The application must be in writing, and must include the date, time, and location of the proposed event and must demonstrate that the event meets the criteria of ARM 12.3.126;

(b) the angler education coordinator will review the application and determine whether the event satisfies the criteria of ARM 12.3.126;

(c) if the coordinator determines the application satisfies the criteria of ARM 12.3.126, written approval of the event will be provided to the applicant; and

(d) if the angler education coordinator determines the event does not meet the criteria of ARM 12.3.126, the coordinator will notify the applicant in writing of that determination.
