Sec. 5.57 Who may sign applications.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, applications,
amendments thereto, and related statements of fact required by the
Commission shall be personally signed by the applicant, if the applicant is
an individual; by one of the partners, if the applicant is a partnership; by
an officer or duly authorized employee, if the applicant is a corporation;
or by a member who is an officer, if the applicant is an unincorporated
association. Applications, amendments, and related statements of fact filed
on behalf of eligible government entities, such as states and territories of
the United States and political subdivisions thereof, the District of
Columbia, and units of local government, including incorporated
municipalities, shall be signed by such duly elected or appointed officials
as may be competent to do so under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.
(b) Applications, amendments thereto, and related statements of fact
required by the Commission may be signed by the applicant's attorney in case
of the applicant's physical disability or of his/her absence from the United
States. The attorney shall in that event separately set forth the reason why
the application is not signed by the applicant. In addition, if any matter
is stated on the basis of the attorney's belief only (rather than his/her
knowledge), he/she shall separately set forth reasons for believing that
such statements are true.
(c) Only the original of applications, amendments, or related statements of
fact need be signed; copies may be conformed.
(d) Applications, amendments, and related statements of fact need not be
submitted under oath. Willful false statements made therein, however, are
punishable by fine and imprisonment, U.S. Code, title 18, Sec. 1001, and by
appropriate administrative sanctions, including revocation of station
license pursuant to sec. 312(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
(e) “Signed,” as used in this section, means an original handwritten
signature; however, the Office of Engineering and Technology may allow
signature by any symbol executed or adopted by the applicant with the intent
that such symbol be a signature, including symbols formed by
computer-generated electronic impulses.
