   Released: July 23, 2013

   By the District Director, Detroit Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Coolarity A2, LLC, licensee of
       AM Station WAAM, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 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 violation(s)
       noted herein.^

    2. On July 2, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit Office
       inspected Station WAAM located at 4230 Packard Road, Ann Arbor, MI and
       observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 11.56: "Obligation to process CAP-formatted EAS messages. (a)
   On or by June 30, 2012, EAS Participants must have deployed operational
   equipment that is capable of the following: (1) Acquiring EAS alert
   messages in accordance with the monitoring requirements in S11.52(d)(2);
   (2) Converting EAS alert messages that have been formatted pursuant to the
   Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
   (OASIS) Common Alerting Protocol..." During the inspection, the agent
   observed that Station WAAM did not have the required CAP-formatted EAS
   equipment installed.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its licensees.

    4. Pursuant to Section 308(b)  of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended,^ and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional
       information concerning the violation and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, Coolarity A2, LLC 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.^

    5. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Coolarity A2,
       LLC.  to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
