Sorry the FCC has absolutly *NOTHING* to do with lasers, All forms of
laser and coherent radient emitting devices are controled by the
Food and Drug administration.  Lasers are specifically covered in
CFR-21 parts 1000.00 - 1040.30, stat 44 FR 52195 1979, and sec 358,
stat 82  1177-1179 (42 U.S.C. 263F)  Incidently these same areas
cover all federal regulations on *LIGHT* emitting produces, such
as the afformention automotive headlights..  Almost anyone who
commercially deals in a wide varity of lasers should be able to provide
you with copies of the relivent sections.
