(b) The applicant for a permit shall submit the fees and the completed application, as specified in Section 705, to the address listed on the application.

(3) Coonstripe shrimp traps may be set and baited no earlier than noon on April 30.

(4) All traps must be removed from the water prior to November 1, weather and sea conditions permitting. In the event that a permittee is unable to comply with this subsection, then the permittee must notify an officer from the department's Enforcement Branch in the nearest department office via telephone or fax not later than noon on October 31. The permittee must state the reason for the delay and the anticipated date of removal.
