Jeff This section of FCC rules, which have the force of law, is for ISM - Industrial Scientific and Medical - devices that use RF energy for non-communications uses, such as generating heat (ex. microwave oven), light (ex RF excited flourescent lights) or generating plasma (ex: semiconductor wafer process chambers). For non-residential products no FCC submission is required but you must meet radiated and/or AC conducted limits in rules to show compliance with FCC Part 18.
