(a) The instruction given;

3. The Department will, at least once every 2 years, conduct an inspection of each vehicle listed pursuant to section 28 of this regulation. The vehicles must be accessible to the Department, operational and located at the principal place of business of, or one central location used by, the third-party company or third-party school.
4. Within 30 days after an inspection, the Department will provide a written report to the third-party company or third-party school which:
(a) Indicates compliance; or
(b) Describes each deficiency and notifies the third-party company or third-party school that each such deficiency must be corrected within 30 days after the date on which the notice is received. If each deficiency is not corrected in a timely manner, the Department may, pursuant to NAC 483.1236 or subsection 8 of section 30 of this regulation, suspend or revoke the registration issued to the third-party company or third-party school or take appropriate action against the third-party school pursuant to NAC 483.708 to 483.795, inclusive, or both.
5. If, pursuant to NAC 483.708 to 483.795, inclusive:

(1) Suspended, or if the Department refuses to renew the license issued to the school for training drivers, the Department will, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, suspend the registration of the third-party school and each third-party certifier employed by the school until the license of the school has been restored. If the license issued to the operator of the school is not restored, the Department will revoke the registration of the thirdparty school and each third-party certifier. This paragraph does not prevent the Department from taking separate disciplinary action against a third-party certifier if the circumstances that resulted in the suspension of, or the refusal to renew, the license of the school for training drivers involved an act or omission by the third-party certifier.
(2) Revoked, the Department will revoke the registration of the third-party school and each third-party certifier employed by the school.
