  department not more than six months nor less than four months  prior  to
  the expiration thereof.
    2. The application for renewal shall include such information prepared
  in such manner and detail as the commissioner may require, including but
  not limited to:
    (a)  any  material  change  in  the circumstances or factors listed in
  section thirty-three hundred twelve of this article;
    (b) every known charge or investigation, pending or  concluded  during
  the period of the license, by any governmental agency with respect to:
    (i)  each  incident  or alleged incident involving the theft, loss, or
  possible diversion of controlled substances manufactured or  distributed
  by the applicant; and
    (ii)  compliance by the applicant with the requirements of the federal
  controlled substances act, or the laws of any state with respect to  any
  substance listed in section thirty-three hundred six of this article.
    3. An applicant for renewal shall be under a continuing duty to report
  to  the department any change in facts or circumstances reflected in the
  application or any newly discovered or occurring  fact  or  circumstance
  which is required to be included in the application.
    4. If the commissioner is not satisfied that the applicant is entitled
  to  a renewal of such license, he shall within forty-five days after the
  filing of the application serve upon the applicant or  his  attorney  of
  record  in  person or by registered or certified mail an order directing
  the applicant to show cause why his application for renewal  should  not
  be  denied. Such order shall specify in detail the respects in which the
  applicant has not satisfied the commissioner that the license should  be
  renewed.

  date for hearing not sooner than fifteen days nor later than thirty days
  after receipt of the demand, unless such time limitation  is  waived  by
  the applicant.
