- APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: February 7, 2011 Released: February 8, 2011 By the District Director, Tampa Office, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau: INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), we find that Vincent E. Aversa, Jr. (``Mr. Aversa'') apparently willfully and repeatedly violated section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act'') and section 80.13 of the Commission's rules (``Rules''), by operating radio transmission equipment without a license on the International Distress, Safety, and Calling Channel (``Marine Safety Channel 16''). We conclude that Mr. Aversa is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000).

Section 301 of the Act sets forth the general mandate that no person shall use or operate any apparatus for the transmission of energy or communications or signals by radio within the United States except under and in accordance with the Act and with a license. Further, Section 80.13 of the Rules requires that any land station operating in the Maritime Radio Service be licensed. On February 25, 2002, Amethyst operated a marine coast station on Marine Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) which adversely affected the Coast Guard's ability to monitor for transmissions from vessels in distress, and it did so without a license. In its response, Amethyst states that,
