§ 3.60   Reports.

   (a) Initial Inventory of Vessels. Within 60 days after receiving final
   approval from the FCC to be an accounting authority, each certified
   accounting authority must provide to the FCC an initial list of vessels
   for which it is performing settlements. This list should contain only
   U.S. registered vessels. Such list shall be typewritten or computer
   generated, be annotated to indicate it is the initial inventory and be
   in the general format of the following and provide the information
   shown:
   Vessel Name Call Sign

   (b) Semi-Annual Additions/Modifications/Deletions to Vessel Inventory.
   Beginning with the period ending on the last day of March or September
   following submission of an accounting authority's Initial Inventory of
   Vessels (See paragraph (a) of this section.) and each semi-annual
   period thereafter, each accounting authority is required to submit to
   the FCC a report on additions, modifications or deletions to its list
   of vessels for which it is performing or intending to perform
   settlements, whether or not settlements actually have taken place. The
   list should contain only U.S. registered vessels. The report shall be
   typewritten or computer generated and be in the following general
   format:

   Additions to Current Vessel Inventory
   Vessel Name Call Sign Effective Date

   Modifications to Current Vessel Inventory
   Previous Vessel Name Previous Call Sign New Vessel Name New Call Sign
   Effective Date

   Deletions to Current Vessel Inventory
   Vessel Name Call Sign Effective Date

   The preceding report must be received by the Commission no later than
   15 days following the end of the period (March or September) for which
   the report pertains. Modifications refer to changes to call sign or
   ship name of vessels for which the accounting authority settles
   accounts and for which fbasic information has previously been provided
   to the Commission. Reports are to be submitted even if there have been
   no additions, modifications or deletions to vessel inventories since
   the previous report. If there are no changes to an inventory, this
   should be indicated on the report.

   (c) End of Year Inventory. By February 1st of each year, each
   accounting authority must submit an end-of-year inventory report
   listing vessels for which the accounting authority performed
   settlements as of the previous December 31st. The list should contain
   only U.S. registered vessels. The report must be typewritten or
   computer generated and prepared in the same general format as that
   shown in paragraph (a) of this section except it should be annotated to
   indicate it is the End of Year inventory.

   (d) Annual Statistical Report of Settlement Operations. By February 1st
   of each year, each accounting authority settling accounts for U.S.
   registered vessels must submit to the FCC an Annual Statistical Report,
   FCC Form 45, which details the number and dollar amount of settlements,
   by foreign administration, during the preceding twelve months.
   Information contained in this report provides statistical data that
   will enable the Commission to monitor operations to ensure adherence to
   these rules and to appropriate international settlement procedures. FCC
   Form 45 can be obtained by writing to the address in 3.61 of these
   rules.
