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.
