                        NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

								     Case
								     Number:
								     EB-FIELDSCR-16-00021371
	  Document Number: W201632500007

On April 13, 2016, in response to a complaint from Cellular One of
radio frequency interference (RFI) affecting the frequency range
of 824 MHz to 834 MHz in Nacogdoches, TX, an agent from this office
investigated the source of the RFI.  Using direction finding techniques,
the interference signal at 825.07 MHz was determined to be emanating from
the Walmart Supercenter located at 4810 North Street, Nacogdoches, Texas.
When the power was removed from the amplifier, the interference signal
ceased. The Commission's records show that no license has been issued
to Walmart Supercenter for operation of this station from this location
in Nacogdoches, Texas.

The Commission limits the use of both Consumer Signal Boosters and
Industrial Signal Boosters by requiring the signal booster operator,
in the case of a Consumer Signal Booster, to obtain the consent of
the licensee providing service to the subscriber, or, in the case of
an Industrial Signal Booster, to obtain an FCC license or the express
consent of the licensee(s) whose frequencies are being retransmitted by
the device.  In either scenario, the operation of the signal booster is
only "on a secondary, non-interference basis to primary services licensed
for the frequency bands on which they transmit, and to primary services
licensed for the adjacent frequency bands that might be affected by
their transmissions."
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, and may subject the responsible
parties to substantial monetary forfeitures.  Because unlicensed operation
creates a danger of interference to important radio communications
services and may subject the operator to severe penalties, this notice
emphasizes the importance of complying strictly with these legal
requirements.
Please respond within thirty (30) days from the date of this notice
with information: 1) showing that Walmart has authority granted by the
FCC to operate a signal booster; 2) showing that Walmart has obtained
consent from a commercial mobile radio licensee to operate a signal
booster; or 3) that Walmart is no longer operating a signal booster.
In addition, provide an explanation as to what has been done to correct
the interference issue and to ensure that it will not recur; provide
the equipment authorization for the equipment involved; and identify
the make, model and serial number of each piece of equipment including
the antennas if applicable.
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. § 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.
