[No. 46

(e.) Information as to whether the license is required on his own behalf or on behalf of an association or corporation:
(f.) The type of circuit proposed:
(g.) The type and dimensions of antenna proposed.
(ii.) A declaration of secrecy as provided in Regulation 20 hereof.
(iii.) Sufficient evidence of British nationality such as the case may require.

(2.) In addition thereto, every applicant shall furnish such information as may be required by the Minister, either at the time of application or subsequently thereto.

26. The application will be forwarded by the Radio Inspector to the Resident Commissioner, and, if approved, the applicant will be notified that he may proceed to erect the station. Upon completion of the erection, notification to that effect shall be forwarded to the Radio Inspector. Where deemed necessary, the Radio Inspector shall inspect the station to determine whether it fulfils the requirements of the regulations. If, in his opinion, the station complies with the regulations and is satisfactory in all respects, the Resident Commissioner may issue the license accordingly. The licensee may not, until then, operate the station, or permit the station to be operated.

27. In cases in which inspection is deemed to be necessary and it is impracticable for the Radio Inspector to have the completed station inspected within a reasonable time, and he has reason to believe that the regulations have been complied with, he may issue a temporary permit for the operation of the station in accordance with these regulations until such station is duly inspected and approved: Provided that the issue of such temporary permit shall not of itself impose upon the Minister an obligation to issue a license.

28. Provided a licensee has complied with all the provisions of these regulations and has conducted his station in all respects to the satisfaction of the Radio Inspector, the Resident Commissioner may, at his discretion, and upon payment of the fee prescribed by regulation 22 hereof, renew a license for a further term.

29. (1.) In cases in which temporary authority is sought for demonstrations of radio-telegraphy in connection with lectures, scientific proceedings, or the like, the Minister may, at his discretion, grant the necessary permission. Every care shall be taken by the permittee to safeguard the secrecy of public correspondence, and only in special cases shall permission be given to operate transmitting-apparatus connected to an antenna or earth.

(2.) Applications for temporary permits under this regulation shall be made to the Radio Inspector in writing.

30. In cases in which approved research work is being undertaken, and which would be facilitated by no other means than by an extension of the power conferred by a license issued in pursuance of these regulations, and upon application in writing being made in that behalf, the Minister may, at his discretion, grant in writing such temporary privileges as in his opinion may be necessary to cover the object in view.

31. If and so long as no regulations are in force in the Cook Islands providing generally for the issue of licenses for radio-telegraphy otherwise than for receiving, the Minister may, if he thinks fit so to do, grant written permission to any person, association, or corporation to establish, install, work, or use apparatus intended for any branch of radio-telegraphy other than or including receiving-apparatus, upon such terms and subject to such provisions and conditions (not inconsistent with the Post and Telegraph Act, 1908, and its amendments and these regulations) as the Minister may in his discretion think proper to impose.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS.

32. The use of any particular range of wave-lengths may, at the discretion of the Radio Inspector, and by notification in writing, be prohibited at any time and for such period as the Radio Inspector thinks fit.

33. A license for a receiving station shall not be issued unless the type and dimensions of the antenna proposed to be used are approved by the Radio Inspector.
