              Subpart J_Equipment Authorization Procedures

 

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.
