(1) Any owner or operator engaged in, or
			 intending to engage in, the operation of a nonretail facility or a conditional
			 nonretail facility must apply for and obtain a license issued by the State Fire
			 Marshal. The application, fees, and supporting documents for new facilities
			 must be submitted and received by the State Fire Marshal 45 days prior to the
			 date nonretail or conditional nonretail dispensing commences.
(2) A separate license must be applied for
			 and obtained for each nonretail facility or conditional nonretail
			 facility.
(3) The license must be
			 obtained prior to start of the nonretail facility or conditional nonretail
			 facility operation, or the owner or operator may be assessed a civil penalty
			 and be subject to closure of the nonretail or conditional nonretail
			 facility.
(4) The application fee
			 for each nonretail facility and conditional nonretail facility license is
			 established by ORS 480.350. Licenses are valid for
			 one year from the date of issue.
(5) In accordance with ORS
			 183.705, the license renewal
			 date of a facility may be adjusted or prorated to correspond with existing
			 State Fire Marshal licensing year dates.
(6) License fees may be either paid at, or
			 mailed to, the State Fire Marshal. The license application may be either
			 delivered to or mailed to the State Fire Marshal.
(7) Payment may be made by personal check,
			 business check, cashier's check or money order made payable to the State Fire
			 Marshal. If the fee is paid by either personal or business check, the State
			 Fire Marshal has the option to not take any action on the license application
			 until the check has cleared the bank.
(8) In addition to the application and
			 renewal fees assessed by this section, owners or operators of nonretail
			 facilities and conditional nonretail facilities shall pay to the State Fire
			 Marshal an annual account fee established by ORS
			 480.350 for each nonretail

			 renewal applications, accompanying documentation, and payment must be
			 postmarked by a United States Postmark, or received at the Department of the
			 State Fire Marshal, no later than 30 days prior to the license expiration for a
			 license renewal that will be valid for the following license year. If the 30
			 days prior to the license expiration date falls on a day when a postmark cannot
			 be obtained, the applications must be postmarked or received by the Department
			 of the State Fire Marshal on the preceding business day.
(10) License application renewals postmarked
			 or received after the deadline set forth under subsection (8) of this rule may
			 be subject to a civil penalty.
