(a)Renewal application.
(1)A registration expires on the date shown on the
face of the registration issued to the license holder.
(2)If a license holder intends to renew an unexpired
registration, the license holder must, on or before the expiration
date of the current registration:
(A)file a renewal application through the online process
on the Commission's website or on the applicable form approved by
the Commission;
(B)submit the appropriate fee required by §535.404
of this title (relating to Fees); and
(C)comply with the fingerprinting and education requirements
under the Act.
(b)Failure to provide information requested by the
Commission in connection with a renewal application is grounds for
disciplinary action under §1101.653 of the Act.
(c)A registrant who fails to timely renew must apply
for and receive a new registration in order to act as an easement
or right-of-way agent.
(d)The Commission will deliver a registration renewal
notice to a license holder three months before the expiration of the
license holder's current registration. Failure to receive the certificate
renewal notice does not relieve a certificate holder of the obligation
to renew a certificate.
(e)The Commission is not required to notify a business
entity such as a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership
that has failed to designate an officer, manager, or general partner
who meets the requirements of §1101.502 of the Act. The Commission
may not renew a registration issued to a business entity that has
not designated an officer, manager, or general partner who meets the
requirements of the Act.
(f)If the registration expires on a Saturday, Sunday
or any other day on which the Commission is not open for business,
a renewal application is considered to be timely filed when the application
is received or postmarked no later than the first business day after
the expiration date of the registration.
(g)Denial of Renewal. The Commission may deny an application
for renewal of a registration if the registrant is in violation of
the terms of a Commission order.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed
the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal
authority.
