Released: March 25, 2026

By the Regional Director, Region Two, Enforcement Bureau:

1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission’s rules (Rules) 47 CFR § 1.89.
 to Iglesia Cristiana Ebenezer, Inc., owner of antenna structure number 1053688 (Antenna Structure), in Garland, Texas.  Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the violations noted herein. 47 CFR § 1.89(a).  


2. On August 25, 2025, an Agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s Dallas Office conducted an inspection of the Antenna Structure and observed the following violations:

a. 47 CFR § 17.6 (a): “The antenna structure owner is responsible for maintaining the painting and lighting in accordance with this part.” According to the most recent FAA obstruction evaluation study See Federal Aviation Administration, Obstruction Evaluation Report 2002-ASW-793-OE (on file in EB-FIELDSCR-25-00039099).
, the Antenna Structure is required to be painted and lighted. At the time of inspection, the Agent observed that the Antenna Structure’s owner had failed to maintain the structure’s paint in accordance with applicable FAA requirements.

b. 47 CFR § 17.50: “Cleaning and repainting. Antenna structures requiring painting under this part shall be cleaned or repainted as often as necessary to maintain good visibility. Evaluation of the current paint status shall be made by using the FAA's In-Service Aviation Orange Tolerance Chart. This chart is based upon the color requirements contained in the National Bureau of Standards Report NBSIR 75-663, Color Requirements for the Marking of Obstructions.”  At the time of inspection, the Agent observed that the Antenna Structure’s paint was severely faded, was not maintaining good visibility, and was out of compliance with the applicable requirements in FAA’s In-Service Aviation Orange Tolerance Chart.
