(5)

All applicants for renewal of unlimited licenses shall provide certification of meeting the continuing professional development requirements specified in OAR 856-016-0001 (Continuing Professional Development and Safety Training). Unless waived as provided below in this paragraph, failure to comply with all requirements for renewal of license shall constitute the failure to submit a complete application for renewal and will result in the withholding of the renewal license. A pilot who is unable to complete the requirements within the time allowed due to unexpected, emergency circumstances may request in writing a waiver and the Board may, upon good cause shown, permit a license renewal for one year without the requirements being met, provided that all required certifications must be made by the applicant at the time application for renewal is made the following year.

Each license issued is valid for one year and only the unlimited state license may be renewed.

(7)

Notwithstanding subsection (4) of this section, if a pilot has submitted an application for renewal of the pilot’s federal license at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of his federal license, but the United States Coast Guard has not completed its renewal process by the expiration date for the federal license and the pilot has, for that reason, no currently applicable federal license at the time of renewing his state license, then the board may issue a provisionally renewed state license. Any pilot to whom a provisionally renewed state license is issued must report to the board every 30 days regarding the status of the pilot’s federal license renewal. If the United States Coast Guard completes its processing for the federal license but declines to renew the federal license, the board may treat the refusal to renew the federal license as a suspension or revocation of the federal license.
(8) Notwithstanding subsection (5) of this section, a pilot who has submitted a timely and otherwise complete application for renewal of the pilot’s state license but has not completed one or more of the requirements specified in 856-016-0001 (Continuing Professional Development and Safety Training)(1) may make a written request for a temporary waiver. If the pilot has never previously been granted a provisional renewal under this subsection, the pilot’s license may be renewed, with the following stipulations:
(a) Any pilot to whom a provisionally renewed state license is issued under this subsection must, within 90 days of provisional renewal, demonstrate completion of all of the requirements specified in 856-016-0001 (Continuing Professional Development and Safety Training)(1) or permanently retire the pilot’s state license without possibility of renewal.
(b) Failure within 90 days of provisional renewal to demonstrate completion of all of the requirements specified in 856-016-0001 (Continuing Professional Development and Safety Training)(1) or to permanently retire the pilot’s state license, shall constitute a serious danger to public health and safety under ORS 183.430 (Hearing on refusal to renew license)(2), and the Board may immediately suspend the pilot’s license without hearing.
