K. Balasubramanian,
Most unintentional radiators no longer require you to have an FCC ID,
while intential radiators almost always will. The latest version of 47
CFR Part 15 (that I know of) can be downloaded from
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/part15/part15_12_8_03.pdf
Section 15.101 specifies the type of equipment authorization required by
the FCC for various types of unintentional radiators:
* Verification.
* Declaration of Conformity.
* Certification.
Certification is the only route that requires an FCC ID. The
manufacturer must apply to the FCC for a 3-digit Grantee Code, which
begins the FCC ID of all of their products. The manufacturer assigns up
to an additional 14 characters for the rest of the FCC ID (FCC Form 731
boxes 3(a) and 3(b)) for each product they produce. Form 731, along
with the rest of the paperwork and the fee, then must be submitted to an
appropriate Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) for the actual
FCC equipment authorization.
