If an applicant for renewal does not have an RME as a full time employee as a result of death or disassociation of an RME within _________ preceding the expiration of the certificate of registration the renewal applicant must inform the license section SFMO of the employment of a full time RME before the certificate of registration will be renewed.

• A. 30 Days
• B. 15 Days
• C. 60 Days
• D. 90 Days

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that renewal hinges on having a full-time RME in place to supervise the work. If the RME dies or disassociates, you must appoint a new full-time RME and inform the SFMO’s license section before the certificate of registration is renewed. The required notice window is 30 days before the expiration, which gives the licensing authority time to review and verify the new RME and update records so there isn’t a lapse in supervision when the renewal is processed. A shorter window wouldn’t leave enough time for proper approval, while a longer one could unnecessarily delay the renewal process, but the policy is set so that the notice arrives within 30 days of the renewal deadline to ensure continuous compliance.
