SECTION 420:10-1-6. Application for certificate or permit

(a)   Filing Fee. Application for any new permit under the rules of this chapter shall be filed with the Administrator on written forms to be prescribed by the Board or Administrator and shall be accompanied with the filing fee in the amount of Ten Dollars ($10.00) for each permit, along with the appropriate permit fee.

(b)   Examination. Before any permit shall be issued, except those which may be specifically exempt from requirement for examination by the statutes, or by this chapter the applicant shall be required to pass a necessary written examination to satisfy the Board or Administrator that the applicant possesses the necessary technical knowledge and qualifications so as to safely deal with the product, commodity or render the services authorized by the permit. All examination fees are Ten Dollars ($10.00), except Class I ($55.00), and Class X ($55.00).

(c)   Exception to acquiring Class I through examination. An applicant for a Class I Dealers Permit may purchase a Class I permit from its present owner, as per O.S. Title 52, but must meet the following conditions:

(1)   Only Active Class I Dealer Permits are transferable. An Inactive Class I Dealer Permit is not transferable;

(2)   Pay a Class I Transfer Fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00);

(3)   A Class X Manager's permit must be in place, before the transfer, for the person actually in charge of the LP gas operation at each separate branch or base of operation of the Class I permit holder;

(4)   Have on file with the LP Gas Administration the required Class I insurance requirements as per 420:10-1-18.

(d)   Other requirements.

(1)   The mere filing of an application for a permit does not of itself authorize the engaging of any of the operations sought in said application. Such operations are prohibited except pursuant to an order of the Board or Administrator issuing such permit and only after the applicant has satisfied the Board or Administrator as to its qualifications and fitness by a written examination, when required, and filing of all the necessary insurance and meeting other requirements of the statutes and of this chapter.

(2)   Any person, firm or corporation to whom a permit is issued shall commence operation within 90 days from the date of issuance of such permit, unless this time be extended by the authority issuing the permit for good cause.
