Section 3719.4 - Renewal of Contract Operator Registration

(a) At least 60 days before the expiration of a contract operator registration, the Office of Operator Certification shall send a written notification of the expiration date to the contract operator. Failure to receive a notice of the expiration date does not relieve the contract operator from the responsibility of renewing a registration on or before the expiration date.

(b) An application for renewal of a contract operator registration shall include:

(c) A contract operator who wishes to renew a contract operator registration shall submit to the Office of Operator Certification a completed application as specified in subdivision (b). The application for renewal shall be received no later than 30 days before the expiration of the registration. If the application for renewal is received less than 30 days before the expiration date, the contract operator shall pay a late fee as prescribed in section 3719.16.

(d) Within 30 days of receipt of the application for renewal, the Office of Operator Certification shall notify the applicant in writing whether the application is complete or deficient. If there is a deficiency, the Office of Operator Certification shall inform the contract operator in writing of the specific requirements necessary to complete the application for renewal. If the applicant does not correct the deficiency within 60 days from the date of the notice of deficiency, the application shall be denied.
