In an application proceeding in which a hearing is held because a statute or regulation requires a hearing or because the Department schedules a hearing on its own initiative, all actions in the proceeding subsequent to the scheduling of such hearing shall be governed by such section.(2) Any public notice of hearing on an application issued by the Department shall indicate the place and times at which a copy of the application is available for public inspection.(c)License renewals(1) An application for renewal of a license shall be filed no later than 120 days before the expiration of the existing license, unless an earlier filing is required or a later filing allowed by an applicable statute or regulation. An application for a license renewal shall be made in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, except that the applicant may, unless otherwise provided by law, include in the application a copy of material from his most recently approved application concerning the same subject matter.(2) If an application for license renewal is untimely filed, the existing license shall expire on the expiration date established therein or, if no expiration date is established therein, on the expiration date established by an applicable statute or regulation.(3)(A) An application for license renewal is insufficient if it does not comply with the requirements of subsection (a) of this section and the requirements of any other applicable provisions of law governing the form, contents, and filing of such application, or is so manifestly insufficient as to make further processing impossible. If an application for license renewal is timely but insufficient, the Commissioner shall send notice to the applicant describing the way in which the application is insufficient. If the applicant does not submit a sufficient application within thirty days of the mailing of such notice of insufficiency or within such other time as the Commissioner deems appropriate and specifies in writing, the existing license shall expire on the expiration date established therein or, if no expiration date is established therein, on the expiration date established by an applicable statute or regulation.
