Applicants must submit a complete, legible, timely, and accurate application to the Commission that contains all materials, forms, documents, information, and fees required by the Commission. The Commission will not accept an incomplete, illegible, untimely, or inaccurate application or an application that doesn’t contain all required materials, forms, documents, information, or fees. The Commission shall give applicants the opportunity to request a review if the Commission does not accept an application it determines is incomplete. A review under this subsection is not subject to the requirements for contested case proceedings of ORS chapter 183.
(3) After accepting an application, the Commission may:
(a) Require additional materials, forms, documents, information, or fees from the applicant or other persons when the Commission determines that the materials, forms, documents, information, or fees are required by law or rule or may help the Commission determine the merits of an application or to otherwise perform its statutory duties;
(b) Inactivate an application when the Commission determines that the applicant failed to provide to the Commission all required materials, forms, documents, information, and fees in a manner that are complete, accurate, legible, and timely. The Commission shall give applicants the opportunity to request a review if the Commission inactivates an application. A review under this subsection is not subject to the requirements for contested case proceedings of ORS chapter 183.
(4) The Commission may revoke or refuse to issue or renew a Direct Shipper Permit if the permit holder or applicant fails to qualify for the permit under this rule or a refusal basis applies under ORS Chapter 471 or any other rule of the Commission and intervening circumstances do not overcome the refusal basis.
(5) A Direct Shipper Permit must be renewed annually.
(a) If the person holds the permit based on a license issued by another state, the permit may be renewed by applying in writing using the forms provided by the Commission and submitting the required fee. The Commission may require additional forms, documents, or information as part of the application.
(b) If the person holds the permit based on an annual license issued by this state, the permit may be renewed at the same time that the license is renewed.
