(a) An evaluation agency or inspection agency
					 approved by the Department under §
											145.75 (relating to procedures for
					 obtaining approvals of evaluation and inspection agencies) may apply to the
					 Department for reapproval. The application for reapproval may be filed with the
					 Department within 60 days prior to the scheduled expiration of the current
					 approval from the Department. The applying third-party agency seeking
					 reapproval shall completely and accurately furnish pertinent information
					 necessary to make current the information previously submitted to the
					 Department as part of its original application for approval and subsequent
					 applications for reapproval. The applying third-party agency shall provide
					 additional information that the Department may request. The application for
					 reapproval shall utilize forms that the Department may require. The application
					 for reapproval will become a permanent record of the Department. The
					 application will be accompanied by the fee established under §
											145.94 (relating to fees). The
					 Department may conduct additional investigations of the applying third-party
					 agency that it deems necessary.
(b)
					 Within 30 days following the receipt by the Department of an application for
					 reapproval, the Department will make its determination whether the applying
					 third-party agency continues to meet the requirements of this chapter for an
					 industrialized housing evaluation agency or industrialized building evaluation
					 agency, or both, or an industrialized housing inspection agency or
					 industrialized building inspection agency, or both. In the event of a
					 disapproval, the Department will provide the applying third-party agency with a
					 brief written explanation of the reasons for the disapproval. In the event of a
					 reapproval, the Department will provide the applying third-party agency with a
					 brief written letter of reapproval. A reapproval will expire on the date of the
					 next anniversary of the date of the scheduled expiration of the current
					 approval from the Department.
(c)
					 The Department may, on its own motion or at the request of an evaluation agency
					 or inspection agency, grant a temporary reapproval of an evaluation agency or
					 inspection agency for a period not to exceed 60 days. The applying third-party
					 agency seeking reapproval shall be subject to procedures that satisfy the
					 Department of its ability to perform its functions. The procedures shall
					 require annual interviews of third-party agency personnel at their headquarters
					 or by teleconference to assess the desired performance.
