Subpart 1. Registration required.

A drilling machine or hoist may not be used for exploratory boring, or for any drilling activity requiring a license, unless the drilling machine or hoist is registered with the commissioner. The licensee is responsible for ensuring that each drilling machine or hoist is registered before it is used to conduct exploratory boring. The explorer or drilling contractor must register each drilling machine or hoist used to conduct exploratory boring. The person registering a drilling machine or hoist must pay an annual registration fee for each machine or hoist according to Minnesota Statutes, section 103I.545. Drilling machine and hoist registrations expire on December 31 of each year. Upon receipt of the required fee and information, the commissioner shall issue a drilling machine or hoist registration card for identification purposes for each drilling machine and hoist registered. The card shall be carried on the drilling machine or hoist at all times and must be readily available for review by the commissioner.

Subp. 2. Registration not transferable.

The registration card and decals furnished for a drilling machine or hoist are not transferable. The card and decals shall be returned to the commissioner when a drilling machine or hoist is sold, traded, or otherwise disposed of.
