§ 97.31   Cancellation on account of the licensee's death.

   (a) A person may request cancellation of an operator/primary station license
   grant on account of the licensee's death by submitting a signed request that
   includes a death certificate, obituary, or Social Security Death Index data
   that shows the person named in the operator/primary station license grant
   has died. Such a request may be submitted as a pleading associated with the
   deceased licensee's license. See § 1.45 of this chapter. In addition, the
   Commission  may cancel an operator/primary station license grant if it
   becomes aware of the grantee's death through other means. No action will be
   taken during the last thirty days of the post-expiration grace period (see
   § 97.21(b)) on a request to cancel a license due to the licensee's death.

   (b) A license that is canceled due to the licensee's death is canceled as of
   the date of the licensee's death.
