Sec. 2.933  Change in identification of equipment.

    (a) A new application for equipment authorization shall be filed 
whenever there is a change in the FCC Identifier for the equipment with 
or without a change in design, circuitry or construction. However, a 
change in the model/type number or trade name performed in accordance 
with the provisions in Sec. 2.924 is not considered to be a change in 
identification and does not require additional authorization from the 
Commission.
    (b) An application filed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section 
where no change in design, circuitry or construction is involved, need 
not be accompanied by a resubmission of equipment or measurement or test 
data customarily required with a new application, unless specifically 
requested by the Commission. In lieu thereof, the applicant shall attach 
a statement setting out:
    (1) The original identification used on the equipment prior to the 
change in identification.
    (2) The date of the original grant of the equipment authorization.
    (3) The original type approval number assigned by the Commission, if 
one was assigned.
    (4) How the equipment bearing the modified identification differs 
from the original equipment.
    (5) Whether the data previously filed with the Commission (or 
measured by the Commission in the case of type approved equipment or 
measured by the applicant in the case of notified equipment) continues 
to be representative of and applicable to the equipment bearing the 
changed identification.
    (6) In the case of type accepted equipment, the photographs required 
by Sec. 2.983(f).
    (7) In the case of certified equipment, the photographs required by 
Sec. 2.1033(b)(7) showing the exterior appearance of the equipment, 
including the operating controls available to the user and the 
identification label. Photographs of the construction, the component 
placement on the chassis, and the chassis assembly are not required to 
be submitted unless specifically requested by the Commission.
    (c) If the change in the FCC Identifier also involves a change in 
design or circuitry which falls outside the purview of a permissive 
change described in Secs. 2.977, 2.1001 or 2.1043, a complete 
application shall be filed pursuant to Sec. 2.911.
