   Released: December 17, 2013

   By the District Director, Boston Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Fidelity Investments Inc.,
       licensee of Private Land Mobile Radio Station WQAG275, in Boston,
       Massachusetts. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of
       this Notice does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further
       action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability
       for Forfeiture for the violation noted herein.^

    2. On November 7, 2013, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Boston Office
       inspected Private Land Mobile Station WQAG275 and observed the
       following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 90.219 "Licensees authorized to operate radio systems in the
   frequency bands above 150 MHz may employ signal boosters at fixed
   locations in accordance with the following criteria: (a) The amplified
   signal is retransmitted only on the exact frequency(ies) of the
   originating base, fixed, or mobile, or portable station(s). . .(e)
   Certified equipment must be employed and the licensee must ensure that all
   applicable rule requirements are met." Fidelity Investments is authorized

   MHz.

       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.^

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Fidelity
       Investments Inc. to support its response to this Notice with an

       authority to verify the truth and accuracy of the information
       therein,^ and confirm that all of the information requested by this
       Notice which is in the possession, custody, control, or knowledge of
       Fidelity Investments Inc. has been produced. To knowingly and
       willfully make any false statement or conceal any material fact in
       reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title
       18 of the U.S. Code.^
