The FCC has fined a Jacksonville, Florida, CBer $10,000 for transmitting
without Commission authorization. The Commission released the Forfeiture
Order (NOF) to Tommie Salter on December 27. The FCC says that in March 2004
its Tampa Field Office, responding to interference complaints, restricted
Salter's hours of operation.

How can the FCC levy fines on CB operators when no licenses are issued
for the CB service anymore?

By operating a transmitter in violation of FCC rules. You might find the same
reaction were you to operate a high-power transmitter in the home-use bands, which
also don't require a licence, not that that would make any sense except to annoy the
neighbours.
