Yes and no.  Part 97 has had a love/hate relationship with Part 15. I
don't have the Part 97 citation to refer, but the FCC has long stood that
the radio amateur must exhaust all reasonable means to correct TVI created
by the Part 97 station.  HOWEVER, if the radio amateur can proove their
emissions are within the permitted limits, they have met the rules and the
responsability lay with the equipment owner suffering the interference. 
Typically a spectrum analyzer was/is used to make this point.
