  §  15.37   Transition provisions for compliance with the rules.

   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

   (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 § 15.209 or
   § 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,

   intentional radiators within the band 902-905 MHz under the provisions
   of § 15.249. Until that date, the Commission will not issue a grant of
   equipment authorization for equipment operating under § 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 § 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
   § 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 § 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

   the provisions of § 15.121(a)(1). These rules do not prohibit the sale
   or use of authorized receivers manufactured in the United States, or

   certification, demonstrating compliance with all of the provisions in
   this part. Limited provisions, as detailed in § 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 § 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 § 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 § 15.241 or § 15.242. The requirements for obtaining an approval for
