It said the station failed to file 22 reports on time since 1998. Though Glendive said the bureau should reduce its fine because some of the violations occurred beyond the statute of limitations, the bureau disagreed and assessed the full fine.

The proposed fine isn’t for $16,000, which in one instance the NAL says erroneously, said a Media Bureau spokeswoman.
