			 provided by the board and presented to the administrator of the board at least
			 thirty (30) days prior to expiration of license.
(2) Every state-licensed pilots shall be
			 required to have an annual physical examination by an Oregon or Washington
			 licensed physician within eleven (11) months prior to the date the pilot is
			 required to submit application for renewal of license to the board, the
			 physical requirements for which are the same as for the original license as
			 specified in OAR 856-010-0010(2),
			 except for drug testing.

			 state-licensed pilots shall, within six months prior to the expiration of their
			 license, submit to a test indicating licensee is free of illegal substance
			 abuse. Testing will be for the presence of Cocaine, Opiates, Marijuana (THC),
			 Amphetamines and PCP (phencyclidine). Testing will be in accordance with the
			 Department of Transportation (Coast Guard) guidelines outlined in the Code of
			 Federal Regulations 46, CFR
			 §
									16 (2009). Urine specimens are to be
			 analyzed by a laboratory that meets DHHS regulations set forth by the National
			 Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA); or provide proof to the board that licensee is
			 participating in a US Coast Guard approved random drug testing program;
(4) All applicants for renewal of
			 licenses shall submit a photocopy of their currently applicable United States
			 government license with radar endorsement issued by the United States Coast
			 Guard.
(5) All applicants for
			 renewal of unlimited licenses shall provide certification of meeting the
			 continuing professional development requirements specified in OAR
			 856-010-0027. Unless waived as
			 provided below in this paragraph, failure to comply with all requirements for
			 renewal of license shall constitute the failure to submit a complete
			 application for renewal and will result in the withholding of the renewal
			 license. A pilot who is unable to complete the requirements within the time
			 allowed due to unexpected, emergency circumstances may request in writing a
			 waiver and the Board may, upon good cause shown, permit a license renewal for
			 one year without the requirements being met, provided that all required
			 certifications must be made by the applicant at the time application for
			 renewal is made the following year.
(6) Each license issued is valid for one year
			 and only the unlimited state license may be renewed.
(7) Notwithstanding subsection (4) of this
			 section, if a pilot has submitted an application for renewal of the pilot's
			 federal license at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of his federal
			 license, but the United States Coast Guard has not completed its renewal
			 process by the expiration date for the federal license and the pilot has, for
			 that reason, no currently applicable federal license at the time of renewing
			 his state license, then the board may issue a provisionally renewed state
			 license. Any pilot to whom a provisionally renewed state license is issued must
			 report to the board every 30 days regarding the status of the pilot's federal
			 license renewal. If the United States Coast Guard completes its processing for
			 the federal license but declines to renew the federal license, the board may
			 treat the refusal to renew the federal license as a suspension or revocation of
			 the federal license
