If the owner or operator complies with this request of the director within a reasonable period of time as specified by the director, the updated application shall be processed in accordance with applicable law, including continuation of the existing registration status if appropriate. If the owner or operator fails to comply with this request of the director within a reasonable period of time as specified by the director, the permit-to-operate application previously submitted by such owner or operator for such source shall be removed from registration status and processed in accordance with applicable law. Any subsequent permit denial or notice of application deficiency shall serve as notice to the owner or operator of the source that the permit-to-operate application for such source has in fact been removed from registration status.(E) The director may revoke a registration status obtained prior to June 30, 2008 if the permittee requests revocation for cause and the director determines that granting the requested revocation will not result in the violation of any applicable laws. When a permittee requests a revocation pursuant to the paragraph, the director, without prior hearing, shall make a final determination on the request. Revocation of registration status shall be final immediately after service of notice to the registration status holder.
