(1)
Scope.
The provisions of
				this Rule, 391-3-17-.10, shall apply to the administrative procedures required
				by this Chapter.
(2)
Administration.
(a)
				Administrative Examination of Applications. Applications for the issuance of a
				license, amendment of a license at the request of the holder, and renewal of a
				license will be given a docket or other identifying number for administrative
				examination. The applicant may be required to submit additional information and
				may be requested to confer informally regarding the application. The Division
				will give to others such notice of the filing of applications as is required
				under the applicable provisions of this Chapter and such additional notices as
				it deems appropriate.
(b) Effect of
				Timely Renewal Application. In the case of an application for renewal, if the
				licensee has made application for the renewal of an existing license at least
				30 days prior to its expiration date, the license shall not be deemed to have
				expired until such application shall have been determined.
(c) Filing of Papers. Unless otherwise
				specified, papers required to be filed with the Division shall be filed with
				the Environmental Protection Division, Radioactive Materials Program, 4244
				International Parkway, Suite 120 Atlanta, Georgia 30354. Papers required to be
				filed with the Division shall be deemed filed upon actual receipt with the
				Division at the location specified. Unless otherwise specified, the filing,
				when by mail, shall upon actual receipt be deemed complete as of the date of
				deposit in the mail. Papers may be filed at the Division's offices in Atlanta,
				Georgia.
(d) Payment of Fees. All
				licensees shall remit annual fees in accordance with Table 1, the Radioactive
				Materials License Fee Schedule. Annual fee payments for general and specific
				licenses are due before the end of the calendar year for the following calendar
				year. New licensees shall be invoiced for annual fees at a prorated rate. Such
				fees shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Fees for
				applications for specific licenses, and annual fees for reciprocity applicants,
				shall accompany the request. An application fee must accompany renewal
				applications that are submitted after a license has expired. Licensees with
				fees which are delinquent shall not have any request for amendment or renewal
				of their licenses, except in the interest of public health and safety, honored
				by the Division until such fees are paid in full or a payment plan has been
				accepted by the Division.
