Comments Due Sept. 8 in FCC NPRM To End Device Importer Certification Requirement

The FCC NPRM proposing to end a requirement that importers of radio frequency devices file certifications with Customs and Border Protection that their imports meet FCC import requirements (see 1412310022) appeared in Thursday's Federal Register. Comments are due Sept. 8, replies Sept. 21 in docket 15-170. The proposal would junk a requirement that importers file information associated with FCC Form 740 with CBP for RF devices imported into the U.S. The item was approved last month, a step toward implementing the E-Label Act (see 1507210072) and described as a way to ease the way for more IoT devices.
