It's my interpretation of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 97. You can see the authorized emissions table at 97.305 and the definition of SS (spread spectrum) at 97.3(c)(8). You can acces a copy via the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov. FCC rules are much more restrictive than those of any other country that I have seen. A few years ago, the ARRL proposed changes (which I supported) that would have changed the regulations to limit bandwidth rather than emission type but their members rejected the idea and they withdrew the petition.
