III. BACKGROUND
3. On May 1, 2006, and June 1, 2006, agents of the Enforcement Bureau’s Honolulu 
Office conducted off air monitoring of radio station KNDI on 1270 kHz, in Honolulu, Hawaii.  On 
both days, KNDI did not retransmit the required monthly test (“RMT”) transmitted by the Hawaii 
State Civil Defense at approximately 11:15AM HST.  On June 14, 2006, agents of the 
Commission’s Honolulu Office conducted an inspection at the main studio of KNDI located at 1734 
South King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.  EAS equipment was installed but was not operational at the 
time of inspection.  The operator on duty was not able to successfully generate a manually-initiated 
Required Weekly Test (“RWT”).  The EAS receiver was only able to receive an audio signal from 
one of the two assigned monitoring sources. A review of the EAS log and printouts generated by 
the EAS Encoder/Decoder indicated that from April through June 2006, there were no RWTs 
received on channel one of the EAS equipment.  EAS logs also indicated that no RMTs were 
retransmitted in April and May 2006.  No entries were made by KNDI staff in the EAS log to 
identify the causes of these failures or what steps were taken to remedy any failures.  On June 15, 
2006, a Honolulu agent spoke with the KNDI contract engineer.  The engineer indicated that he 
inspected the KNDI EAS equipment earlier that day and acknowledged that he found problems with 
the equipment.  Specifically, he indicated that the EAS equipment had a faulty relay which 
prevented the unit from transmitting any tests.  Also, the power cord for a portable radio that 
provided the audio source for channel one of the EAS equipment was found unplugged inside the 
rack, which resulted in no reception of the channel one monitoring source.
4. On August 9, 2006, the Honolulu Office issued a Notice of Apparent Liability to 
BHP in the amount of $8,000 for apparent violations of Section 11.35(a) for failing to ensure the 
operational readiness of KNDI’s EAS equipment.

8. BHP and the Bureau agree that this Consent Decree does not constitute an

10. As further conditions to this agreement, BHP also agrees that:

with the Hawaii Department of Civil Defense, will initiate multi-language 
EAS announcements on KNDI(AM) in eleven ethnic Hawaiian languages.
b. Within thirty (30) days of the release date of the Order, BHP will implement 
an EAS Compliance Plan to ensure that no further violation of the

extensive training for all employees of KNDI(AM) concerning the activation, 
testing, and use of the KNDI(AM) EAS equipment. 
11. BHP and the Bureau acknowledge and agree that this Consent Decree shall 
constitute a final settlement between them. 
12. In express reliance upon the covenants and representations contained herein, the 
Bureau agrees to terminate the Enforcement Proceeding at such time as both parties sign this

13. BHP 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 Order adopting this Consent Decree, provided the Order adopts the 
Consent Decree without modification.
14. In the event that the Commission or its delegated authority find that BHP violates 
Section 11.35(a) of the Rules subsequent to the release of this Consent Decree and Order, BHP
agrees that the Commission or its delegated authority may consider the violations documented in 
the Enforcement Proceeding when determining an appropriate sanction.

which the Order is based, and shall consent to a judgment incorporating the terms of this Consent 
Decree.

under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 5 U.S.C. § 504 and 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1501 et seq.

subsequent rule or order adopted by the Commission will be superseded by such Commission rule 
or order.
