certificated.

    (b) Each R/C transmitter (a transmitter that operates or is intended 

to operate at a station authorized in the R/C) must be certificated, 

except one that transmits only in the 26-27 MHz frequency band and is 

crystal controlled (where the transmitted frequency is established by a 

crystal (a quartz piezo-electric element)).

    (c) Each CB transmitter (a transmitter that operates or is intended 

to operate at a station authorized in the CB) must be certificated. No 

CB transmitter certificated pursuant to an application filed prior to 

September 10, 1976, shall be manufactured or marketed.

operates or is intended to operate in the LPRS) must be certificated.

    (f) Each Medical Implant Communications Service transmitter (a 

transmitter that operates or is intended to operate in the MICS) must be

requirements specified in Sec. Sec. 1.1307 and 2.1093 of this chapter, 

as appropriate. Applications for equipment authorization of devices 

operating under this section must contain a finite difference time 

domain (FDTD) computational modeling report showing compliance with 

these provisions for fundamental emissions. The Commission retains the 

discretion to request the submission of specific absorption rate 

measurement data.

    (g) Each Multi-Use Radio Service transmitter (a transmitter that 

operates or is intended to operate in the MURS) must be certificated in 

accordance with Subpart J of Part 2 of this chapter, Provided however, 

that those radio units certificated as of November 12, 2002 need not be 

recertificated.

    (h) Each Dedicated Short-Range Communications Service On-Board Unit 

(DSRCS-OBU) that operates or is intended to operate in the DSRCS (5.850-

5.925 GHz) must be certified in accordance with subpart L of this part 

and subpart J of part 2 of this chapter.
