				  36-16, must have electrical wiring permits executed by the electrical
				  contractor, Class B electrician, or owner doing electrical wiring on a
				  residence or farmstead in compliance with SDCL
				  36-16-15. The commission shall
				  provide the permit. A permit consists of five forms. The procedure for
				  executing a wiring permit is as follows:
(1) Within 15 calendar days after starting an
				electrical installation which is subject to inspection, the installer shall
				send the white copy to the office of the commission. Not sending in the white
				copy within 15 calendar days after the electrical work has started is a late
				wiring permit procedure and the installer is subject to a $100 administrative
				fee;
(2) The hard copy shall be
				posted by the installer on the job site near the service entrance disconnect
				switch location when the electrical installation is started. The installer
				shall securely attach the peel-off sticker, located below the permit number on
				the hard copy, to the outside portion of the permanent building service.
				Failure to post this form and sticker is a late wiring permit procedure and
				subjects the installer to a $250 administrative fee;
(3) The installer shall retain the blue
				copy;
(4) The installer must send
				the yellow and green copies to the supplier of power to the installation to
				have the installation energized. The power supplier shall retain the yellow
				copy. The power supplier shall send all green copies of active wiring permits
				in its possession to the commission office once each month.
Electrical contractors or Class B electricians holding
				  current licenses may secure electrical wiring permits only from the commission
				  office.
An owner doing electrical wiring on a residence or farmstead
				  in compliance with SDCL
				  36-16-15 and
				  36-16-13.1 must secure wiring
				  permits from the commission office, the power supplier, or a state electrical
				  inspector. Electrical contractors, Class B electricians, or owners doing
