§ 1.917 Who may sign applications.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, applications,
amendments, and related statements of fact required by the Commission
must be signed as follows (either electronically or manually, see
paragraph (d) of this section): (1) By the applicant, if the applicant
is an individual; (2) by one of the partners if the applicant is a
partnership; (3) by an officer, director, or duly authorized employee,
if the applicant is a corporation; (4) by a member who is an officer,
if the applicant is an unincorporated association; or (5) by the
trustee if the applicant is an amateur radio service club.
Applications, amendments, and related statements of fact filed on
behalf of eligible government entities such as states and territories
of the United States, their political subdivisions, the District of
Columbia, and units of local government, including unincorporated
municipalities, must be signed by a duly elected or appointed official
who is authorized to do so under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction.
(b) Applications, amendments, 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 absence from the United States,
or by applicant's designated vessel master when a temporary permit is
requested for a vessel. The attorney shall, when applicable, 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 or master's belief only (rather than knowledge), the
attorney or master shall separately set forth the reasons for believing
that such statements are true. Only the original of applications,
amendments, and related statements of fact need be signed.
(c) Applications, amendments, and related statements of fact need not
be signed under oath. Willful false statements made therein, however,
are punishable by fine and imprisonment, 18 U.S.C. 1001, and by
appropriate administrative sanctions, including revocation of station
license pursuant to 312(a)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
(d) “Signed,” as used in this section, means, for manually filed
applications only, an original hand-written signature or, for
electronically filed applications only, an electronic signature. An
electronic signature shall consist of the name of the applicant
transmitted electronically via ULS and entered on the application as a
signature.
