Agreed. The only other enforcement spelled out were duties involving
technical violations, including EBS/EAS issues. A lot of that hasn't been
done since the closing of local monitoring facilities some 15 years ago when
the regional offices were created. Most of the technical side of things is
self policed, usually with local associations paying a consultant to
inspect. But, I don't care anymore being "retired" from the biz!

All I have ever seen/known about are the statute (18 USC 1464), which
doesn't vest power of enforcement in anyone, and the regulation (47
CFR 73.3999), which falls under those of the commish.

The regulation ultimately springs from a Circuit Court of Appeals
decision in "Action for Children's Television vs. FCC" in 1995 ("ACT
II"; there had been a previous petition by the activist group in
1988), which ordered the commish to allow otherwise-actionable things
outside of the 6am-10pm window.
