(e) The signature of a trustee of the foreign business trust, or some other person specifically authorized by the foreign business trust to sign the list, certifying that the list is true, complete and accurate.

2. Each list required to be filed pursuant to this section must be accompanied by a declaration under penalty of perjury that:

(a) The foreign business trust has complied with the provisions of chapter 76 of NRS;

(b) The foreign business trust acknowledges that pursuant to NRS 239.330, it is a category C felony to knowingly offer any false or forged instrument for filing in the Office of the Secretary of State; and
