SECTION .0700 - RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATION

 

15A NCAC 08G .0701       REQUIREMENTS

(a)  In order to maintain a

valid certificate, the certificate must be renewed annually by:

(1)           Submitting payment of the appropriate

required annual renewal fee, as set forth in G.S. 90A-42, by the end of the

effective year; and

(2)           Each operator must provide documentation of

a minimum of six contact hours of Commission approved training during each year

following the year of initial certification. 

(b)  Certificate(s) that are not renewed when due shall be

considered invalid.  In order to renew a certificate that has been invalid for

up to two years, all outstanding renewal fees and supplemental processing fees

and penalties that have accrued since the certificate was last renewed must be

paid and all accrued continuing education requirements must be met.  In order

to renew a certificate that has been invalid for two or more consecutive years

the operator shall be required to take and make a passing score on an

examination of the same type and grade as the former certificate.  In order to

qualify for the examination, all relevant requirements of Section .0400 of this

Subchapter must be met.  Any requirements in Section .0400 of this Subchapter

for Commission approved training must have been met within the previous 12

month period.  Invalid Conditional Certificates are not renewable.

(c)  Renewal notices shall be mailed to each certified

operator, at the last known address for the operator on file with the

Commission, 60 calendar days prior to the renewal due date.  Failure to receive

a renewal notice does not relieve a certified operator of the responsibility to

renew the certificate by the renewal due date.
