			 the number of days before the action was filed and the number of days after the
			 action was disposed of by the court.

Final notification.
The
			 licensing authority shall notify the licensee in writing through regular
			 first-class mail, or by such other means as the licensing authority determines
			 appropriate in the circumstances, within ten days of the effective date of the

			 if the license is reinstated following the licensing authority's receipt of a
			 withdrawal certificate.
