PART 2-FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS AND RADIO TREATY MATTERS; GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. The authority citation for part 2 continues to read as follows:
Authority:
47 U.S.C. 154, 302a, 303, and 336 unless otherwise noted.
2. Amend §?2.929 by revising paragraph (d) to read as follows:
§?2.929 Changes in name, address, ownership or control of grantee.
(d) In the case of transactions affecting the grantee, such as a transfer of control or sale to another company, mergers, or transfer of manufacturing rights, notice must be given to the Commission via the internet at https://apps.fcc.gov/eas within 60 days after the consummation of the transaction.
(1) The notice described in the introductory text to this paragraph (d) must include:
(i) A written and signed certification that, as of the date of the filing of the notice, the equipment to which the change applies is not prohibited from receiving an equipment authorization pursuant to §?2.903;
(ii) An affirmative or negative statement as to whether the applicant is identified on the Covered List, established pursuant to §?1.50002 of this chapter, as an entity producing covered communications equipment; and
(iii) The written and signed certifications required under §?2.911(d)(7).
(2) Depending on the circumstances in each case, the Commission may require new applications for certification. In reaching a decision, the Commission will consider whether the acquiring party can adequately ensure and accept responsibility for continued compliance with the regulations. In general, new applications for each device will not be required. A single application for certification may be filed covering all the affected equipment.
