A001 authorizes the conduct of operations under other business names known as “doing business as” (DBA). If no operations are authorized to be conducted under another DBA, the statement selected will state that “the Virtual Operator is authorized to use only the business name which appears on the certificate to conduct the operations described in subparagraph A.”
A001 identifies exempted operations that may be conducted under less restrictive regulations while still utilizing the authorizations in these operations specifications. A Letter of Authorization need not be obtained so long as these exempted operations are not conducted for the purposes of achieving POSCON Points or rank.
