Sec. 101.303  Answers to notices of violation.

    Any person receiving official notice of a violation of the terms of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, any other Federal statute or 
Executive Order pertaining to radio or wire communications or any 
international radio or wire communications treaty or convention, or 
regulations annexed thereto to which the United States is a party, or 
the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, 
must, within 10 days from such receipt, send a written answer to the 
office of the Commission originating the official notice. If an answer 
cannot be sent or an acknowledgment made within such 10-day period by 
reason of illness or other unavoidable circumstances, acknowledgment and 
answer must be made at the earliest practicable date with a satisfactory 
explanation of the delay. The answer to each notice must be complete in 
itself and may not be abbreviated by reference to other communications 
or answers to other notices. If the notice relates to some violation 
that may be due to the physical or electrical characteristics of 
transmitting apparatus, the answer must state fully what steps have been 
taken to prevent future violations, and, if any new apparatus is to be 
installed, the date such apparatus was ordered, the name of the 
manufacturer, and promised date of delivery. If the installation of such 
apparatus requires a construction permit, the file number of the 
application must be given or, if a file number has not been assigned by 
the Commission, such identification as will permit ready reference 
thereto. If the notice of violation relates to inadequate maintenance 
resulting in improper operation of the transmitter, the name and license 
number of the operator performing the maintenance must be given. If the 
notice of violation relates to some lack of attention to, or improper 
operation of, the transmitter by other employees, the reply must 
enumerate the steps taken to prevent a recurrence of such lack of 
attention or improper operation.
