Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment to register the 
location of the equipment/devices its markets with the Commission. The 
information that the grantee must supply to the Commission when 
registering the device(s) shall include the name, address and other 
pertinent contact information of users, the geographic coordinates of 
the operating location, and the FCC identification number(s) of the 
equipment. The improved RFID equipment could benefit commercial 
shippers and have significant homeland security benefits by enabling 
the entire contents of shipping containers to be easily and immediately 
identified, and by allowing a determination of whether tampering with 
their contents has occurred during shipping.
