OAR 635-004-0320: Renewal of Permit

(1) Black Rockfish/Blue Rockfish/Nearshore Fishery Permits may be renewed the following year pursuant to ORS 508.947 and ORS 508.949. (2) An application for renewal of a Black Rockfish/Blue Rockfish/Nearshore Fishery Permit shall be considered complete if it is legible, has all information requested in the form, is accompanied by the required fee in full, and is date-stamped or postmarked by January 1 of the year the permit is sought for renewal. (3) Permits issued under this rule expire on December 31 of each year. If an owner of a vessel with a permit does not submit a complete renewal application by January 1 of the permit year sought, the owner may renew the permit by submitting a complete renewal application after January 1 but before April 1 of the permit year sought if the owner pays a $150.00 late fee in addition to the fee required under section (1) of this rule. (4) It is the responsibility of the permittee to ensure that 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.
