Haw. Code R. § 15-212-43
The HCDA may issue or renew a revocable permit for any period up to, but not exceeding one year. Upon expiration of the period stated therein, the permit and all rights of the permittee thereunder shall automatically terminate. No revocable permit shall be renewed unless the conditions of the original issuance are met, nor shall a revocable permit be issued or renewed unless all fees and charges due and payable are paid. The HCDA shall not renew a revocable permit which has been terminated or revoked. A revocable permit may be renewed at any time preceding the expiration date of the mooring permit. The same revocable permit number shall be retained if the renewal application is received prior to the expiration date of the old permit and there is no change in status of the boat. Requests to renew revocable permits which have been expired for less than thirty days, may be granted by the HCDA if there is no change in status of the boat and the permittee's account with the HCDA is current. Requests to renew revocable permits received thirty days or more after the expiration date of the permit shall be treated as an original application with seniority commencing on the date of filing the new, complete application. HCDA's policy is to mail a renewal notice to a permittee prior to the expiration of the permit, at the address furnished by the permittee to the HCDA pursuant to these rules. However, the permittee is responsible for the timely renewal of the permit without receipt of a renewal notice from the HCDA. Temporary mooring permits are not renewable. In view of the acute shortage of available berths, certain levels of the activity for which the regular mooring permit was issued (i.e., cruise, charter, commercial fishing) should be achieved in order to be eligible for renewal of the permit. These levels are established in terms of the minimum gross receipts which should be realized by a permittee in the preceding twelve-month period as follows:
| For Cruise Boats | Minimum Gross Receipts |
| Vessels registered by the State or documented by the United States Coast Guard to carry six passengers or less | $25,000 |
| Vessels certificated by the United States Coast Guard to carry seven to twenty-five passengers | $50,000 |
| Vessels certificated by the United States Coast Guard to carry more than twenty-five passengers | $100,000 |
| Vessels registered by the State or documented by the United States Coast Guard to carry six passengers or less | $25,000 |
| Vessels certificated by the United States Coast Guard to carry seven to forty-nine passengers | $50,000 |
| For Commercial Fishing Boats | Minimum Gross Receipts |
| Vessels of less than five net volume tons | $6,000 |
| Vessels documented by the United States Coast Guard as commercial fishing vessels with a crew of six or less | $20,000 |
| Vessels documented by the United States Coast Guard as commercial fishing vessels with a crew of more than six | $60,000 |
Failure of a permittee to demonstrate that the permittee's vessel's activities generated these minimum gross receipts during the twelve-month period of the permittee's permit may result in a refusal to renew the revocable permit by the HCDA.
