Bodies.

   (a) The Commission will publish a “Pre-approval Guidance List”
   identifying the categories of equipment or types of testing for which
   Telecommunication Certification Bodies (TCBs) must request guidance
   from the Commission before approving equipment on the list.

   (b) TCBs shall use the following procedure for approving equipment on
   the Commission's pre-approval guidance list.

   (1) A TCB shall perform an initial review of the application and
   determine the issues that require guidance from the Commission. The TCB
   shall electronically submit the relevant exhibits to the Commission
   along with a specific description of the pertinent issues.

   (2) The TCB shall complete the review of the application in accordance
   with the Commission's guidance.

   (3) The Commission may request and test a sample of the equipment
   before the application can be granted.

   (4) The TCB shall electronically submit the application and all
   exhibits to the Commission along with a request to grant the
   application.

   (5) The Commission will give its concurrence for the TCB to grant the
   application if it determines that the equipment complies with the
   rules. The Commission will advise the TCB if additional information or
   equipment testing is required, or if the equipment cannot be certified
   because it does not comply with the Commission's rules.
