Dear Mr. White:

The Federal Communications Commission notified you by letter dated August 16, 2004, 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 call sign withheld)
(address withheld)
Andrews, TX 79714

In this 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 within 60 days of what steps your company would take to correct this reported interference problem. In addition, if unable to resolve this matter within 60 days, 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, please advise this office by December 12, 2004, of what action you have taken, or intend to take, in order to identify and correct the source of these radio emissions if they are being caused by equipment operated by Andrews Cleaners. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at 717-338-2502.

CC: FCC Regional Director
