GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Proposed rule. Comments must be filed on or before June 17, 2013, and reply comments must be filed on or before July 17, 2013. 47 CFR Parts 0, 2, 15 and 68 Summary This document proposes certain changes to the Commission's equipment authorization processes to ensure that they continue to operate efficiently and effectively. In particular, it addresses the role of TCBs in certifying RF equipment and post-market surveillance, as well as the Commission's role in assessing TCB performance. It also addresses the role of test laboratories in the RF equipment approval process, including accreditation of test labs and the Commission's recognition of laboratory accreditation bodies, and measurement procedures used to determine RF equipment compliance. The Commission believes that the changes proposed will enable new and innovative products to be brought to market as quickly as possible, thus promoting competition in the provision of RF equipment, while at the same time protecting against interference among radio services and devices using the RF spectrum.
