(d) If, after 10 days from the date of mailing of the first notice to the supplier requesting payment of the prescribed arbitration fee, the administrator fails to receive such prescribed fee, the administrator shall promptly advise the supplier in writing that unless such fee is received within 20 days from the date of the first notice, the Attorney General's office will be notified of the supplier's non-compliance. In the event that the administrator fails to receive the prescribed arbitration fee from the supplier within 20 days of the first notice, it shall promptly notify the Attorney General's office in writing of such non-compliance.
