§ 797. Reporting And Suspension.
Currentness
(a) The certificant shall provide written notification to the Administrator of an event or situation which could produce a material change that affects the certificant's ability to comply with the financial responsibility requirements. Such events include, but are not limited to, a spill occurring within or outside of California for which the certificant may be liable for damages, bankruptcy or insolvency, or some other significant action against the certificant. Additionally, the certificant must notify the Administrator in writing of any other potential liability that could produce a material change that affects the certificant's ability to comply with the financial responsibility requirements. Written notification must be submitted within 10 calendar days of knowledge of the incident or knowledge of sufficient facts which would lead a reasonably prudent person to investigate the situation. For purposes of this subsection, “material change” means an event or action which could cause the certificant to be liable for damages in an amount exceeding five percent of the total financial resources reflected by the certificate or, if owners' equity exceeds the total amount of financial resources reflected by the certificate, five percent of the owners' equity.
(b) Upon notification to the Administrator of a spill or other situation or potential liability, as required by subsection (a) above, the Administrator shall reevaluate the validity of the certificate of financial responsibility.
(c) Upon a determination by the Administrator that the certificant lacks sufficient financial resources to assume financial responsibility for both the current spill or liability and also have adequate resources remaining available to meet the requirements of this chapter, the Administrator shall suspend the certificate following 10 calendar days written notice to the certificant.
(d) Suspension of the certificate shall continue until the certificant demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Administrator, that the certificant has the financial resources needed to meet the requirements of this chapter.
(e) Request for Reconsideration.
Certificants may submit a request for reconsideration of the Administrator's decision to suspend the certificate, by following the process described in section 790.5 of chapter 1.
