                                                      Released: July 20, 2009

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

    1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to Section 503(b)(5) of
       the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), to Ricardo Moore
       for violation of Section 15.5(b) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules").

    2. On June 24, 2009, the FCC's New York Office received a complaint from
       an FCC licensee concerning interference to its wireless
       telecommunications network in the 900 MHz SMR uplink band in Arverne,
       New York. On July 6, 2009, an agent from the New York Office
       investigated the allegation and located the interfering signal
       emanating from a residential house located in Arverne, New York.
       Further investigation revealed that the source of the interfering
       signal was an Astak surveillance camera system (model CM-918T2), a
       Part 15 device, located on the front wall of the house.

    3. Section 15.5(b) of the Rules  states that "[o]peration of an
       intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the
       conditions that no harmful interference is caused . . . ." Section
       15.5(c) provides that the "operator of a radio frequency device shall
       be required to cease operating the device upon notification by a
       Commission representative that the device is causing harmful
       interference." During the inspection on July 6, 2009, the agent warned
       the tenant at that location that they must cease operating the camera
       because it was causing interference to a licensed wireless
       telecommunications network.

    4. Violations of the Act or the Commission's Rules may subject the
       violator to substantial monetary forfeitures, seizure of equipment
       through in rem forfeiture action, and criminal sanctions including
       imprisonment.

    5. Ricardo Moore may request an interview at the closest FCC Office,
       which is Federal Communications Commission, 201 Varick Street, Suite
       1151, New York, New York, 10014. You may contact this office by
       telephone, (XXX) XXXX-XXXX to schedule this interview, which must take
       place within 14 days of this Citation. Ricardo Moore may also submit a
       written statement to the above address within 14 days of the date of
       this Citation. Any written statements should specify what actions have
       been taken to correct the violations outlined above. Please reference
       file number EB-09-NY-0219 when corresponding with the Commission.

    6. Any statement or information provided by you may be used by the
       Commission to determine if further enforcement action is required. Any
       knowingly or willfully false statement made in reply to this Citation
       is punishable by fine or imprisonment.

    7. IT IS ORDERED that copies of this Citation shall be sent by First
       Class U.S. Mail and Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to
