                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-07-PA-396

   Document Number: W20083240007

   On November 21, 2007, the Commission's Philadelphia Office received a
   complaint alleging that Harrison Township Water Authority ("Harrison") was
   operating on the unauthorized General Mobile Radio Service ("GMRS")
   frequencies 462.650 MHz and 467.650 MHz. On December 7, 2007, an agent
   inspected the radio communications equipment at Harrison and found that
   Harrison was operating mobile radios in its vehicles on the frequency
   467.650 MHz, a control station at its main office in Natrona Heights,
   Pennsylvania on the frequency 467.650 MHz, and a repeater station on the
   frequency 462.650 MHz in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania.  The Commission's
   records show that Harrison is not authorized to operate radio transmitting
   equipment on any GMSR frequency including 462.650 MH and 467.650 MHz. 

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 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. S:S: 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.
