REPLY:

Quoting from Part 97:

97.103 Station licensee responsibilities.
(a) The station licensee is responsible for the proper operation of
the station in accordance with the FCC Rules. When the control
operator is a different amateur operator than the station licensee,
both persons are equally responsible for proper operation of the
station.
(b) The station licensee must designate the station control operator.
The FCC will presume that the station licensee is also the control
operator, unless documentation to the contrary is in the station
records.
(c) The station licensee must make the station and the station records
available for inspection upon request by an FCC representative.

If you do not comply with (c) your license can be revoked.
