Commission's Rules, ET Docket No. 01-278, RM-9375, RM-10051, FCC 04-98,
see 69 FR 29459 (May 24, 2004). The Third Report and Order requires
each grantee of certification for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Equipment to register the location of the equipment/devices it markets
with the Commission. The information the grantee must supply to the
Commission when registering the devices shall include the name, address
and other pertinent contact information of users, the geographic
coordinates of the operating location, and the FCC identification
number(s) of the equipment. The improved RFID equipment can benefit
commercial shippers and have significant homeland security benefits by
enabling the entire contents of shipping containers to be easily and
immediately identified and by allowing a determination of whether
tampering with their contents has occurred during shipping.
