Sec. 1311.40  Renewal of CSOS digital certificates.

    (a) A CSOS certificate holder must generate a new key pair and 
obtain a new CSOS digital certificate when the registrant's DEA 
registration expires or whenever the information on which the 
certificate is based changes. This information includes the registered 
name and address, the subscriber's name, and the schedules the 
registrant is authorized to handle. A CSOS certificate will expire on 
the date on which the DEA registration on which the certificate is based 
expires.
    (b) The Certification Authority will notify each CSOS certificate 
holder 45 days in advance of the expiration of the certificate holder's 
CSOS digital certificate.
    (c) If a CSOS certificate holder applies for a renewal before the 
certificate expires, the certificate holder may renew electronically 
twice. For every third renewal, the CSOS certificate holder must submit 
a new application and documentation, as provided in Sec. 1311.25.
    (d) If a CSOS certificate expires before the holder applies for a 
renewal, the certificate holder must submit a new application and 
documentation, as provided in Sec. 1311.25.
