National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the 
President's principal adviser on telecommunications and information policy 
and in recent years has specified the technical requirements for CAP and 
MARS transmitters.  To operate on CAP and MARS frequencies, the transmitter 
must meet these requirements.

I believe some of the newer amateur transmitters meet NTIA specs, but my 
understanding is that most do not.  I am sure others on the list can 
clarify this latter point.
