                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
              CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
 
PART 15--RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
                           Subpart A--General
 
Sec.  15.7  Special temporary authority.

    (a) The Commission will, in exceptional situations, consider an 
individual application for a special temporary authorization to operate 
an incidental, intentional or unintentional radiation device not 
conforming to the provisions of this part, where it can be shown that 
the proposed operation would be in the public interest, that it is for a 
unique type of station or for a type of operation which is incapable of 
being established as a regular service, and that the proposed operation 
can not feasibly be conducted under this part.
    (b) No authorization is required in order to perform testing of 
equipment for determining compliance with these regulations. Except as 
provided in subpart I of part 2 of this chapter, this provision does not 
permit the providing of equipment to potential users in order to 
determine customer acceptance of the product or marketing strategy, nor 
does this provision permit any type of operation other than a 
determination of compliance with the regulations. During this testing, 
the provisions of Sec. Sec.  15.5 and 15.205 apply.
