   Equipment may be authorized, manufactured and imported under the rules
   in effect prior to June 23, 1989, in accordance with the following
   schedules:

   (a) For all intentional and unintentional radiators, except for
   receivers: Radio frequency equipment verified by the responsible party
   or for which an application for a grant of equipment authorization is
   submitted to the Commission on or after June 23, 1992, shall comply
   with the regulations specified in this part. Radio frequency equipment
   that is manufactured or imported on or after June 23, 1994, shall
   comply with the regulations specified in this part.

   (b) For receivers: Receivers subject to the regulations in this part
   that are manufactured or imported on or after June 23, 1999, shall
   comply with the regulations specified in this part. However, if a
   receiver is associated with a transmitter that could not have been
   authorized under the regulations in effect prior to June 23, 1989,
   e.g., a transmitter operating under the provisions of Sec. 15.209 or
   Sec. 15.249 (below 960 MHz), the transition provisions in this section do
   not apply. Such receivers must comply with the regulations in this
   part. In addition, receivers are subject to the provisions in
   paragraph (f) of this section.

   (c) There are no restrictions on the operation or marketing of
   equipment complying with the regulations in effect prior to June 23,

   intentional radiators within the band 902-905 MHz under the provisions
   of Sec. 15.249. Until that date, the Commission will not issue a grant of
   equipment authorization for equipment operating under Sec. 15.249 if the
   equipment is designed to permit operation within the band 902-905 MHz.

   (e) For cordless telephones: The manufacture and importation of
   cordless telephones not complying with Sec. 15.214(d) of this part shall
   cease on or before September 11, 1991. These provisions will not apply
   to cordless telephones which are repaired or refurbished, or
   re-imported after repair or refurbishment. Applications for a grant of
   equipment authorization of cordless telephones not complying with
   Sec. 15.214(d) of this part will not be accepted by the Commission after
   May 10, 1991. Cordless telephones that have previously received
   equipment authorization and that, without modification, already comply
   with the requirements of Sec. 15.214(d) of this part, need not be
   reauthorized.

   (f) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and
   frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning

   personal computers: The manufacture and importation of these products
   shall cease on or before June 19, 1997 unless these products have been
   authorized under a Declaration of Conformity or a grant of
   certification, demonstrating compliance with all of the provisions in
   this part. Limited provisions, as detailed in Sec. 15.101(d), are provided
   to permit the importation and manufacture of these products subsequent
   to this date where the CPU boards and/or power supplies are marketed
   only to personal computer equipment manufacturers.

   (h) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and
   frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning
   receivers, that do not comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121 shall
   cease on or before October 25, 1999. Effective July 26, 1999 the
   Commission will not grant equipment authorization for receivers that
   do not comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121. This paragraph does not
   prohibit the sale or use of authorized receivers manufactured in the
   United States, or imported into the United States, prior to October
   25, 1999.

   (i) Effective October 16, 2002, an equipment approval may no longer be
   obtained for medical telemetry equipment operating under the
