(3) The
applicant need not, for purposes of this part, be a resident of the
state.
(4) The applicant shall
demonstrate that the applicant is in good standing with all licensing
authorities by whom licensing is required, given the nature and scope of the
applicant's work, and that the applicant has not had a business or occupational
license or certificate suspended or revoked in this or any other state, except
as provided in Subsection B of this section.
(5) Applicants shall demonstrate in the
application that they have met the experience requirements of Subsection B of
20.5.105.509 NMAC.
(6) Applicants
shall demonstrate certification by the manufacturer of the spill and overfill

(7) The applicant shall provide the
department with evidence in the application that, within the prior three
months, the applicant has passed:
(a) a New
Mexico laws and rules UST test for junior installer certification administered
by the department pursuant to 20.5.105.514 NMAC; and
(b) a national technical UST test
administered by a certification educator approved by the department and has
been certified by that educator.
(8) As an alternative to the tests required
in Paragraph (7) of this subsection, applicants may propose alternate tests and
approved certification to the department for consideration, including a tank
installer certification program sponsored by another state or organization, but
these courses shall not be approved for the requirements in Paragraph (7) of
this subsection unless approved by the department in writing. Applicants
seeking approval of alternate courses and alternate certification shall provide
the department with all information about the course and the proposed educator
to allow the department to determine whether to approve them, in the
department's sole discretion. In determining whether to approve an alternate
course and alternate certification, the department shall determine whether the
alternate course and alternate certification provide an equivalent
demonstration of knowledge of New Mexico petroleum storage tank regulations,
20.5 NMAC, and technical UST requirements.
(9) The applicant shall provide to the
department a notarized affidavit from the applicant stating that all
information submitted in the application is true and correct.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (4) of Subsection A of this section, the department may grant certification to an applicant who has had a business or occupational license or certificate suspended or revoked where the suspension or revocation, by reason of its date, nature or other considerations, is not directly relevant to the applicant's competence to install, replace, repair, or modify UST spill and overfill prevention equipment.
