§ 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.
