Section 41-10-37Allocation procedure. Allocations of the state ceiling shall be granted by the authority in response to applications filed with the authority by any issuer in the following manner: (1) Each application shall be made by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or agent of the issuer and shall contain (i) the names and addresses of the issuer, the proposed lessee, purchaser or user of the project to be financed (if applicable), and bond counsel, (ii) the maximum principal amount of affected bonds proposed to be issued, (iii) a brief description of the project to be financed, and (iv) a brief description of the affected bonds proposed to be issued, identifying such bonds as "Exempt Facility Bonds," "Qualified Mortgage Bonds", "Qualified Small Issue Bonds" (and if "Qualified Small Issue Bonds," further indicating whether the project to be financed constitutes a "Manufacturing Facility"), "Qualified Student Loan Bonds," or "Qualified Redevelopment Bonds." In addition, a copy of any notification required by law to be filed with the Alabama Securities Commission in connection with the issuance of the bonds which are the subject of the application shall also be filed with the authority together with the application. All applications shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to the authority at such address and in such manner as may be specified by the authority. (2) Each application and each request for an extension of an allocation shall be accompanied by an administrative fee in such amount as may be determined by the authority. (3) All applications shall be processed and all allocations shall be made by the authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 41-10-38. (4) Each allocation of state ceiling granted by the authority prior to December 1 of any calendar year shall expire upon the earlier of (i) 60 calendar days following the date of allocation, or (ii) midnight on November 30 of the calendar year in which the allocation is made, unless a notification confirming issuance of the bonds has been received by the authority as described in subdivision (5) below, subject to extension for such period as may be permitted at the discretion of the authority for good cause shown. Any application which has expired may be renewed by resubmission of a new application. Any allocation granted by the authority on or after December 1 of any year shall expire at such time as may be designated by the authority in such allocation. The foregoing provisions of this subdivision (4) shall not apply to carryforward allocation, which shall be effective for the period provided in Section 146(f)(3) of the code. (5) Every allocation shall be subject to the condition subsequent that a notification confirming the issuance of bonds pursuant to such allocation must be received in the office of the president of the authority within such period of time following the date of issuance of the bonds as may be provided by the authority. The confirmation required hereby may be executed by any officer, representative or agent of the issuer, by hand delivery, or by regular, certified or registered mail, and shall be effective upon receipt at the office of the president of the authority. Failure to provide a confirmation within the specified period shall authorize the authority to revoke the allocation for which the confirmation is required; provided, however, that the authority shall waive any such revocation upon a reasonable and timely showing of good cause for such failure or undue hardship that would be caused by the said revocation, and any such revocation shall be subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction. (6) On December 1 of each calendar year, any portion of the state ceiling previously allocated by the authority, for which a confirmation of issuance has not been received by the authority as required by subdivision (5) above shall revert to the authority, to be allocated along with any other portion of the state ceiling then available, to issuers of affected bonds at the discretion of the authority, subject to the duty of fairness and impartiality in the granting of allocations set forth in Section 41-10-40. Applications for allocations to be made during the month of December shall be submitted to the authority in the manner required in subdivisions (1) and (2) above. (Acts 1988, 1st Ex. Sess., No. 88-870, p. 382, §3.)
