NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-06-SJ-015
Document Number: W20063268002
This office received a complaint that you and/or Islander Taxi Services
were operating an unlicensed radio system from Saint Thomas, USVI causing
radio interference to licensed users. On March 15, 2006, this office
monitored a radio communication on 152.315 MHz that identified as Islander
Taxi. Our records show that your license KVF630 had been canceled on June
10, 2004. On March 29, 2006 an agent from the San Juan office inspected
your station and corroborated the unlicensed nature of your operation.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation that
complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R. SS 15.1 et seq. Thus, this station is operating in
violation of 47 U.S.C. S 301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in
rem arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal
sanctions including imprisonment. (see 47 U.S.C. SS 401, 501, 503 and
510).
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY.
You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the
listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. S
552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff will use all
relevant material information before it to determine what, if any,
enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with FCC Rules.
This will include any information that you disclose in your reply.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
