By typing my name in the indicated fields, I hereby certify that all of the information submitted in, and in support of, this application is true, accurate and complete. I am also agreeing to conduct business electronically with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in accordance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) (P.L. 105-277, 44 U.S.C. 3504 note). I understand that transactions and/or signatures in records may not be denied legal effect solely because they are conducted, executed, or prepared in electronic form, and that if a law requires a record or signature to be in writing, an electronic record or signature satisfies that requirement. I further understand that false statements made knowingly and willfully on this application, including any documents submitted with or in support of this application, are punishable by fine and/or imprisonment under the provisions of 16 U.S.C. §1857 and 18 U.S.C. §1001. |
The signer must make a willful act to demonstrate that they have read and agreed with the statement above. They must place a check mark in a check box that is labeled "I have read and understand the statement above." In addition to placing a check mark in the check box, the applicant must also type their name and their password to complete the electronic signing ceremony. Attempting to proceed to the next step of the electronic transaction without completing the above steps will cause the system to display a message instructing the applicant that they must read the terms and conditions statement, enter their name, and their password before their information will be accepted.
Technically the transaction data is bound to entity identity data by a shared identifier (permit number) in the registration data (electronic logbook agreement), the permit database, and in e-logbook submissions. Further binding could be established by asking the e-logbook vendor to correlate customer identities to the unique keys which are embedded in each installation of certified e-logbook software. (See document binding and integrity for a broader discussion of these issues and alternatives.)
