    Equipment may be authorized, manufactured and imported under the 
rules in effect prior to June 23, 1989, in accordance with the following 
schedules:
    (a) For all intentional and unintentional radiators, except for

or for which an application for a grant of equipment authorization is 
submitted to the Commission on or after June 23, 1992, shall comply with

    (b) For receivers: Receivers subject to the regulations in this part 
that are manufactured or imported on or after June 23, 1999, shall 
comply with the regulations specified in this part. However, if a 
receiver is associated with a transmitter that could not have been 
authorized under the regulations in effect prior to June 23, 1989, e.g., 
a transmitter operating under the provisions of Sec. 15.209 or 
Sec. 15.249 (below 960 MHz), the transition provisions in this section 
do not apply. Such receivers must comply with the regulations in this 
part. In addition, receivers are subject to the provisions in paragraph 
(f) of this section.
    (c) There are no restrictions on the operation or marketing of 
equipment complying with the regulations in effect prior to June 23, 
1989.
    (d) Prior to May 25, 1991, person shall import, market or operate 
intentional radiators within the band 902-905 MHz under the provisions 
of Sec. 15.249. Until that date, the Commission will not issue a grant 
of equipment authorization for equipment operating under Sec. 15.249 if 
the equipment is designed to permit operation within the band 902-905 
MHz.
    (e) For cordless telephones: The manufacture and importation of 
cordless telephones not complying with Sec. 15.214(d) of this part shall 
cease on or before September 11, 1991. These provisions will not apply 
to cordless telephones which are repaired or refurbished, or re-imported 
after repair or refurbishment. Applications for a grant of equipment 
authorization of cordless telephones not complying with Sec. 15.214(d) 
of this part will not be accepted by the Commission after May 10, 1991. 
Cordless telephones that have previously received equipment 
authorization and that, without modification, already comply with the 
requirements of Sec. 15.214(d) of this part, need not be reauthorized.
    (f) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and 
frequency converters designed or marketed for use with scanning 
receivers, that do not comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121 shall 
cease on or before April 26, 1994. Effective April 26, 1993, the 
Commission will not grant equipment authorization for receivers that do 
not comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121 of this part. This 
paragraph does not prohibit the sale or use of authorized receivers 
manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United States, 
prior to April 26, 1994.
    (g) For CPU boards and power supplies designed to be used with 
personal computers: The manufacture and importation of these products 
shall cease on or before June 19, 1997 unless these products have been 
authorized under a Declaration of Conformity or a grant of 
certification, demonstrating compliance with all of the provisions in 
this part. Limited provisions, as detailed in Sec. 15.101(d), are 
provided to permit the importation and manufacture of these products 
subsequent to this date where the CPU boards and/or power supplies are 
marketed only to personal computer equipment manufacturers.
