   Equipment may be authorized, manufactured and imported under the rules in
   effect prior to June 23, 1989, in accordance with the following schedules:

   (a) For all intentional and unintentional radiators, except for receivers:
   Radio frequency equipment verified by the responsible party or for which an
   application for a grant of equipment authorization is submitted to the
   Commission on or after June 23, 1992, shall comply with the regulations
   specified in this part. Radio frequency equipment that is manufactured or
   imported  on or after June 23, 1994, shall comply with the regulations
   specified in this part.

   (b) For receivers: Receivers subject to the regulations in this part that
   are manufactured or imported on or after June 23, 1999, shall comply with
   the regulations specified in this part. However, if a receiver is associated
   with a transmitter that could not have been authorized under the regulations
   in effect prior to June 23, 1989, e.g., a transmitter operating under the
   provisions of  Sec. 15.209 or  Sec. 15.249 (below 960 MHz), the transition provisions
   in  this  section  do  not  apply. Such receivers must comply with the
   regulations  in  this  part. In addition, receivers are subject to the
   provisions in paragraph (f) of this section.

   (c) There are no restrictions on the operation or marketing of equipment
   complying with the regulations in effect prior to June 23, 1989.

   intentional radiators within the band 902–905 MHz under the provisions of
    Sec. 15.249. Until that date, the Commission will not issue a grant of equipment
   authorization for equipment operating under  Sec. 15.249 if the equipment is
   designed to permit operation within the band 902–905 MHz.

   (e) For cordless telephones: The manufacture and importation of cordless
   telephones not complying with  Sec. 15.214(d) of this part shall cease on or
   before September 11, 1991. These provisions will not apply to cordless
   telephones which are repaired or refurbished, or re-imported after repair or
   refurbishment.  Applications for a grant of equipment authorization of
   cordless telephones not complying with  Sec. 15.214(d) of this part will not be
   accepted by the Commission after May 10, 1991. Cordless telephones that have
   previously received equipment authorization and that, without modification,
   already comply with the requirements of  Sec. 15.214(d) of this part, need not be
   reauthorized.

   (f) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and frequency
   converters designed or marketed for use with scanning receivers, that do not

   26, 1994. Effective April 26, 1993, the Commission will not grant equipment
   authorization  for receivers that do not comply with the provisions of
    Sec. 15.121(a)(1). These rules do not prohibit the sale or use of authorized
   receivers manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United
   States, prior to April 26, 1994.

   computers: The manufacture and importation of these products shall cease on
   or before June 19, 1997 unless these products have been authorized under a

   compliance with all of the provisions in this part. Limited provisions, as
   detailed  in   Sec. 15.101(d),  are  provided to permit the importation and
   manufacture of these products subsequent to this date where the CPU boards
   and/or power supplies are marketed only to personal computer equipment
   manufacturers.

   (h) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and frequency
   converters designed or marketed for use with scanning receivers, that do not
   comply with the provisions of  Sec. 15.121 shall cease on or before October 25,
   1999.  Effective July 26, 1999 the Commission will not grant equipment
   authorization  for receivers that do not comply with the provisions of
    Sec. 15.121. This paragraph does not prohibit the sale or use of authorized
   receivers manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United
   States, prior to October 25, 1999.

   (i) Effective October 16, 2002, an equipment approval may no longer be
   obtained for medical telemetry equipment operating under the provisions of
