Sec.  803.5  Use of the Seal.

    (a) The Seal is the official emblem of the Board and its use is 
therefore permitted only as provided in this part.
    (b) Use by any person or organization outside of the Board may be 
made only with the Board's prior written approval.
    (c) Requests by any person or organization outside of the Board for 
permission to use the Seal must be made in writing to Director, Bureau 
of Administration, National Transportation Safety Board, 800

in detail the exact use to be made. Any permission granted shall apply 
only to the specific use for which it was granted.
    (d) Use of the Seal shall be essentially for informational purposes. 
The Seal may not be used on any article or in any manner which may 
discredit the Seal or reflect unfavorably upon the Board, or which 
implies Board endorsement of commercial products or services, or of the 
user's or users' policies or activities. Specifically, permission may 
not be granted under this section for nonofficial use--
    (1) On souvenir or novelty items of an expendable nature;
    (2) On toys, gifts, or premiums;
    (3) As a letterhead design;
    (4) On menus, matchbook covers, calendars, or similar items;
    (5) To adorn civilian clothing; or
    (6) On athletic clothing or equipment.
    (e) Where necessary to avoid any prohibited implication or confusion 
as to the Board's association with the user or users, an appropriate 
legend will be prescribed by the Board for prominent display in 
connection with the permitted use.
    (f) Falsely making, forging, counterfeiting, mutilating, or altering 
the Seal, or knowingly using or possessing with fraudulent intent any 
altered Seal is punishable under section 506 of Title 18, U.S.C.
