SECTION 35:17-3-8. Application for license renewal

(a)   An application for renewal shall be submitted prior to July 1 of each year the license is to be renewed.

(b)   Any license for which a renewal application is received prior to the renewal date established by statute is considered to be valid until a final determination is made. The determination shall be made after a review by the Department.

(1)   Renewals meeting the requirements shall be reissued a license unless sufficent cause to terminate or revoke the license is shown. If corrections of the renewal application are required, the owner shall have twenty (20) working days from the date of notification to make all necessary revisions.

(2)   If corrections are not made within twenty (20) working days, the license may be referred to the Board for denial. Applications shall be considered to meet the requirements for renewal if:

(A)   The application is filled out completely and accurately.

(B)   The correct renewal fee is paid within the time specified.

(C)   All plans and amended plans for the swine feeding operation are being followed.

(D)   The Department determines that there have been no significant changes in the operation since the last renewal which would require that the license be denied due to failure of the facility to meet the requirements of the Act.

(3)   In addition to the renewal fee established by Section 20-16(B) of Title 2 of the Oklahoma Statutes, each owner of an LMFO shall also be required to pay eighty cents ($0.80) per licensed swine animal unit.
