Sec.  2.938   Retention of records.

   (a) For each equipment subject to the Commission's equipment authorization
   standards, the responsible party shall maintain the records listed as
   follows:

   (1) A record of the original design drawings and specifications and all
   changes that have been made that may affect compliance with the standards
   and the requirements of  Sec. 2.931.

   (2) A record of the procedures used for production inspection and testing to
   ensure conformance with the standards and the requirements of  Sec. 2.931.

   (3) A record of the test results that demonstrate compliance with the
   appropriate regulations in this chapter.

   (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this section shall also apply to a
   manufacturer of equipment produced under the provisions of  Sec. 2.929(b). The
   retention of the records by the manufacturer under these circumstances shall
   satisfy the grantee's responsibility under paragraph (a) of this section.

   (c) The records listed in paragraph (a) of this section shall be retained
   for one year for equipment subject to authorization under the certification
   procedure or former type acceptance procedure, or for two years for
   equipment subject to authorization under any other procedure, after the
   manufacture of said equipment has been permanently discontinued, or until
   the conclusion of an investigation or a proceeding if the responsible party
   (or, under paragraph (b) of this section, the manufacturer) is officially
   notified that an investigation or any other administrative proceeding
   involving its equipment has been instituted.

   (d) If radio frequency equipment is modified by any party other than the
   original responsible party, and that party is not working under the
   authorization of the original responsible party, the party performing the
   modifications is not required to obtain the original design drawings
   specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. However, the party performing
   the modifications must maintain records showing the changes made to the
   equipment along with the records required in paragraphs (a)(3) of this
   section. A new equipment authorization may also be required. See, for
   example,  Sec.  Sec. 2.909, 2.924, 2.933, and 2.1043.
