Determining Volume of Business for New Applicant
: A
				new applicant may obtain a license on the basis of an estimate of the volume of
				business the applicant expects to do during the term of the license for which
				the application is made. When a first year applicant obtains a license on the
				basis of an estimate of its purchases for the year, and the licensee, in fact,
				buys an amount of grain equal to or more than the initial estimate, the
				licensee shall revise the estimate and immediately furnish sufficient
				additional security to cover the additional projected purchases.
003.02C
Background
				Check
: All applications for a grain dealer license shall include
				the primary party. Such primary party shall be subject to fingerprinting and a
				check of his or her criminal history record information maintained by the
				Federal Bureau of Investigation through the Nebraska State Patrol:
(1) If the applicant is not an individual,
				the chief executive officer, president, or general manager; or
(2) if the applicant is an individual, the
				individual. If the primary party has been subject to a check of his or her
				criminal history record information pursuant to this section on a prior
				application, he or she is not subject to another such check upon a subsequent
				application. If a primary party has been subject to a check of his or her
				criminal history record information pursuant to another law, the Commission may
				waive such requirement. A primary party shall furnish to the Nebraska State
				Patrol a full set of fingerprints to enable a criminal background investigation
				to be conducted. The primary party (1) may be fingerprinted at a Nebraska State
				Patrol office, or (2) may request a fingerprint card from the Commission. If a
				primary party is fingerprinted at a county sheriff's office or a local police
				department, the primary party shall send the completed fingerprint card to the
				Nebraska State Patrol, c/o/ Criminal Records & Identification, P.O. Box
				94907, Lincoln, Nebraska, 68509-4907. The primary party shall request that the
				Nebraska State Patrol submit the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of
				Investigation for a national criminal history record check. The primary party
				shall pay the actual cost, if any, of the fingerprinting and check of his or
				her criminal history record information. The primary party shall authorize
				release of the national criminal history record check to the Commission. The
				criminal history record information check shall be completed within ninety days
				after the date the application for a license is received in the Commission's
				office, and if not, the application shall be returned to the applicant. The
				Commission shall deny a dealer license to any applicant whose primary party has
				been convicted of a felony financial crime.
