(a) Any license issued under the Bingo Enabling Act expires one calendar year or two calendar years from the first date of the license period, as specified on the license.(b) In order to renew a license issued under the Bingo Enabling Act, a licensee must timely file an application for renewal with the Commission. The renewal application must be on a form prescribed by the Commission. The Commission will not approve a renewal application until the application is complete and the licensee submits the requisite fee pursuant to §402.404 of this title (relating to License Classes and Fees). A licensee is solely responsible for the timely filing of an application for renewal of its regular license.(c) The Commission may notify licensees regarding the expiration of their license(s) and the potential for renewal. Failure of the licensee to receive the renewal notice(s) provided by the Commission is not a mitigating circumstance for untimely filing of a renewal application.(d) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, if a renewal application is not timely filed, a licensee may renew its license by filing a complete application for renewal with the Commission and, if applicable, submitting the requisite license fee and late license renewal fee. The late license renewal fee is based on the estimated license fee for the renewal period. Penalty amounts are calculated as follows:Attached Graphic(e) Any required late license renewal fee is due within 14 calendar days of the date of the written notification by the Commission of the amount due.(f) The Commission will not issue a temporary license to a licensed authorized organization that has not filed its renewal application.(g) A late license renewal fee is not refundable.(h) License renewal applications received more than 60 days after the license expiration date will be returned unprocessed by the Commission to the sender.(i) To be complete, an application for renewal must contain all information that is required to be provided in or with the initial license application, as well as any other information required by the Commission.(1) All information submitted to the Commission must be legible, correct, and complete.(2) If any information previously submitted to the Commission with the licensee's initial license application or a previous renewal application has not changed since the information was last submitted to the Commission, the renewal applicant need not provide that information again. The applicant must certify on the renewal application that no changes have been made to the specific information since it was last submitted to the Commission.(j) Unless otherwise provided by law or rule, the general licensing provisions in §402.400 of this title (relating to General Licensing Provisions) shall govern the license renewal process, including the submission and review of the renewal application, as if the renewal application was an initial license application.(k) Except as authorized by the Charitable Bingo Operations Director, or his or her designee, license renewal applications received by the Commission more than 60 days prior to the current license expiration date will be returned unprocessed by the Commission to the sender.
