Except as provided in other sections of this chapter, when a new opportunity or existing opportunity which had previously been licensed to another outfitter becomes available, the Board may use a competitive application process through a waiting list, public notice, or both to select a qualified applicant. A competitive application process may be coordinated with another governmental agency that has management or permitting authority over the opportunity.
01.
Waiting List. The waiting list will be maintained for each individual river, lake and reservoir outlined in Section
259 and for each specific IFGC unit listed in IDAPA
13.01.08, "Rules Governing Taking of Big Game Animals."
02.
Placement on Waiting List. A written request, in a form specified by the Board, must be submitted to be placed on the waiting list, and a name on the waiting list will be maintained for a period of five (5) years or until December 31 of the fifth year that the name is placed on the list, whichever comes first.
03.
Notification. When public notice is used when an opening occurs, a public announcement will be made via the Board's website and may be made in conjunction with notice by another governmental agency. Persons on the waiting list will be notified of the available opportunity in any competitive application process.
04.
Application Period and Consideration. Anyone wishing to apply for the opportunity must submit a complete application or amendment, including all applicable fees, by the date specified in the notice. The Board will consider the qualifications of all applicants and in its discretion select the best qualified applicant.
