Sec. 0.409  Commission policy on private printing of FCC forms.

    The Commission has established a policy regarding the printing of 
blank FCC forms by private companies if they elect to do so as a matter 
of expediency and convenience to their clients or consumers. The policy 
is as follows:
    (a) Blank FCC forms may be reproduced by private companies at their 
own expense provided the following conditions are met:
    (1) Use a printing process resulting in a product that is at least 
comparable in quality to the original document, without change to the 
page size, image size, configuration of pages, folds or perforations, 
and matching as closely as possible the paper weight, paper color and 
ink color.
    (2) Delete in its entirety any and all U.S. Government Printing 
Office (GPO) indicia that may appear in the margin(s).
    (3) If the printer wishes to identify a foreign country in which the 
forms are printed, a marginal notation must be added stating ``No U.S. 
Government funds were used to print this document.''
    (4) Do not add to the form any other symbol, word or phrase that 
might be construed as personalizing the form or advertising on it.
    (5) Except as specified above, do not delete from or add to any part 
of the form, or attach anything thereto.
    (6) Assure that the form being reproduced is an edition currently 
acceptable by the Commission, which will endeavor to keep the public 
advised of revisions to its forms, but cannot assume responsibility to 
the extent of eliminating any element of risk against the use of 
obsolete forms.
    (b) These guidelines do not apply to forms which respondents may 
wish to reproduce as completed facsimiles on automated equipment to 
satisfy application or report requirements. Requests for permission to 
submit such forms to the Commission should be addressed to the Office of 
Managing Director.
