Case Number: EB-FIELDWR-18-00026102
On February 15, 2018, an Agent from the San Francisco Office of the Federal Communications 
Commission’s (FCC or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) investigated a complaint 
of interference to an authorized Land Mobile Radio Service Station operating on the frequency 
464.6375 MHz in Daly City, California.  During the investigation, the Agent found that the 
California State University East Bay, Hayward, California, was operating a transmitter on 
464.6375 MHz that was the source of the interference.  The Commission’s records show that no 
license was issued for California State University East Bay to operate on the frequency 
464.6375 MHz at this location in Hayward, California.

established in Part 15 of the Commission’s rules.
