Sec.  2.926   FCC identifier.

   (a) A grant of equipment authorization issued by the Commission will list
   the validated FCC Identifier consisting of the grantee code assigned by the
   FCC pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, and the equipment product
   code assigned by the grantee pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. See
    Sec. 2.925.

   (b) The grantee code assigned pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section is
   assigned permanently to applicants/grantees and is valid only for the party
   specified as the applicant/grantee in the code assignment(s).

   (c) A grantee code will have three characters consisting of Arabic numerals,
   capital letters, or combination thereof. A prospective grantee or his
   authorized representative may receive a grantee code electronically via the
   Internet at https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/index.cfm. The code
   may be obtained at any time prior to submittal of the application for
   equipment authorization. However, the fee required by  Sec. 1.1103 of this
   chapter must be submitted and validated within 30 days of the issuance of
   the grantee code, or the code will be removed from the Commission's records
   and a new grantee code will have to be obtained.

   (1) After assignment of a grantee code each grantee will continue to use the
   same grantee code for subsequent equipment authorization applications.

   In the event the grantee name is changed or ownership is transferred, the
   circumstances shall be reported to the Commission so that a new grantee code
   can be assigned, if appropriate. See  Sec.  Sec. 2.934 and 2.935 for additional
   information.

   (2) [Reserved]

   (d) The equipment product code assigned by the grantee shall consist of a
   series of Arabic numerals, capital letters or a combination thereof, and may
   include the dash or hyphen (-). The total of Arabic numerals, capital
   letters and dashes or hyphens shall not exceed 14 and shall be one which has
   not been previously used in conjunction with:

   (1) The same grantee code, or

   (2) An application denied pursuant to  Sec. 2.919 of this chapter.

   (e) No FCC Identifier may be used on equipment to be marketed unless that
   specific identifier has been validated by a grant of equipment authorization
   issued by the Commission. This shall not prohibit placement of an FCC
   identifier on a transceiver which includes a verified receiver subject to
    Sec. 15.101, provided that the transmitter portion of such transceiver is
   covered by a valid grant of type acceptance or certification. The FCC
   Identifier is uniquely assigned to the grantee and may not be placed on the
   equipment without authorization by the grantee. See  Sec. 2.803 for conditions
   applicable to the display at trade shows of equipment which has not been
   granted equipment authorization where such grant is required prior to
   marketing. Labelling of such equipment may include model or type numbers,
   but shall not include a purported FCC Identifier.
