,000"--the maximum daily penalty (adjusted for inflation) for a continuing violation of the Act. Id. at *1, *8 (citing 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(C)); see also 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(5) (detailing how to adjust forfeitures for inflation). The Chief of the Commission's Compliance and Information Bureau moved for summary decision of the issues identified in the show-cause order. Although Szoka conceded he had no license to operate Grid Radio, he objected to the summary judgment motion, arguing he had no obligation to comply with Commission licensing rules because the microbroadcasting

- case, the Commission issues a notice of apparent liability to the alleged violator, affording it only the opportunity to show, in writing, why no forfeiture penalty should be imposed. Id. 503(b)(4). The Commission may then issue an order direct- ing payment of the proposed forfeiture, reducing the amount to be paid, or canceling the forfeiture altogether. 47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(4). If the order becomes final and the forfeiture subject refuses to pay, then Communications Act section 504(a) permits the Commission to refer the matter to the Department of Justice for commencement of a civil action to recover the forfeiture in a district court, where the forfeiture subject is entitled to a trial de novo. 47 U.S.C. 504(a). The Commission

- and conditions of any TTT instrument or authorization issued by the Commission.'' 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)(A). FCC regulations authorize the Commission to assess a fine of up to $120,000 for each such individual violation or each day of a continuing violation, up to a maximum fine of $1.2 million ``for any single act or failure to act.'' 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(2). Factors the Commission shall ``take into account'' in determining the size of the fine include ``the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the viola- tion,'' as well as ``ability to pay.'' 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(D). The FCC imposed a fine of $6 million in this case because it considered SBC's refusal to provide shared-transport service to complete intraLATA toll calls

- on to find that SBC had "failed to offer shared transport" for intraLATA toll service in the five former Ameritech states, and that this failure violated 56 of the merger conditions. In the Matter of SBC Communications, Inc., 17 FCC Rcd 19,923, 19,923-24, 1-2 (2002) ("Forfeiture Order"). As authorized by 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(2)(B) and 47 C.F.R. 1.80(b)(2), (b)(5) (2002), the Commission imposed on SBC the statutory maximum fine of $1.2 million for each of the five states, for a total of $6 million. See Forfeiture Order, 17 FCC Rcd at 19,934-37, 22-27. SBC petitioned for review, and we upheld the Commission. SBC Communications, Inc. v. FCC, 373 F.3d 140, 151-52 (D.C. Cir. 2004) ("SBC I"). In
