§ 3.76   Licensee's liability for payment.

   The U.S. ship station licensee bears ultimate responsibility for final
   payment of its accounts. This responsibility cannot be superseded by the
   contractual agreement between the ship station licensee and the accounting
   authority. In the event that an accounting authority does not remit proper
   and timely payments on behalf of the ship station licensee:

   (a) The ship station licensee will make arrangements for another accounting
   authority to perform future settlements, and

   (b) The ship station licensee will settle any outstanding accounts due to
   foreign entities.

   (c) The Commission will, upon request, take all possible steps, within the
   limits of applicable national law, to ensure settlement of the accounts of
   the  ship station licensee. As circumstances warrant, this may include
   issuing warnings to ship station licensees when it becomes apparent that an
   accounting authority is failing to settle accounts. See also § § 3.70 through
   3.74.
