Sec. 78.16 Who may sign applications.
(a) 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, 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
government entities 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 absence from the United
States. The attorney shall in that event separately set forth the reasons
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
knowledge), he shall separately set forth his 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, United States Code, title 18, section
1001, and by appropriate administrative sanctions, including revocation of
station license pursuant to section 312(a)(1) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
