                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: October 17, 2008

   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 The Children's Village, licensee of
       private land mobile station WQIN480 in Dobbs Ferry, NY.

    2. On October 6, 2008, an agent of the Commission's New York Office
       monitored and inspected station WQIN480 located at Wetmore Hall, 1
       Echo Hill, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522, and observed the following
       violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S:1.903(a): ``Stations in the Wireless Radio Services 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.'' At the time of the investigation, it was determined that the
        base station was operating on a frequency of 151.4955 MHz, whereas
        the license for station WQIN480 specifies operation for the base
        station on a frequency of 151.4975 MHz.

     b. 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." At the time of the investigation, an agent observed
        that the Children's Village repeatedly initiated radio transmissions
        on 151.4975 MHz while other transmissions on the same frequency were
        already in progress.

     c. 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." On October 6, 2008, between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., The
        Children's Village did not transmit its call sign identification
        WQIN480 on the frequency 151.4975 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 Children's
       Village must submit a written statement concerning this matter within
       twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response must fully
       explain each violation, must contain a statement of the specific
       action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and
       should include a time line for completion of pending corrective
       action(s). The response must be complete in itself and signed by a
       principal or officer of The Children's Village. All replies and
       documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
