                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
                         COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
PART 101--FIXED MICROWAVE SERVICES--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart C--Technical Standards
 
Sec. 101.139  Authorization of transmitters.

    (a) Except for transmitters used at developmental stations or for 
fixed point-to-point operation pursuant to subparts H and I of this 
part, each transmitter must be a type which has been certificated by the 
Commission for use under the applicable rules of this part. Transmitters 
used in the private operational fixed and common carrier fixed point-to-
point microwave services under subparts H and I of this part must be of 
a type that has been verified for compliance. Transmitters designed for 
use in the 31.0-31.3 GHz band and transmitters designed for MVDDS use in 
the 12,200-12,700 MHz band will be authorized under the verification 
procedure.
    (b) Any manufacturer of a transmitter to be produced for use under 
the rules of this part may request certification or obtain verification 
by following the applicable procedures set forth in part 2 of this 
chapter.
    (c) Certification for an individual transmitter may also be 
requested by an applicant for a station authorization, pursuant to the 
procedures set forth in part 2 of this chapter.
    (d) A transmitter presently shown on an instrument of authorization, 
which operates on an assigned frequency in the 890-940 MHz band and has 
not been certificated, may continue to be used by the licensee without 
certification provided such transmitter continues otherwise to comply 
with the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
    (e) Certification or verification is not required for portable 
transmitters operating with peak output power not greater than 250 mW. 
If operation of such equipment causes harmful interference the FCC may, 
at its discretion, require the licensee to take such corrective action 
as is necessary to eliminate the interference.
    (f) After July 15, 1996, the manufacturer (except for export) or 
importation of equipment employing digital modulation techniques in the 
3700-4200, 5925-6425, 6525-6875, 10,550-10,680 and 10,700-11,700 MHz 
bands must meet the minimum payload capacity requirements of 
Sec. 101.141.
    (g) After January 1, 2001, a transmitter operating on the 24,250-
24,450 MHz and 25,050-25,250 MHz bands must meet the emission limitation 
set forth in Sec. 101.111(a)(2)(ii).
