USA - FCC Adopts Rules to Strengthen Rules Governing Dangerous Gear

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted new rules to strengthen national security protections by closing a loophole that previously allowed devices containing certain components from Covered List entities to receive FCC authorizations, even when the finished products themselves would be prohibited.

​The new rules also increase oversight of e-commerce platforms by requiring them to display FCC IDs for certified devices and comply with FCC equipment authorization requirements, building on the FCC’s Operation Clean Carts initiative that has removed millions of unauthorized devices from online marketplaces.
