It is FCC approved insofar as the technical standards. Legality of use belongs with the end user - and the FCC has clearly stated that the cell phone repeaters must be coordinated with the carriers whose signals are being repeated, otherwise their use is illegal.
An example of the FCC approval, I believe it was midland that was recently taken to fine because of scrambling on some GMRS/FRS radios. Illegal, and midland never argued that point. Those radios met the fcc approval for two way radios. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
