§97.525. Accrediting VEs.
47 C.F.R. § 97.525
No VEC may accredit a person as a VE if:
The person does not meet minimum VE statutory qualifications or minimum qualifications as prescribed by this part;
The FCC does not accept the voluntary and uncompensated services of the person;
The VEC determines that the person is not competent to perform the VE functions; or
The VEC determines that questions of the person's integrity or honesty could compromise the examinations.
Each VEC must seek a broad representation of amateur operators to be VEs. No VEC may discriminate in accrediting VEs on the basis of race, sex, religion or national origin; nor on the basis of membership (or lack thereof) in an amateur service organization; nor on the basis of the person accepting or declining to accept reimbursement.
