Radio emissions in the U.S. are refereed by the FCC. In Title 47, Chapter I, Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.247, rules pertaining to unlicensed operations in the 2.4GHz range are outlined.
The full text of Part 15 (and most other sections of US federal code) can be browsed online at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html.
