           AVAILABILITY OF PRINTED INFORMATION PERTAINING TO GRANTS


TYPE ACCEPTED AND NOTIFIED TRANSMITTERS

The January 1983 volume of the Commission's "Radio Equipment List, Equipment
Acceptable for Licensing" (REL), and the annual supplements to the REL printed
periodically, contains a listing of all type accepted and notified
transmitters alphabetically by name of the grantee.  Public notices of type
accepted and notified actions are also issued on a monthly basis.
The REL,  supplements and copies of the public notices will provide a list
of all equipment acceptable for licensing as of a specific date.  Copies of
the REL and supplements may be purchased from the duplicating contractor, ITS,
or other distributors of Commission documents.  Parties outside the Washington
area, interested in reviewing the REL and supplements, may contact the nearest
Field Operation Bureau field office.  See "FCC Field Offices" under "Other

contractor or other distributors of documents.  Addresses and telephone
numbers of the duplicating contractor and other distributors of documents are
listed under "FCC Distribution Procedures".


CERTIFIED, TYPE APPROVED, NOTIFIED (receivers)

Due to the large volume of equipment subject to certification, type approval

               FCC LABORATORY HISTORY, FUNCTIONS, ORGANIZATION


HISTORY

The Laboratory is located on 212 acres of Commission-owned land on the
southeast edge of Columbia, Md. This land also houses the Laurel Monitoring
Station. It is located at the northwest corner of Interstate Route 95 and
Guilford Road.

The property was acquired in 1941, and the initial activity there was directed
to the radio intelligence activities to support the war effort. After the war,
more and more radio frequency equipment began appearing on the market, and
some of the personnel engaged in the monitoring activity were detailed to
examine the suitability of certain kinds of equipment for use and/or
licensing. This activity grew as the complexity and kind
