§ 2.926   FCC identifier.

   (a)  A  grant  of certification will list the validated FCC Identifier
   consisting of the grantee code assigned by the FCC pursuant to paragraph (b)
   of this section, and the equipment product code assigned by the grantee
   pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. See § 2.925.

   (b) The grantee code assigned pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section is
   assigned permanently to applicants/grantees and is valid only for the party
   specified as the applicant/grantee in the code assignment(s).

   (c) A grantee code may consist of Arabic numerals, capital letters, or other
   characters. The format for this code will be specified by the Commission's
   Office  of  Engineering  and  Technology. A prospective grantee or its
   authorized representative may receive a grantee code electronically via the
   Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/eas. The code may be obtained at any time
   prior to submittal of the application for equipment authorization. However,
   the fee required by § 1.1103 of this chapter must be submitted and validated
   within 30 days of the issuance of the grantee code, or the code will be
   removed from the Commission's records and a new grantee code will have to be
   obtained.

   (1) After assignment of a grantee code each grantee will continue to use the
   same grantee code for subsequent equipment authorization applications. In
   the event the grantee name is changed or ownership is transferred, the
   circumstances shall be reported to the Commission so that a new grantee code
   can  be assigned, if appropriate. See § 2.929(c) and (d) for additional
   information.

   In the event the grantee name is changed or ownership is transferred, the
   circumstances shall be reported to the Commission so that a new grantee code
   can  be assigned, if appropriate. See § § 2.934 and 2.935 for additional
   information.

   (2) [Reserved]

   (d) The equipment product code assigned by the grantee shall consist of a
   series of Arabic numerals, capital letters or a combination thereof, and may
   include  the dash or hyphen (-). The total of Arabic numerals, capital
   letters and dashes or hyphens shall not exceed 14 and shall be one which has
   not been previously used in conjunction with:

   (1) The same grantee code, or

   (2) An application denied pursuant to § 2.919 of this chapter.

   (e) No FCC Identifier may be used on equipment to be marketed unless that
   specific  identifier  has  been  validated  by  a  grant  of equipment
   certification. This shall not prohibit placement of an FCC identifier on a
   transceiver which includes a verified receiver subject to § 15.101 of this
   chapter,  provided that the transmitter portion of such transceiver is
   covered  by a valid grant of type acceptance or certification. The FCC
   Identifier is uniquely assigned to the grantee and may not be placed on the
   equipment without authorization by the grantee. See § 2.803 for conditions
   applicable to the display at trade shows of equipment which has not been
   granted  equipment authorization where such grant is required prior to
   marketing. Labelling of such equipment may include model or type numbers,
   but shall not include a purported FCC Identifier.
