199—10.8 (479) Renewal permits. A petition for renewal of an original or previously renewed pipeline permit may be filed at any time subsequent to issuance of the permit and prior to expiration of the permit. The petition shall be made on the form prescribed by the board. Instructions for the petition are included as a part of the form. The procedure for petition for permit shall be followed with respect to publication of notice, objections, and assessment of costs. If review of the petition finds unresolved issues of fact or law, or if an objection is filed within 20 days of the second publication of the published notice, the matter will be set for hearing. If a hearing is not required, a renewal permit will be issued upon the filing of the proof of publication required by 199—10.4(479). Renewal permits shall normally expire 25 years from date of issue. No permit shall be granted for a period longer than 25 years. The same procedure shall be followed for subsequent renewals.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 476.2 and 479.23.
