              Part C--Electronic Product Radiation Control
 
Sec. 360ss. State standards

    Whenever any standard prescribed pursuant to section 360kk of this 
title with respect to an aspect of performance of an electronic product 
is in effect, no State or political subdivision of a State shall have 
any authority either to establish, or to continue in effect, any 
standard which is applicable to the same aspect of performance of such 
product and which is not identical to the Federal standard. Nothing in 
this part shall be construed to prevent the Federal Government or the 
government of any State or political subdivision thereof from 
establishing a requirement with respect to emission of radiation from 
electronic products procured for its own use if such requirement imposes 
a more restrictive standard than that required to comply with the 
otherwise applicable Federal standard.
