				installation is covered by an annual permit issued pursuant to subrule
				552.1(2), and shall request an inspection of the installation through one of
				the following methods:
(1) An
			 inspection may be requested by completing and electronically submitting a
			 Request for Permit form, available on the Web site of the electrical inspection
			 program. Payment of the permit and inspection fees shall be submitted with the
			 form in accordance with the instructions on the electrical inspection section
			 Web site.

			 by completing a Request for Inspection form and mailing it to the electrical
			 inspection section as provided in rule

			 permit is modified by an inspector, based upon inspection of the electrical
			 installation. The person who obtained the original permit shall be notified
			 immediately by the inspector of the modification and of the amount of any
			 additional fees which are due. Any additional fees shall be due at the time the
			 person responsible for payment receives notification of modification of the
			 permit.

			 the fee is more than 60 days past due, the staff of the board shall notify the
			 person responsible for payment of the fee of the necessity of promptly making
			 the payment.

			 board may suspend the ability of the person responsible for the payment to
			 obtain inspection permits. The secretary shall restore the person's ability to
			 obtain permits when payment of the past due amount has been received.

			 as provided in rule
			 661-503.4
			 (103).
