1.  The  secretary  shall  provide  a  method for the
  biennial  review  of  a  certificate  of  registration   and   temporary
  certificate of registration.
    2.  The  department  shall  reissue a certificate of registration upon
  receipt of a  renewal  application,  the  renewal  fee,  and  a  written
  statement  affirming compliance with all other requirements set forth in
  this article including evidence of compliance with section seven hundred
  ninety-four of this article. A registrant shall retain, if applicable, a
  certificate from a manufacturer or independent testing agent  certifying
  that the testing room utilized by such registrant meets the requirements
  of   section   seven  hundred  ninety-eight  of  this  article  and,  if
  applicable, a certificate from a  manufacturer  or  independent  testing
  agent  stating  that  all  audiometric  testing  equipment  used  by the
  registrant has been calibrated on an annual basis according to rules and
  regulations  promulgated  by  the  secretary,   consistent   with   ANSI
  requirements  or  in accordance with standards promulgated under article
  one hundred fifty-nine of the education law.
    3. Any certificate of registration which is not renewed at the end  of
  the biennial period of registration as prescribed by the secretary shall
  automatically  revert  to  an  inactive  status.  If  the certificate of
  registration has not been renewed within thirty days subsequent  to  the
  biennial expiration date, the secretary shall send notice by mail to the
  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.
