Sec.  1309.31  Time for application for registration; expiration date.

    (a) Any person who is required to be registered and who is not so 
registered may apply for registration at any time. No person required to 
be registered shall engage in any activity for which registration is 
required until the application for registration is approved and a 
Certificate of Registration is issued by the Administrator to such 
person.
    (b) Any person who is registered may apply to be reregistered not 
more than 60 days before the expiration date of his registration.
    (c) At the time a person is first registered, that person shall be 
assigned to one of twelve groups, which shall correspond to the months 
of the year. The expiration date of the registrations of all registrants 
within any group will be the last day of the month designated for that 
group. In assigning any of the above persons to a group, the 
Administration may select a group the expiration date of which is less 
than one year from the date such business activity was registered. If 
the person is assigned to a group which has an expiration date less than 
eleven months from the date of which the person is registered, the 
registration shall not expire until one year from that expiration date; 
in all other cases, the registration shall expire on the expiration date 
following the date on which the person is registered.
