Rules & Regulations: The FCC rules and regulations are codified in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The FCC does not maintain a database of its rules nor does it print or stock copies of the rules and regulations. That task is performed by the Government Printing Office (GPO) at this site http://wireless.fcc.gov/rules.html. Or use the links in the GPO Site column.
