   Case Number: EB-09-BS-0007

   Document Number: W200932260003

   On March 5, 2009, in response to a complaint of interference on the
   frequency 465.075 MHz from the Boston Police Department, agents from the
   Boston Office conducted an investigation and determined, using direction
   finding techniques, that radio signals on that frequency were emanating
   from a building located at a facility operated by Distrigas of
   Massachusetts LLC (Distrigas) on the Mystic River in Everett,
   Massachusetts. During an inspection conducted inside the building, agents
   determined that Distrigas was operating a telemetry base station on
   465.075 MHz. The Commission's records show that no license was issued
   for your operation on the frequency 465.075MHz at this location in
   Everett, MA.

   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 47
   U.S.C. S: 301 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.

   Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
   and Sections 1.17 the FCC's Rules, Distrigas is directed to provide the
   following information and any relevant documents:

    1. Any evidence that you have authority granted by the FCC to operate a
       telemetry base station on 465.075 MHz in Everett, MA.

    2. During the inspection of your radio system, agents observed that the
       transmitter was not identified with an assigned FCC ID number, as
       required by 47 C.F.R S: 2.925. Describe the process by which this
       equipment was selected for use and provide any contact information
       available for the vendor and/or installer.

    3. Provide the make and model number for the transmitter used in the
       operation of the telemetry base station on 465.075 MHz.

    4. Provide the date the radio system was installed and the date that
       operations commenced on 465.075 MHz.

    5. Describe any coordination efforts that were taken in selecting the
       frequency of operation, as required by 47 C.F.R. S: 90.175.

    6. Provide any information you have regarding similar systems installed
       at other locations in the United States.

    7. Provide any other information that may be relevant to this inquiry.

   Your response to this inquiry should reference the listed case and
   document number and must be supported by a sworn statement, signed by you,
   attesting to the truth and accuracy of the response. You should submit the
   sworn response so that it is received at the following address no later
   than 20 days from the date of this letter:
