photographs of the equipment of sufficient clarity to reveal its 
external appearances and size, both front and back;
    (6) A signed statement attesting to the following or its equivalent:

    This equipment has been tested in accordance with the requirements 
contained in the appropriate Commission regulations. To the best of my 
knowledge, these tests were performed using measurement procedures 
consistent with industry or Commission standards and demonstrate that 
the equipment complies with the appropriate standards. Each unit 
manufactured, imported or marketed, as defined in the Commission's 
regulations, will conform to the sample(s) tested within the variations 
that can be expected due to quantity production and testing on a 
statistical basis. I further certify that the necessary measurements 
were made by (state the name and address of the test facility even if 
your own facility was used).

    (7) For equipment subject to the provisions of part 15 of this 
chapter, the application shall indicate if the equipment is being 
authorized pursuant to the transition provisions in Sec. 15.37 of this 
chapter.
    (8) Applications for the notification of receivers contained in 
frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning 
receivers shall include a statement describing the methods used to

    (d) The authorization of the equipment through the notification 
procedure may be revoked pursuant to Sec. 2.939.
    (e) Further information may be requested prior to the issuance of a

which may be deemed necessary.
    (f) For a composite system that incorporates only devices subject to 
certification, verification and/or notification and that are contained 
in a single

enclosure, a separate application, FCC Form 731, with the appropriate 
fee shall be submitted for each type of device within the enclosure. At 
the option of the applicant, a single FCC identifier may be requested 
for that system. Fees are based on the number of devices and types of 
authorizations.
    (g) The records of measurement data, measurement procedures, 
photographs, circuit diagrams, etc. for a device subject to notification 
shall be retained for two years after the manufacture of said equipment 
has been permanently discontinued, or, if the responsible party is
