                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 14, 2012

   By the Acting District Director, Philadelphia 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 Nextel Communications of the
       Mid-Atlantic, Inc. (Nextel), the licensee of Specialized Mobile Radio
       (SMR) Station WPSD599 in Philipsburg, New Jersey.

    2. On January 22, 2012 in response to a complaint of interference, agents
       of the Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia Office used radio direction
       finding techniques and located the interference source to a
       bi-directional amplifier (BDA) owned by Nextel and operated by the
       First Energy Telecommunications Facility at 301 Red School Lane in
       Phillipsburg, New Jersey. The agents conducted on/off tests and
       confirmed that the BDA was the source of the interference. During the
       inspection of the BDA's operation, the agents observed the following
       violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): "Stations in the Wireless Radio Service 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,
   except as specified in the Section 1.903(b)." The BDA was emitting a
   drifting signal on approximately 806.13 MHz, a frequency not authorized by
   Station WPSD599's license.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's rules, Nextel 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
       licensee. All replies and documentation sent in response to this
       Notice should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above,
       and mailed to the following address:

    4. This Notice shall be sent to Nextel Communications of the
