§ 2.929   Changes in name, address, ownership or control of grantee.

   (a) An equipment authorization may not be assigned, exchanged or in any
   other way transferred to a second party, except as provided in this section.

   (b) The grantee of an equipment authorization may license or otherwise
   authorize a second party to manufacture the equipment covered by the grant
   of the equipment authorization provided:

   (1) The equipment manufactured by such second party bears the FCC Identifier
   as is set out in the grant of the equipment authorization.

   Note to paragraph (b)(1): Any change in the FCC Identifier desired as a
   result of such production or marketing agreement will require the filing of
   a new application for an equipment authorization as specified in § 2.933.

   (2)  The  grantee  of the equipment authorization shall continue to be
   responsible to the Commission for the equipment produced pursuant to such an
   agreement.

   (c) Whenever there is a change in the name and/or address of the grantee of
   certification, notice of such change(s) shall be submitted to the Commission
   via  the Internet at https://apps.fcc.gov/eas within 30 days after the
   grantee starts using the new name and/or address.

   (d) In the case of transactions affecting the grantee, such as a transfer of
   control or sale to another company, mergers, or transfer of manufacturing
   rights,  notice  must  be  given to the Commission via the Internet at
   https://apps.fcc.gov/eas  within 60 days after the consummation of the
   transaction. Depending on the circumstances in each case, the Commission may
   require new applications for certification. In reaching a decision the
   Commission will consider whether the acquiring party can adequately ensure
   and accept responsibility for continued compliance with the regulations. In
   general, new applications for each device will not be required. A single
   application  for  certification may be filed covering all the affected
   equipment.
