IBM also suggests that we adopt the CISPR 22 emission limits as alternatives to our AC power line and radiated emission limits for intentional radiators in Sections 15.207 and 15.209 of the rules. IBM states this could eliminate multiple testing of computers that contain transmitters because our rules permit computers, but not transmitters, to be tested for compliance with the CISPR 22 limits, so multiple tests may be required for one device.

In each of these sections, a different limit applies to each band of frequencies, despite their adjacency. Courts have found that, in complex areas of regulation, an administrative agency often ``must create bright lines to separate prohibited and permissible activity.
