Thank god Congress hasn't acted on this. If they did, we would have another layer of beauracracy to go through; more fat, overpaid civil (read that, silly) servants casting about arbitrary and in most cases totally ridiculous requirements and not to mention a hefty cost increase in the end product to meet their silly (Government red tape) requirements. After all, when has the Government done any thing good for us that didn't cost us money?

The FCC has on several occasions expressed to me that they are not in the business of regulating the quality of any device (except maybe broadcast receivers and such). They are strictly only concerned with issues that relate to broadcasting and/or that affect the radio frequency spectrum. EMC, to the FCC, is a quality issue to be regulated by the product market. EMC, if necessary, will have to be regulated through another government division office instituted by congress. As of this date, congress has not taken up the subject.
