40 Pa. Code § 5.206 - RAMP certification

(a) After a licensee has completed the prerequisites of RAMP certification as set forth in § 5.205 (relating to RAMP certification prerequisites), the licensee may file an application with the PLCB for RAMP certification. There is no fee for applying for certification or recertification.

(1) If the PLCB finds that the licensee has satisfied the prerequisites, the PLCB will approve the application for certification of the licensee.

(2) RAMP certification is valid for 2 years. The PLCB will issue a notice of certification to the licensee that will advise the licensee of the date that the certification will expire.

(3) The licensee must continually satisfy the certification requirements during that period or certification may be rescinded.

(b) If the PLCB finds that the licensee has not satisfied the prerequisites, the PLCB will deny the application for certification of the licensee.

(1) If the licensee was required to obtain RAMP certification as a result of an adjudicated citation or by the terms of a conditional licensing agreement, but failed to do so, the PLCB will refer the matter to the Pennsylvania State Police, Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement.

(c) The PLCB's certification of a licensee's status as being RAMP compliant shall create a rebuttable presumption that the licensee is RAMP compliant. This is a matter of which official notice may be taken within the context of any proceeding before the Office of Administrative Law Judge or the PLCB.
