NAC504.666. Subguides: 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 subguide and his or her qualifications as the Department deems necessary. The final 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 completed 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 completed application.

Ê A licensee who is in good standing and whose application for renewal is received on or before December 1 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 December 1, 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 that he or she completed successfully a course in the responsibilities of hunters with his or her application as required by NAC 504.600, the Department will notify the applicant, in writing or electronically, of the omission. The applicant must submit the required documentation to the Department within 30 days after he or she receives the formal notification from the Department of the omission. If the Department does not receive the documentation within the 30-day period, the Department will consider the application to be incomplete and will take no further action on the application.

     3. If an application is denied for reasons set forth 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 deny the application for a license as a subguide if:

     (a) The applicant holds a current restricted nonresident deer tag; or

     (b) The master guide who will employ the applicant as a subguide is not authorized by the Department to guide in the area that the applicant lists in his or her application.
