(4) The Division may request additional information from an applicant if the application is incomplete or questions arise about the applicant during the Division's verification process.

(5) The Division may require that an applicant undergo a criminal background check if during the application process the Division learns of issues related to the applicant's history that reasonably raises questions about the ability of the applicant to safely provide emergency health care services. If the Division does require a criminal background check an applicant must sign any necessary authorizations for the criminal background check, provide fingerprints if requested and pay any necessary fees to cover the costs for the background check.

(6) The Division shall notify an applicant, in writing, if they have been accepted as a registrant and if not, why not.

(7) If an applicant has been accepted, the Division shall also provide the registrant information described in OAR 333-003-0118.

(a) Identify the registrant;

(b) Indicate that the registrant is registered as an emergency health care provider;

(c) Identify the license or certification held by the registrant; and

(d) Identify the registrant's usual area of practice if that information is available and the authority determines that it is appropriate to provide that information.

(9) The Division shall require each registrant to update his or her registration information every two years, or when changes occur, and a registrant shall be required to sign a form, prescribed by the Division, that indicates the registrant is willing and able to remain on the Registry.

(10) A registrant identification card shall be renewed and provided to a registrant who fulfills the requirements in section (9) of this rule.

(11) The Division may close the account of a registrant in Registry if the Division:

(a) Is notified or learns that a registrant is not in good standing with his or her licensing board or certifying agency;

(b) Determines that a registrant is not capable of providing emergency health care services;

(c) Determines that a registrant has a personal or criminal history that calls into question the ability of the registrant to safely provide emergency health care services

(d) The registrant requests for account closure; or

(e) Determines that a registrant is not complying with these rules.

(12) A registrant's account that has been closed may be reactivated in the Registry at any time but must include with their request an explanation that describes how the issue that led to closure has been addressed.

(13) The Division may require a registrant to undergo a criminal background check if at any time the Division learns of issues related to the registrant's history that reasonably raises questions about the ability of the applicant to safely provide emergency health care services. If the Division does require a criminal background check a registrant must sign any necessary authorizations for the criminal background check, provide fingerprints if requested and pay any necessary fees to cover the costs for the background check.
