Sec. 5.162  Notice of violation.

    (a) Any licensee who appears to have violated any provision of the 
Communications Act or any provision of this chapter, shall be served 
with a written notice calling the facts to his attention and requesting 
a statement concerning the matter.
    (b) Within 10 days from receipt of notice or such other period as 
may be specified, the licensee shall send a written answer, in 
duplicate, direct to the office of the Commission originating the 
official notice. If an answer cannot be sent nor an acknowledgment made 
within such 10-day period by reason of illness or other unavoidable 
circumstances, acknowledgment and answer shall be made at the earliest 
practicable date with a satisfactory explanation of the delay.
    (c) The answer to each notice shall be complete in itself and shall 
not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or answers to 
other notices. If the notice relates to violations that may be due to 
the physical or electrical characteristics of transmitting apparatus, 
the answer shall state fully what steps, if any, 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 
the promised date of delivery. If the installation of such apparatus 
requires a construction permit, the file number of the application shall 
be given, or if a file number has not been assigned by the Commission, 
such identification shall be given as will permit ready identification 
of the application. If the notice of violation relates to lack of 
attention to or improper operation of the transmitter, the name and 
license number of the operator in charge shall be given.
