Sec. 22.377  Type-acceptance of transmitters.

    Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, transmitters 
used in the Public Mobile Services, including those used with signal 
boosters, in-building radiation systems and cellular repeaters, must be 
type-accepted for use in the radio services regulated under this part. 
Transmitters must be type accepted when the station is ready for 
service, not necessarily at the time of filing an application.
    (a) The FCC may list as type-accepted only transmitters that are 
capable of meeting all technical requirements of the rules governing the 
service in which they will operate. The procedure for obtaining type-
acceptance is set forth in part 2 of this chapter.
    (b) Transmitters operating under a developmental authorization (see 
subpart D of this part) do not have to be type-accepted.
    (c) Type-accepted transmitters are listed in the FCC's ``Radio 
Equipment List,'' which is available for public inspection at the FCC in 
Washington, DC, and its field offices.
    (d) In addition to the technical standards contained in this part, 
transmitters intended for operation in the Cellular Radiotelephone 
Service must be designed to comply with the technical requirements 
contained in the cellular system compatibility specification (see 
Sec. 22.933) and the electronic serial number rule (see Sec. 22.919).
