   comply with the requirements of § 15.237(c). These rules do not
   prohibit the sale or use of authorized auditory assistance devices that
   operate in the 72.0-73.0 MHz, 74.6-74.8 MHz, and 75.2-76.0 MHz bands
   manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United States,
   prior to July 11, 2016.

   (h) Effective June 2, 2015 devices using digital modulation techniques
   in the 5725-5850 MHz bands will no longer be certified under the
   provisions of § 15.247. The technical requirements for obtaining
   certification after this date for digitally modulated devices and the
   digitally modulated portion of hybrid devices are found in subpart E of
   this part. The provisions for the frequency hopping spread spectrum
   portion of hybrid devices will remain in § 15.247. Effective June 2,
