NAC504.661. Master guides: Action by Department on applications; timely submission of application for renewal of license.

     1. The Department will make such additional investigation of an applicant for a license as a master guide and his or her qualifications as it deems necessary. A preliminary decision of the Department:

     (a) Upon an application for renewal of an existing license, will be made not later than 60 days after the date of receipt of the complete application; and

     (b) Upon an initial application for a license, will be made not later than 90 days after the date of receipt of the complete application.

Ê A licensee who is in good standing and whose application for renewal is received on or before August 31 is entitled to a new license for the ensuing license year upon complying with the provisions of NAC 504.590 to 504.711, inclusive. If a licensee submits his or her application for renewal on or before August 31, the current license issued by the Department will remain in effect until the Department issues a new license or notifies the licensee in writing that it has denied the application for renewal.

     2. If an applicant fails to include proof of certification in first aid or proof of the successful completion of a course in the responsibilities of hunters with his or her application as required in NAC 504.600 or has failed to submit timely client reports pursuant to NAC 504.688, the Department will notify the applicant, in writing or electronically, of the deficiency. The applicant must submit the required documents to the Department within 30 days after he or she receives the notification. If the Department does not receive the requisite documentation within the 30-day period, the Department will consider the application to be incomplete, will return the application to the applicant and will take no further action on the application.

     3. If an application is denied for a reason listed in NAC 504.671, the Department will notify the applicant, in writing or electronically, of the reasons for denial. The applicant may appeal such a denial to the Commission.

     4. The Department will only accept applications for licenses as a master guide beginning on July 1 and ending on August 31 of each year.
