last known address of the registrant. Such notice shall advise the
registrant of the inactive status and the procedures required to
reactivate a valid certificate of registration. Such notice shall detail
the criteria and fees to be satisfied for reactivation. If such
registration is not reactivated, on the ninetieth day after the end of
the biennial registration period, such registration shall lapse.

4. The department shall reissue a temporary certificate of
registration valid for a period of one year upon the receipt of a
renewal application, the renewal fee and a written statement verifying
continued supervision by a registered hearing aid dispenser.
