prescribed by and under the general supervision of the Administrator, 

whenever the representative determines that information complies with 

the applicable regulations of this chapter.

    (d) A radio engineering representative may approve engineering 

information relating to the design and operating characteristics of 

radio equipment, within limits prescribed by and under the general 

supervision of the Administrator whenever the representative determines 

that information complies with the applicable regulations of this 

chapter.

    (e) An engine engineering representative may approve engineering 

information relating to engine design, operation and service, within
