Is the Axe FX effected by the new FCC rules?

The FCC has changed the rules regarding frequency emissions for pedals/equipment. Here's an article:
FCC Regulations for Pedals! | Effects Bay

Edit: After some research, I realized this is not a NEW rule, but a pretty old change. It's just been popping up in my guitar circles because EHX has been fined. Carry on.
