Purpose


This rule is proposed as a new rule. The purpose and effect of the proposed new rule is to specify the renewal requirements for registrations that expire on December 31, 2014, specifically, the non-refundable renewal fee to be submitted by a registrant, the procedures to be followed by registrants in submitting fingerprints for each control person prior to the registration renewal, to establish a deadline for registrants to respond to the Office with additional information, and to provide that a registration will automatically expire if the registrant does not respond to the Office by the deadline. The proposed new rule also specifies the renewal requirements for registrations expiring on December 31, 2015, and thereafter, specifically, the non-refundable renewal fee to be submitted by a registrant, and the non-refundable fee to be submitted by a registrant to cover the costs in retaining the fingerprints of each control person. The proposed new rule states that failure to remit the fees required by the expiration date for registrations expiring on December 31, 2015, and thereafter will automatically result in expiration of the registration.
