1. A. The Board shall mail a renewal application to each dental school holding a Class III dental school facility permit at least 180 days before the expiration of the permit.

2. B. Before a Class III dental school facility permit expires, the dental school may renew the permit for an additional 5-year term if the dental school:

   1. (1) Submits to the Board, at least 90 days before the expiration of the permit, a renewal application on a form provided by the Board;
   2. (2) Passes a renewal facility evaluation in each facility for which the dental school wishes to renew a permit; and
   3. (3) Pays the renewal fee set by the Board in COMAR 10.44.20.

3. C. The renewal evaluation outlined in §B(2) of this regulation shall consist of an evaluation of:

   1. (1) Anesthesia and monitoring equipment to ensure they are in proper working order; and

   2. (2) Drugs in the facility to ensure that the dental school:

      1. (a) Maintains the appropriate drugs on the premises; and
      2. (b) Only utilizes drugs on the premises the dates of which have not expired.

4. D. If a dental school returns a renewal application for a Class III dental school facility permit to the Board at least 90 days before the expiration of the permit, and the Board is unable to approve or deny the application before the expiration of the permit through no fault of the dental school, the permit shall remain in effect until the Board:

   1. (1) Renews the permit; or
   2. (2) Denies renewal of the permit.
5. E. Failure to receive the Board's renewal application does not relieve the dental school from the requirement to submit a renewal application to the Board at least 90 days before the expiration of the permit.
