                                FORFEITURE ORDER

   Adopted: December 4, 2012 Released: December 4, 2012

   By the Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. In this Forfeiture Order, we issue a monetary forfeiture in the amount
       of eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000) to Inter Tech FM (Inter Tech)
       for willful and repeated violations of Section 302(b) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 2.803(a) of the
       Commission's rules and for willful violation of Section 1.17(a)(2) of
       the Commission's rules. The noted violations involve the marketing of
       an unauthorized FM broadcast transmitter in the United States, and the
       provision of incorrect material factual information to the Commission
       without a reasonable basis for believing that the information was
       correct.

    2. On February 2, 2009, the Enforcement Bureau's Spectrum Enforcement
       Division issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) to
       Inter Tech in the amount of $18,000. Inter Tech did not file a
       response to the NAL. Based on the information before us, we affirm the
       $18,000 forfeiture proposed in the NAL.

    3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and
       1.80 of the Commission's rules, Inter Tech FM IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY
       FORFEITURE in the amount of eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000) for
       willful and repeated violations of Section 302(b) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 2.803(a) of the
       Commission's rules, and for willful violation of Section 1.17(a)(2) of
       the Commission's rules.

    4. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in
       Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules within fifteen (15) calendar
       days after the release date of this Forfeiture Order.  If the
       forfeiture is not paid within the period specified, the case may be
       referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for enforcement of the
       forfeiture pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of
       1934, as amended. Inter Tech FM shall send electronic notification of
       payment to Nissa Laughner at Nissa.Laughner@fcc.gov, Daudeline Meme at
       Daudeline.Meme@fcc.gov, and Samantha Peoples at Sam.Peoples@fcc.gov on
       the date said payment is made.

    5. The payment must be made by check or similar instrument, wire
       transfer, or credit card, and must include the NAL/Account number and
       FRN referenced above. Regardless of the form of payment, a completed
       FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice) must be submitted. When completing
