FCC Continues to Crack Down on Unapproved Devices
In a series of recent forfeiture orders against manufacturers and
retailers, the Federal Communications Commission is continuing its
strict enforcement efforts against unlicensed transmitters.
In the most recent instances, the Commission has issued
Forfeiture Orders against two retailers for offering for sale
non-certified transmitters. A Forfeiture Order in the amount of
$21,000 was issued against Wesley Noe, d.b.a. GI Joe's Radio
Electronics and GI Joe's CB Radio for offering for sale non-certified
CB transceivers and RF power amplifiers through the company's web
site and retail outlets. A second Forfeiture Order in the amount of
$7000 was issued against Gambler's CB & Ham Radio Sales & Service for
displaying and offering for sale non-certified CB transceivers, which
were being marketed as Amateur Radio Service transmitters.
In November 2006, the Commission levied a monetary forfeiture in
the amount of $25,000 against AboCom Systems for marketing wireless
access systems that did not comply with the terms of its equipment
authorization. AboCom compounded the problem by failing to respond to
a Notice of Apparent Liability issued by the Commission's Spectrum
Enforcement Division.

DOE Considers Energy Standards for Battery Chargers, External Power
Supplies
The U.S. Department of Energy has begun efforts to meet a 2008
deadline for determining the need for energy standards for battery
chargers and external power supplies.
Under the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005, the DOE must
determine by no later than August 2008 whether a need exists to
develop conservation standards for battery chargers and external
power supplies. Toward that end, the Department has begun its efforts
to assess potential energy savings from making the technical
improvements in these products that would be required to conserve
energy.
