An empowered official is a U.S. person directly employed by the applicant or a subsidiary in a policy or management position, legally empowered in writing to sign licence applications, who understands the export statutes and the criminal, civil and administrative penalties, and who has independent authority to inquire into any proposed export, verify its legality and the accuracy of information, and refuse to sign without adverse consequence (120.67). Every licence application, agreement request and other authorisation request must include a letter signed by an empowered official stating whether the applicant, its senior officers or directors, or any party to the export has been indicted, charged or convicted under the statutes in 120.6 or is ineligible, and confirming the signatory's own status, and must list all U.S. consignors, freight forwarders and foreign consignees (126.13).
