1. The Department shall cause the computer to generate an alternate list for tags after the drawing for a hunt is completed. An alternate list must consist solely of each applicant who indicated on his or her electronic application for a tag pursuant to
NAC 502.4175 a desire to be placed on the list. Even if the first person selected for an alternate list has the same drawing number as the last person selected to receive a tag in the drawing, the Department shall accept those selections as final.
2. If the return of tags pursuant to
NAC 502.422 or
502.42695 reduces the number of tags awarded for an area and season to less than the quota for that area and season, the Department shall refill the quota by awarding tags from the alternate list, unless there are fewer than 14 business days remaining until the opening day for that season.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, in awarding tags from an alternate list for a hunt, the Department shall issue the tag to the eligible applicant appearing on the list who:
(a) Has the drawing number with the highest priority; and
(b) Indicated as the applicant’s first choice the area and season for which the quota is being filled.
4. If the Department is unable to collect any fee that is required to be submitted with an application for a hunting license or tag because the method of payment is rejected during the processing of the fee for the license or tag, the Department shall, if more than 14 business days remain until the opening day for the hunt, select an eligible applicant from the alternate list for the hunt and season who:
(a) Has the drawing number with the highest priority; and
(b) Has indicated as his or her first choice the area and season for which the quota is being filled.
5. Eligible applicants will be displayed on the alternate list as individual persons even though they applied for tags as a party in the draw. The order in which such persons are displayed on the alternate list is random and final.
6. The Department shall maintain a record of each applicant selected from an alternate list pursuant to this section.
7. As used in this section, “drawing number” means a number assigned by the computer to an application to denote the priority it will receive in a drawing.
