ORDER
Adopted: September 4, 2018 Released: September 4, 2018
By the Deputy Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission has
entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its investigation into whether NanoLumens, Inc. (NanoLumens)
marketed light-emitting diode (LED) signs used in digital billboards and other commercial and industrial
applications, without the required labeling in violation of the Commission s rules. These rules ensure that
radio-frequency devices are properly labeled and tested for compliance under the Commission s technical
rules because those devices could easily cause interference if they do not conform to the Commission s
rules. To settle this matter, NanoLumens admits that it marketed LED signs without the required
labeling, will implement a compliance plan, and will pay a $27,500 civil penalty.
2. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we
find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the
referenced investigation regarding NanoLumens compliance with the labeling rules in effect at the time
of the violations, Section 302(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act)1, and Sections
2.803 and 15.19 of the Commission s rules.2
3. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we do not set for hearing
the question of NanoLumens basic qualifications to hold or obtain any Commission license or
authorization.3
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Act,4 and the
authority delegated by Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission s rules,5 the attached Consent Decree
IS ADOPTED and its terms incorporated by reference.
5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned matter IS TERMINATED.

Commission s Rules Regarding Authorization of Radiofrequency Equipment, Report and Order, 32 FCC Rcd 8746

II. BACKGROUND
3. Section 302 of the Act authorizes the Commission to promulgate reasonable regulations
to minimize harmful interference by equipment that emits radio frequency energy.7 Specifically,
Section 302(b) of the Act provides that [n]o person shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship
devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations
promulgated pursuant to this section. 8 The purpose of Section 302 of the Act is to ensure that radio
transmitters and other electronic devices meet certain standards to control interference before they reach
the market.
4. The Commission carries out its responsibilities under Section 302 of the Act in two ways.
First, the Commission establishes technical requirements for transmitters and other equipment to
minimize their potential for causing interference to authorized radio services. Second, the Commission
administers an equipment authorization program to ensure that equipment reaching the market in the
United States complies with the technical and administrative requirements set forth in the Rules. The
equipment authorization program requires, among other things, that radio frequency devices must be
tested for compliance with the applicable technical requirements prior to marketing.9 In that regard,
Section 2.803(b) of the Rules prohibits the marketing of radio frequency devices unless the device has

Bureau s Spectrum Enforcement Division issued a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to NanoLumens, directing it to
submit a sworn written response to a series of questions relating to its marketing of LED signs in the
United States.12 The investigation revealed that NanoLumens violated the Equipment Marketing Rules by
marketing LED signs without the required labeling.13 After receiving the LOI, NanoLumens began to
bring its LED signs into compliance with the Commission s Equipment Marketing Rules. The Company
achieved compliance with the relevant Equipment Marketing Rules in July 2017 for the LED signs at
issue.14

containing the particular unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations of the
Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

24. Successors and Assigns. NanoLumens agrees that the provisions of this Consent Decree
shall be binding on its successors, assigns, and transferees.
25. Final Settlement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Consent Decree shall
