The objections must be in writing and include a written statement detailing the specific items in the notice of proposed agency action to which the person objects; and
   6. (vi) a statement that the failure to object within the time provided may result in the adoption of the proposed penalties as the final penalties and that, pursuant to section 519.18 of this Title, the issues to be addressed at an administrative hearing will be limited to those matters contained in any objection to the proposed action.
3. (3) Any documentation or written arguments submitted by the person objecting to the notice of proposed agency action must be mailed to OMIG, at the address specified in the notice of proposed agency action, within 30 calendar days of receipt of the notice of proposed agency action which will be presumed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to be five calendar days after the date on the notice of proposed agency action.
