                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: August 8, 2007

   By the District Director, New York Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Township of Montclair ("Montclair")
       the licensee of land mobile radio station KEB238 in Montclair, New
       Jersey.

    2. On July 17, 2007, the New York Office received a complaint from the
       Village of Scarsdale, Scarsdale, New York ("Scarsdale"), the licensee
       of station WPCV667. Scarsdale reported that a constant carrier was
       causing harmful interference to Scarsdale's radio communications on
       frequency 158.790 MHz. On July 17, 2007, an agent determined that the
       constant carrier was being transmitted from Montclair's transmitter at
       Crestmore Drive in Montclair, NJ. On July 19, 2007 the agent conducted
       an inspection of Station KEB238. The investigation identified the
       following violations:

        a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.403(e): "Licensees shall take reasonable
           precautions to avoid causing harmful interference. This includes
           monitoring the transmitting frequency for communications in
           progress and such other measures as may be necessary to minimize
           the potential for causing interference." On July 17, 2007,
           Montclair's transmitter on 158.790 MHz was transmitting an
           un-modulated constant carrier causing harmful co-channel
           interference to the Scarsdale station WPVC667.

        b. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.425(a): "Except as provided for in paragraphs (d)
           and (e) of this section, each station or system shall be
           identified by the transmission of the assigned call sign during
           each transmission or exchange of transmissions, or once each 15
           minutes (30 minutes in the Public Safety Pool) during periods of
           continuous operation. The call sign shall be transmitted by voice
           in the English language or by International Morse Code in
           accordance with paragraph (b) of this section...." An agent
           monitored the un-modulated carrier being transmitted from
           Montclair's Crestmont road site on 158.790 MHz from 3:30 pm until
           8:30 pm and did not hear a transmission of an assigned callsign.

        c. 47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): "Stations in the Wireless Radio Service
           must be used and operated only in accordance with the rules
           applicable to their particular service as set forth in this title
           and with a valid authorization granted by the Commission under the
           provisions of this part...." According to the license for station
           KEB238, Montclair is authorized to operate from location Crestmont
           Road on the frequency 158.795 MHz. At the time of the inspection,
           the agent observed Township of Montclair operating on a frequency
           of 158.790 MHz.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, the Township of
