# §556.107. Corporate seal requirements.

- (a) If you electronically submit to BOEM any document or information referenced in [§ 560.500](/cfr/30/560.500.md) of this chapter, any requirement to use a corporate seal under this chapter will be satisfied, and you will not need to affix your corporate seal to such document or information, if:
  - (1) You properly file with BOEM a paper, with a corporate seal and the signature of the authorized person(s), stating that electronic submissions made by you will be legally binding, as set forth in [§ 560.502](/cfr/30/560.502.md) of this chapter; and
  - (2) You make electronic submissions to BOEM through a secure electronic filing system that conforms to the requirements of [§ 560.500](/cfr/30/560.500.md); or,
- (b) You may file with BOEM a non-electronic document, containing a corporate seal and the signature of an authorized person(s), attesting that future documents and information filed by you by electronic or non-electronic means will be legally binding without an affixed corporate seal. If you file such a non-electronic attestation document with BOEM, any requirement for use of a corporate seal under the regulations of this chapter will be satisfied, and you will not need to affix your corporate seal to submissions where they would have been otherwise required.
- (c) If the State or territory in which you are incorporated does not issue or require corporate seals, the document referred to in paragraphs [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) of this section need not contain a corporate seal, but must still contain the signature of the authorized person(s), a statement that the State in which you are incorporated does not issue or require corporate seals, and a statement that submissions made by you will be legally binding.
- (d) Any document, or information submitted without corporate seal must still contain the signature of an individual qualified to sign who has the requisite authority to act on your behalf.
- (e) Any document or information submitted pursuant to this section is submitted subject to the penalties of [18 U.S.C. 1001](/usc/18/1001.md), as amended by the False Statements Accountability Act of 1996.
