					 period.
(e) Any certificate holder
					 not practicing in an applicable school, may allow his/her registration to lapse

					 subdivision (f) of this section.
(h) Any certificate holder who fails to
					 submit a replacement fee as required in subdivision (g) of this section shall

					 holder shall notify the department of any change of name or address no later
					 than 30 days after such change through the online TEACH system.
