    (b) Any manufacturer of a transmitter to be used in this service may 
apply for certification for such transmitter following the certification 
procedure set forth in part 2 of the Commission's rules and regulations. 
Attention is also directed to part 1 of the Commission's rules and

    (e) Remote pickup broadcast station equipment authorized to be used 
pursuant to an application accepted for filing prior to December 1,

assignees: Provided, however, If operation of such equipment causes 
harmful interference due to its failure to comply with the technical 
standards set forth in this subpart, the Commission may, at its 
discretion, require the licensee to take such corrective action as is 
necessary to eliminate the interference.
    (f) Each instrument of authority which permits operation of a remote 
pickup broadcast station or system using equipment which has not been 
certificated will specify the particular transmitting equipment which 
the licensee is authorized to use.
