     2. A request for an extension of time may be submitted in person or by mail to any branch office of the Department that issues licenses for occupations and businesses regulated by the Department. A request that is mailed shall be deemed to be submitted on the date of the postmark that appears on the envelope in which the request was mailed, if postage is prepaid and the envelope is properly addressed to an office of the Department.

     3. A seller, a long-term lessor or an authorized representative may submit more than one request for an extension of time to submit the same documents and fees. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the Department will approve a second or subsequent request for an extension of time if the Department determines that such a request is justified.

     4. If a seller, a long-term lessor or an authorized representative submits three or more requests for an extension of time related to the submission of the same documents and fees, the Department will ensure that the third request, or any request subsequent to the third request, is forwarded to the Division of Compliance Enforcement of the Department for review by that Division. The Department will not approve the third request or any request subsequent to the third request unless the Division of Compliance Enforcement of the Department first approves the request.

     5. If the Department grants a request for an extension of time pursuant to this section, the seller or the long-term lessor will have 30 days after the date on which the Department approves the request to submit the documents and fees he or she is required to submit pursuant to NRS 482.423, 482.4235, 482.424 or 482.4245.
