FORFEITURE ORDER
Adopted:  June 10, 2015 Released:  June 10, 2015
By the Regional Director, Northeast Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. We impose a penalty of $10,000 against Global Tower, LLC (Global) for failing to 
exhibit required lighting on its antenna structure and monitor its antenna structure lighting. Unlit antenna 
structures represent a significant public safety risk, especially to passing aircraft.  Global conceded that it 
was unaware of the lighting outage for multiple days and failed to properly monitor its antenna structure 
lighting or maintain an operational lighting alarm system, warranting a significant penalty.
2. On October 17, 2014, the Enforcement Bureau’s Detroit Office issued a Notice of 
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) in the amount of $10,000 to Global for willful and repeated 
violation of Section 303(q) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act)
1
and Sections 17.47(a) 
and 17.51(a) of the Commission’s rules (Rules)
2
for failing to: (1) monitor its antenna structure’s 
obstruction lighting on a daily basis or maintain an operational lighting alarm system; and (2) exhibit 
required red obstruction lighting on the antenna structure from sunset to sunrise.

Global has not filed a 
response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the forfeiture proposed in the NAL.
3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act
