                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-08-LA-0295 Document Number: W200932900001

   The Los Angeles Office received a complaint from Verizon Wireless
   ("Verizon"), a FCC licensed user, that radio emissions from your building
   were causing interference to their cellular sites. On October 7, 2008, an
   agent from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that
   radio signals, including those on frequency 842 MHz, were emanating from a
   building occupied by Wood Group Field Services, Inc. ("WG") in Santa Fe
   Springs, CA. An Operations Manager informed the agent that an amplifier
   had been installed to increase the signals for mobile phones. In a
   subsequent telephone conversation, another employee informed the agent
   that a BDA (bi-directional amplifier), which is an in-building radiation
   system had been removed from service as a result of the complaint.

   Section 22.383 of the Commission's Rules, which applies to Public Mobile 
   Services licensees,  provides that "[l]icensees may install and operate
   in-building radiation systems without applying for authorization or
   notifying the FCC, provided that the locations of the in-building
   radiation systems are within the protected service area of the licensee's
   authorized transmitter(s) on the same channel or channel block." A
   licensee's authority to install a BDA does not, without further
   authorization from the licensee, permit a subscriber to install a BDA.

   The frequency 842 MHz is authorized for use by Verizon. Verizon has
   informed the Commission that it did not provide you authorization to
   install a BDA. Furthermore, Commission records show no license issued to
   WG for operation of a radio station at this location on 842 MHz.

   Operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid FCC
   authorization or license is a violation of Section 301 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 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 owner of this illegal operation to severe penalties,
   including, but not limited to, substantial civil forfeitures, a maximum
   criminal fine of $100,000 and/or one year imprisonment, or arrest of the
   equipment for the first offense (see 47 U.S.C. S:S: 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.
