 Dear  Licensee: 
 This  letter  addresses  the  response  to  the  Notice  Of  Apparent  Liability  For  A  Forfeiture  (NAL)  in  the  amount  of  $3,000  issued  on  July  26,  2005,  against  Entravision  Holdings,  LLC 
 (“  Entravision”),  licensee  of  the  above-  captioned  station,  for  violation  of  Section  73.682(  d)  of  the  Commission’s  Rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §  73.682(  d),  by  failing  to  timely  implement  the  ATSC  A/  65B 
 Program  System  and  Information  Protocol  (PSIP)  standard  by  February  1,  2005.  1  As  described  herein,  we  cancel  the  forfeiture  imposed. 


 On  April  15,  2005,  Entravision  filed  a  request  for  waiver  of  the  PSIP  implementation  deadline  for  15  of  its  stations,  including  KNVO-  DT.  In  the  NAL,  we  found,  among  other  things, 
 that  KNVO-  DT  did  not  comply  with  the  February  1,  2005  PSIP  implementation  deadline,  and  did  not  seek  relief  from  that  obligation  by,  for  example,  filing  a  timely  request  for  a  waiver  or  for 
 an  extension  of  that  deadline.  We  also  stated  that  the  fact  that  we  granted  other  licensees’  timely  requests  for  relief  from  the  implementation  requirement  did  not  excuse  or  mitigate  the  failure  to 
 comply  with  the  PSIP  implementation  deadline  or  seek  appropriate  relief  for  this  station. 
 In  response  to  the  NAL,  you  state  that  although  a  waiver  was  requested  for  this  station,  you  later  learned  that  KNVO-  DT  had,  in  fact,  acquired  the  necessary  equipment  and  fully 
 implemented  the  PSIP  standard  on  or  before  February  1,  2005.  2  You  state  that  the  inclusion  of  the  station  in  the  April  15,  2005  waiver  request  was  an  error  resulting  from  miscommunication 
 among  individuals  involved  in  the  process.  You  therefore  assert  that  the  forfeiture  imposed  against  this  station  should  be  cancelled.

 Television,  Report  and  Order,  FCC  04-  192,  19  FCC  Rcd  18279,  18345  (2004). 
 2  To  support  your  claim,  you  have  submitted  a  Declaration  of  Manuel  Cavazos,  III,  Entravision’s  Vice  President 
 and  Director  of  Engineering,  dated  August  23,  2005.

 In  light  of  your  response  that  this  station  timely  implemented  the  PSIP  standard,  we  will  cancel  the  forfeiture  previously  imposed.  Nevertheless,  the  licensee  is  properly  admonished  to 
 pay  more  attention  to  the  continuing  accuracy  of  its  submissions  to  the  Commission. 
 Based  on  our  review  of  the  facts  and  circumstances  as  set  forth  above,  IT  IS  HEREBY  ORDERED,  That  pursuant  to  Section  503(  b)  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended, 
 and  Sections  0.61,  0.283,  and  1.80  of  the  Commission’s  Rules,  Entravision  Holdings,  LLC’s  request  to  cancel  or  reduce  the  forfeiture  imposed  against  KNVO-  DT  in  the  NAL  IS  GRANTED, 
 and  the  forfeiture  imposed  therein  IS  CANCELLED.
