OAR 635-005-0760: Renewal of Permit — Ocean Scallop

(1) Ocean Scallop Permits may be renewed the following year pursuant to ORS 508.849 and ORS 508.858. (2) An application for renewal of an Ocean Scallop 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 December 31 of the year the permit is sought for renewal. 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 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.
