                 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   March 26, 2009

   Mr. Michael D. Garrett, President/CEO

   Georgia Power Company

   241 Ralph McGill Boulevard, N.E.

   Atlanta, GA 30308-3374

   Re: EB-09-GB-0026

   Mr. Garrett:

   The Federal Communications Commission contacted your company via telephone
   call in February of 2007 indicating that it had received complaints of
   harmful radio interference possibly caused by power line equipment
   maintained by your company. The interference was reported by:

   (name withheld)

   (address withheld)

   Suwannee, GA 30024

   Cell Phone: (withheld)

   Email: (withheld)

   On May 2, 2007, agents at the Commission's Atlanta field office spoke with
   another representative of Georgia Power (Mr. Mike Gibson) advising him
   that this problem, if unresolved, could be a violation of Commission rules
   and could possibly result in a monetary forfeiture. On that call, Mr.
   Gibson indicated that he was not familiar with the interference complaint
   but that he would make himself available for a meeting at the
   complainant's residence along with a representative of Jackson EMC (the
   other utility involved in the interference matter) and agents from the
   Commission's Atlanta field office.

   On May 14, 2007, agents from the Commission's Atlanta field office
   conducted a field inspection. They met with representatives of both
   Jackson EMC and Georgia Power. During the course of that field inspection,
   several sources of interference were located. Some of those sources were
   fixed immediately, but in several instances, the representatives of both
   Jackson EMC and Georgia Power indicated that they would have to return at
   a later date to correct the problem. The field agents noted that the power
   companies were to return, indicated that the companies had indicated their
   intent to continue to work with the complainant going forward, and advised
   the complainant to continue to contact the utility companies as problems
   arose. During the latter part of 2007 and into 2008, the licensee
   continued to experience interference and continued to contact Georgia
   Power via email to correct the problems.

   In November of 2008, the ARRL sent out a representative for an on-site
   investigation into the continuing problem. The ARRL representative used
   Radar Engineers noise-location equipment and located four (4) sources of
   noise within a one hour time period. The four (4) sources of noise are as
   follows:

   sB Jackson EMC Pole #P5858: The pole is located directly across the street
   from the complainant's driveway. The beam heading is SE from his station.

   sB Jackson EMC Pole #66490: The pole is located approximately 100 feet
   south of Bend Creek Trail on Suwannee Creek Road. The beam heading is SE
   from the complainant's station.

   sB Georgia Power Pole (no number available): The pole is located
   approximately 1000 feet north of Bend Creek Trail on Suwannee Creek Road.
   It is right next to a brick house mailbox, house number 3515. The heading
   from the complainant's station is NW.

   sB Georgia Power Pole #F7245: The pole is located directly across the
   street from the Georgia Power Pole referenced above. Its heading from the
   complainant's station is W-NW.

   Given the fact this case has been ongoing for quite some time without
   resolution and Georgia Power has had ample time to make the necessary
   repairs, you are directed to respond to the undersigned within 30 days of
   receipt of this letter detailing what steps you have taken to resolve the
   two (2) instances of interference listed above that are reported as being
   caused by Georgia Power equipment.

   Likewise, given the fact that the field investigation by the ARRL
   representative took place under severe time constraints and cannot be
   considered comprehensive, you are further directed to provide to the
   undersigned within 60 days of receipt of this letter a written report as
   to what steps Georgia Power has undertaken to locate and identify
   additional sources of interference and what steps Georgia Power intends to
   take to correct Mr. Pelham's radio frequency interference. Should the
   remaining interference problems not be resolved within those 60 days,
   Georgia Power will be required to provide the undersigned with a status
   update every two (2) weeks going forward as to what progress, if any, has
   been made to resolve the matter.

   If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at
   717-338-2577.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith

   Special Counsel

   Cc: Atlanta Field Office

   South Central Regional Director

   Agents at the FCC's Atlanta field office spoke with Mr. Chris Boyer of
   Georgia Power.

   While the complainant is not a customer of yours, his residence is within
   500 feet of the demarcation line between your territory and that of
   Jackson EMC.

   The equipment used during this investigation was: a Radar Engineers Model
   240A HF-UHF RFI locator and a Radar Engineers 390-415 Antenna.
