  • Chief, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we deny the petition for reconsideration (``petition'') filed by Playa del Sol Broadcasters (``Playa del Sol''). Playa del Sol seeks reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order in which the Chief, Enforcement Bureau, found it liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $12,000 for violation of Sections 11.35, 11.61, and 73.1125 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The noted violations involve Playa del Sol's failure to ensure that required Emergency Alert System (``EAS'') equipment was operational, failure to conduct required tests of Station KRCK-FM's EAS equipment and failure to maintain a main studio. In its petition, Playa del Sol does not dispute the violations but instead seeks rescission or reduction

It should be noted that although the agents found that the station logs showed no entries of EAS tests for WLAA since December 30, 2002, Rama was not charged in the NAL with a violation of Section 11.61 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 11.61, for what was believed to be an apparent failure to test the EAS equipment. Rama again argues that its logging error resulted from its failure to properly label the combined log for WOKB and WLAA. Petition at ¶ 8. We do not dispute this contention (see note 10, infra), and point out that

The Chief of the Enforcement Bureau, however, cancelled a portion of the amount of the proposed forfeiture with no adverse action whatsoever.'' We have reviewed the Palmetto case, in which the Enforcement Bureau cancelled a forfeiture assessed to Palmetto for violating Section 11.61 of the Rules, concerning the requirement that broadcast stations conduct monthly EAS tests. Contrary to the description of the Palmetto case by Farmworkers in its Petition, the Section 11.61 forfeiture was cancelled because Palmetto produced a sworn statement from the station's general manager stating that it did monitor and conduct weekly and monthly tests as of the date of the

EAS Participants are required to conduct tests at regular intervals as specified in Section 11.61, and such tests are required to conform with the procedures in the EAS Operating Handbook. Section 11.61(a)(2) of the Rules and the EAS Handbook specify EAS test procedures for AM and FM broadcast stations, providing that required weekly tests consist of transmitting the EAS header codes and the EOM code.

  • By the Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau: introduction In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, we find Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, Inc., licensee of FM radio station KWVE (also referred to as ``KWVE'' or ``Licensee''), in San Clemente, California, apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for willful violation of Section 11.61(a) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). The apparent violation involves station KWVE's transmission of an unauthorized Required Monthly Test (``RMT'') of the Emergency Alert System (``EAS'') in a manner that was not in accordance with the procedures specified in the EAS Operating Handbook, in violation of Section 11.61(a) of the Rules.

Newly amended section 11.61(a)(3)(iii) of the Commission rules states in relevant part: ``Notice shall be provided to EAS Participants by the Commission at least two months prior to the conduct of any ... national test.''

Limitations of the Commission's EAS Testing Rules Currently, the Commission's Part 11 rules provide for mandatory weekly and monthly tests at the state and local level. The rules also provide for ``[p]eriodic [n]ational [t]ests'' and ``special tests.'' at the state or local level. Section 11.61(a) further states that in addition to the EAS testing at regular intervals prescribed by the rules ``additional tests may be performed anytime.'' However, Part 11 does not contain comparable rules for testing of EAS at the national level. While the current rules give the Commission broad authority over EAS testing, the rules generally focus on testing of components of the

  • contain rules that specifically authorize testing of EAS at the national level, or establish procedures for such a test. We believe that this is a serious gap. Further, although the Part 11 rules give the Commission broad authority over EAS testing, the rules generally focus on testing of components of the system rather than the system as a whole. Sections 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2) specify in detail the requirements for mandatory weekly and monthly EAS tests that are conducted at the state and local level. However, these tests are designed to ascertain whether the EAS equipment belonging to individual EAS Participants is functioning properly; they do not test whether the various EAS Participants' equipment works together within the national EAS infrastructure well

  • After reviewing these rules, we observe that the analog and digital broadcast station equipment deployment table in section 11.11(a) incorrectly identifies ``LPFM'' in the column that is supposed to contain Class A TV and incorrectly identifies ``LPTV'' in the column that should contain ``LPFM.'' In addition, it appears that the Commission inadvertently omitted ``LPFM'' from the test requirements in section 11.61(a)(1)(i) (LPFM stations are only supposed to have to transmit test script, just like LPTV stations) and section 11.61(a)(2)(ii) (LPFM stations are only required to log receipt of the test, just like LPTV stations). We tentatively conclude that we should correct these clerical errors. We seek comment on this tentative conclusion. Training. Some parties responding to the Part 11 Public Notice
