§ 1.743 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 must be 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, their political subdivisions, the District of Columbia,
and units of local government, including incorporated 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 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 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
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
signed under oath. Willful false statements made therein, however, are
punishable by fine and imprisonment, U.S. 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.
(e) “Signed,” as used in this section, means an original hand-written
signature, except that by public notice in the Federal Register the Wireline
Competition Bureau 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.
