The Commis sion believes that licensees ought to be promptly notified of tower light failure by their monitoring equipment so as to be able to initiate prompt remedial action. However, equip ment which notifies the licensee and the FAA simulta neously of tower lighting failures may be employed optionally. 29. The Commission notes that Section 73.1213(c) per mits broadcast licensees sharing a common antenna tower to select a "designated licensee" with primary responsibility for painting and lighting maintenance. By inference the same licensee may be charged with notifying the FAA about lighting problems. Should that person fail to notify the FAA in the event of a lighting failure, however, the responsibility falls upon each of the

(``Natchez'') for willful violation of Section 73.1213(b) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The noted violation involves an antenna tower with defective paint and nonfunctioning lighting.

In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Enforcement Bureau and Natchez Communications, Inc. (``Natchez''). The Consent Decree terminates the Enforcement Bureau's forfeiture proceeding against Natchez. Natchez, licensee of WTYJ(FM), apparently violated Sections 17.4(g), 17.50, and 73.1213(b) of the Commission's Rules. 2. The Consent Decree provides that, among other things, Natchez will implement a Compliance Program to ensure its future compliance with the Commission's Rules and will make an $8,000 voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury. 3.

On August 9, 1999, Natchez opposed the NAL on the basis that the violations were not willful and, in the alternative, requested reduction in the forfeiture to $1,000, citing financial hardship of the Station.

In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Enforcement Bureau and Natchez Communications, Inc. (``Natchez''). The Consent Decree terminates the Enforcement Bureau's forfeiture proceeding against Natchez. Natchez, licensee of WTYJ(FM), apparently violated Sections 17.4(g), 17.50, and 73.1213(b) of the Commission's Rules. 2.

On August 9, 1999, Natchez opposed the NAL on the basis that the violations were not willful and, in the alternative, requested reduction in the forfeiture to $1,000, citing financial hardship of the Station.

In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Enforcement Bureau and Natchez Communications, Inc. (``Natchez''). The Consent Decree terminates the Enforcement Bureau's forfeiture proceeding against Natchez. Natchez, licensee of WTYJ(FM), apparently violated Sections 17.4(g), 17.50, and 73.1213(b) of the Commission's Rules. 2. The Consent Decree provides that, among other things, Natchez will implement a Compliance Program to ensure its future compliance with the Commission's Rules and will make an $8,000 voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury. 3.

On August 9, 1999, Natchez opposed the NAL on the basis that the violations were not willful and, in the alternative, requested reduction in the forfeiture to $1,000, citing financial hardship of the Station.

  • No sufficient justification was given for changing this rule. The Commission believes that licensees ought to be promptly notified of tower light failure by their monitoring equipment so as to be able to initiate prompt remedial action. However, equipment which notifies the licensee and the FAA simultaneously of tower lighting failures may be employed optionally. The Commission notes that Section 73.1213(c) permits broadcast licensees sharing a common antenna tower to select a "designated licensee" with primary responsibility for painting and lighting maintenance. By inference the same licensee may be charged with notifying the FAA about lighting problems. Should that person fail to notify the FAA in the event of a lighting failure, however, the responsibility falls upon each of the other
