safety records are normally maintained, is hereby granted a general license to conduct the
activities authorized in such licensing document within this state for a period not in

in such activity; such notification shall indicate the location, period, and type of
proposes possession and use within the state, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the

an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, including but not limited to adverse
impact on the business of the licensee or his customer, he may upon application to the
agency, obtain permission to proceed sooner; the agency may waive the requirement for
filing additional written notifications during the remainder of the calendar year

protect the public; |
