NOTICE OF VIOLATION


		Released: May 13, 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 47 CFR § 1.89.
 to Centro Cristiano De Vida Eterna (Centro Christiano), licensee of FM station K213CS (Station) in Dallas, Texas.  Pursuant to section 1.89(a) of the Commission’s 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 February 3, 2026, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s Dallas Office investigated a complaint into the Station’s operating schedule and observed the following violation:

a. 47 CFR § 74.1263(c): “The licensee of an FM translator or booster station must notify the Commission of its intent to discontinue operations for 30 or more consecutive days. Notification must be made within 10 days of the time the station first discontinues operation and Commission approval must be obtained for such discontinued operation to continue beyond 30 days. The notification shall specify the causes of the discontinued operation and a projected date for the station's return to operation, substantiated by supporting documentation.” At the time of inspection, the Station’s operations were discontinued.  A representative of the owner of the antenna structure hosting the Station’s equipment confirmed that the equipment had been removed from the structure on December 5, 2025, and its operations had been discontinued for more than 30 consecutive days by the time of inspection.  Centro Cristiano failed to submit a request for Special Temporary Authority to the Commission for the Station to remain silent. 


3. Pursuant to section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), and section 1.89 of the Commission’s rules, we seek additional information concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken. 47 U.S.C. 308(b); 47 CFR § 1.89.
  Therefore, Centro Cristiano must submit a written statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice.  The response (i) must fully explain each violation, including all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for completion of any pending corrective action(s).  The response must be complete in itself and must not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or answers to other notices. 47 CFR § 1.89(c).


4. In accordance with section 1.16 of the Commission’s rules, we direct Centro Cristiano to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of Centro Cristiano with personal knowledge of the representations provided in Centro Cristiano’s response, verifying the truth and accuracy of the information therein, and confirming that all of the information requested by this Notice which is in the licensee’s possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. Section 1.16 of the Commission’s rules provides that “[a]ny document to be filed with the Federal Communications Commission and which is required by any law, rule or other regulation of the United States to be supported, evidenced, established or proved by a written sworn declaration, verification, certificate, statement, oath or affidavit by the person making the same, may be supported, evidenced, established or proved by the unsworn declaration, certification, verification, or statement in writing of such person . . . .  Such declaration shall be subscribed by the declarant as true under penalty of perjury, and dated, in substantially the following form . . . :  ‘I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.  Executed on (date).  (Signature)’.”  47 CFR § 1.16.
