....however, for FCC Rules, Part 68 (telephony) requirements,
Registration is the only choice. Many persons confuse the two.

Registration is not a term that I have seen in any FCC publication
related to demonstrating device compliance. Section 15.101 publishes a
table listing types of devices(unintentional radiators), and
authorization required. Types of authorization are: verification,
certification, notification and declaration of conformity. For "other
class B digital devices and peripherals, verification is called out.
Testing must be performed at a listed FCC test site and kept on file by
the manufacturer. No application, fees or data submittal to the FCC is
required for this class of equipment.
