(4) The Ignition Interlock Program shall notify the participant and the manufacturer by U.S. mail or electronically, if the tolling period has been granted or denied, and, if denied, the reason for the denial.

(5) At the end of any thirty-day toll period, if no new request has been submitted and granted, then the required consecutive day period shall resume with the participant being required to maintain a BAIID for the period of time that was remaining on the day the tolling period began.
