(1) The energy program may take four different types of actions that may result in a right to an appeal:

(a) Denying a system's precertification or certification;

(b) Revoking a system's precertification or certification;

(c) Denying a manufacturer's statement of a product as qualifying as made in Washington state; and

(d) Revoking a previously approved certification of a product qualifying as made in Washington.

(2) The same appeal procedures apply to all four types of action. All appeals involving the renewable energy system incentive program in this chapter are conducted as formal adjudicative proceedings under RCW 34.05.413 through 34.05.476 and chapter 10-08 WAC.

(3) The notice issued by the energy program provides an explanation of the reasons for the denial or revocation, and advises the recipient about how to appeal the decision if the recipient disagrees.

(4) The energy program's action is final unless the recipient files an appeal petition with the energy program within thirty days of service (receipt) of the notice of the energy program's action. RCW 34.05.010(19) defines "service" and includes service by postal mail, electronic mail, and personal service.
