1. This is a Notice of Violation (“Notice”) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s Rules1 to AAT Communications Corporation, owner of antenna structure 
# 1042162 in Houston, Texas.
2. On May 4, 2009, an agent of the Commission’s Houston Office of the Enforcement 
Bureau observed antenna structure # 1042162 located near Houston, Texas, and observed 
the following violation(s):
a. 47 C.F.R. § 17.47: “The owner of any antenna structure which is 
registered with the Commission and has been assigned lighting 
specifications referenced in this part: (a)(1) Shall make an 
observation of the antenna structure’s lights at least once each 24 
hours either visually or by observing an automatic properly 
maintained indicator designed to register any failure of such lights, to 
insure that all such lights are functioning properly as required: or 
alternatively, (2) Shall provide and properly maintain an automatic 
alarm system designed to detect any failure of such lights and to 
provide indication of such failure to the owner.”  An investigation 
revealed that the automatic alarm system used for this antenna 
structure did not detect or provide indication that the tower lighting 
was not operating in the correct mode.
b. 47 C.F.R. § 17.51(a): “All red obstruction lighting shall be exhibited 
from sunset to sunrise unless otherwise specified.” After local sunset, 
the tower lighting continued flashing white and did not transition to 
flashing red.
