   Re: File No. EB-08-TC-464

   Dear Mr. Schad:

   This is an official CITATION, issued pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), 47 U.S.C. S: 503(b)(5),
   for violations of the Act and the Federal Communications Commission's
   rules that govern telephone solicitations and unsolicited advertisements.
   As explained below, you may appeal this citation. In addition, future
   violations of the Act or Commission's rules in this regard may subject you
   and your company to monetary forfeitures.

   Attached is a consumer complaint regarding an autodialed, prerecorded, or
   artificial voice message that your company, acting under your direction,
   has delivered to an emergency telephone line, a telephone line of a guest
   or patient room at a health care facility, or a telephone number assigned
   to a paging service, cellular telephone service or any service for which
   the called party is charged for the call. This complaint indicates that
   you and your company have violated section 227(b)(1)(A) of the Act and
   section 64.1200(a)(1) of the Commission's rules. See 47 U.S.C. S:
   227(b)(1)(A); 47 C.F.R. S: 64.1200(a)(1).

   Under Section 227(b)(1)(A) of the Act and section 64.1200(a)(1) of the
   Commission's rules, it is unlawful for any person within the United
   States, or any person outside the United States if the recipient is within
   the United States to initiate calls using an automatic telephone dialing
   system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to (1) any emergency
   telephone line, (2) the telephone line of any guest or patient room at a
   health care facility, or (3) any telephone number assigned to a paging
   service, cellular telephone service or any service for which the called
   party is charged for the call. The provisions provide exceptions when the
   call is made (1) for emergency purposes, or (2) with the prior express
   consent of the called party.

   If, after receipt of this citation, you or your company violate the
   Communications Act or the Commission's rules in any manner described
   herein, the Commission may impose monetary forfeitures not to exceed
   $11,000 for each such violation or each day of a continuing violation.

   You may respond to this citation within 30 days from the date of this
   letter either through (1) a personal interview at the Commission's Field
   Office nearest to your place of business, or (2) a written statement. You
   may use this response to appeal this citation. For example, you may claim
   that you can document that the calls were made for emergency purposes or
   that you had the prior express consent of the called party. In addition,
   your response should specify the actions that you are taking to ensure
   that you do not violate the Commission's rules governing prerecorded
   messages, as described above.

   You may schedule a personal interview at the nearest Commission field
   office. These offices are located in: Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Chicago,
