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

(2) if employed as an operator, the name, telephone number, and mailing address of the wastewater treatment plant where employed, and the name of the chief plant operator; and

(3) the renewal fee prescribed in article 10.

(d) Within 30 days of receipt of a renewal application, 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 applicant in writing of the specific requirements necessary to complete the application.

(e) If there is a deficiency, and the deficiency is not corrected before expiration of the certificate, the Office of Operator Certification shall not issue a renewal certificate. After the applicant pays the reinstatement fee prescribed in section 3717, the Office of Operator Certification shall issue a new certificate if the requirements of section 3702.4 are met.
