NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released:  November 22, 2011
By the District Director, New York Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to section 1.89 of the Commission’s 
rules1 to Warren County New Jersey, owner of antenna structure # 1215296 in Hackettstown, 
New Jersey.
2. On November 3, 2011, an agent of the Commission’s New York Office inspected antenna 
structure # 1215296 located at Upper Pohatcong Mountain Hackettstown, New Jersey 07840, and 
observed the following violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 17.23: “Unless otherwise specified by the Commission, each 
new or altered antenna structure to be registered on or after January 1, 1996, 
must conform to the FAA’s painting and lighting recommendations set forth 
on the structure’s FAA determination of ‘no hazard’.”  The FCC’s Antenna 
Structure Registration (“ASR”) database currently indicates that antenna 
structure number 1215296 requires aviation orange and white paint and red 
obstruction lighting in accordance with FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1K, 
Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 12.  The antenna structure does not conform to these 
recommendations, but is equipped with dual lighting with red obstruction 
lighting at night and medium intensity white flashing lights during the day, 
and therefore is in violation of 47 C.F.R. § 17.23.  In order to come into 
compliance with the Commission’s rules, Warren County New Jersey must: 
(1) obtain a new FAA “no hazard” determination indicating that the current 
system is permitted and then submit a modified antenna structure registration 
to reflect the new “no hazard” determination , (2) submit a modified 
registration if a new FAA “no hazard” determination already has been 
obtained or (3) come into compliance with the current ASR by painting the 
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 1.89.

structure in accordance with FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1K, Chapters 
3,4, 5, and 12.
b. 47 C.F.R. § 17.57:  “The owner of an antenna structure for which an Antenna 
Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify the 
Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction (FCC Form 854-
R) and/or dismantlement (FCC Form 854).”  During the inspection, the agent 
observed that construction of antenna structure number 1215296 had been 
completed; the FCC’s antenna structure registration database, however, still 
showed the structure’s status as “granted.”
3. Pursuant to section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,2 and section 1.89 of 
the Commission's rules, Warren County New Jersey must submit a written statement concerning 
this matter within 20 days of release of this Notice.  The response must fully explain each 
violation, must contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and 
preclude recurrence, and should include a time line for completion of pending corrective 
action(s).  The response must be complete in itself and signed by a principal or officer of Warren 
County New Jersey.  All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should be 
marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to the following address:

4. This Notice shall be sent to by Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested and regular mail to

5. The Privacy Act of 19743 requires that we advise you that the Commission will use all relevant 
material information before it, including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine 
what, if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance.  Any false statement made

18 of the U.S. Code.4
