21 USC § 360ss (2011)
§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.

(June 25, 1938, ch. 675, §542, formerly act July 1, 1944, ch. 373, title III, §542, formerly §360F, as added Pub. L. 90–602, §2(3), Oct. 18, 1968, 82 Stat. 1186; renumbered §542 and amended Pub.
