Section 635-005-0430 - Renewal of Permit

(1) An individual who obtained a limited entry Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit may renew the permit pursuant to ORS 508.941 by submitting to the Department a $200.00 (plus a $2.00 license agent fee) for resident applicants and a $250.00 fee (plus a $2.00 license agent fee) for non-resident applicants and a complete application date-stamped or postmarked by December 31 of the year for which renewal is sought.

(2) An application for renewal of an Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit shall be considered complete if it is legible, has all information requested in the form, and is accompanied by the required fee in full. Any application which is not complete shall be returned, and unless it is thereafter resubmitted and deemed complete by December 31 of the permit year sought, the individual shall not be considered to have applied for renewal in a timely manner.

(3) It is the responsibility of the permittee to ensure an application is complete and is filed in a timely manner. Failure of the Department to return an application for incompleteness or of an individual to receive a returned application may not be grounds for treating the application as having been filed in a timely and complete manner.

(4) A permit which is not renewed by December 31 lapses, and shall not be renewed for subsequent years.
