FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Enforcement
Bureau
Spectrum Enforcement Division
1270 Fairfield Road
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325-7245
VIA CERTIFIED MAIL -- RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
June 27, 2006
Mr.
John W. Rowe, Chairman & CEO
Excelon Corporation
P.O. Box 805398
Chicago, IL 60680-5398
Dear Mr. Rowe:
The Federal Communications Commission previously notified you by letter on September 22, 2005 that it has received complaints of harmful radio interference possibly caused by equipment operated by your company. This interference has been reported by an operator in the Amateur Radio Service. The complainant is:
(name and address withheld)
Chicago Heights, IL
In the September 22, 2005 letter, you were advised that this problem, if unresolved, could be a violation of FCC rules and could result in a monetary forfeiture for each occurrence. For this reason, we encouraged the parties involved to voluntarily resolve this matter without FCC intervention. If however it became necessary to facilitate a resolution, the FCC might investigate possible rules violations and address appropriate remedies, including monetary forfeiture.
You were further advised to inform the complainant of what steps your utility company would take to correct this reported interference problem. In addition, if unable to resolve this matter within by October 14, 2005, you were advised to inform this office about the nature of the problem, the steps being taken to resolve it and the estimated time in which those steps can be accomplished. According to (name withheld), the harmful interference he reported to this office remains unresolved. Furthermore, you have responded to neither (name withheld) nor this office within the specified period of time.
In order to avoid possible enforcement action, it is
imperative that you advise this office within 20 days of receiving this letter, of
what action you have made, or intend to make, in order to identify and correct the
source of these radio emissions if they are being caused by your power-company's
equipment.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at 717-338-2502.
Sincerely,
W. Riley Hollingsworth
Special Counsel
