Tony, When you apply to get type approval this is true, however the FCC responds on a complaint basis, so if you compete with someone they may come around if that person says you have no compliance with part 15 statement or a tested type approval certificate.
FCC also goes around trade shows where imported goods are shown and makes sure they have a small sign on the stating their status and that they cannot be offered for sale etc etc.
They would not care about any clock frequency as long as you told them what the fundamental was and what overtones you used. Most clocks are now made from integrated clocks inside a can and all that comes out is a pulse stream at the programmed clock rate. This often get divided down here and there on the mobo for various applications.
As for having a clock that ran at twice the rated speed, they would not care, since you would divide that by 2 for use.
Probably that is what intel does with their section that runs at double speed, start with a 2 x frequency or trigger on rise and fall of the main clock.

Other departments concerned with fraud would get involved if it was shown that you called a machine a 3 gig machine when it was really a 1.5 gig machine. The State attorney general, the FBI etc.

FCC would just satisfy itself that it radiated as they were told and as long as it was within the max allowed, they would bless it and go on their way.
