(3) The form contains materially inaccurate information and the applicant is not responsive to clarifying questions.

(b) Effective period.--

(1) The department may not require renewal of a certificate of compliance issued under this subchapter.

(2) An applicant for a certificate of compliance who, prior to the effective date of this section, operated a highly automated vehicle in accordance with automated vehicle testing guidance established by the department prior to the effective date of this section may continue to operate the highly automated vehicle without a certificate of compliance on highways pending the review of a self-certification form if the following criteria are met:

(i) The applicant has submitted a self-certification form for a certificate of compliance to the department.

(ii) The department has not denied the self-certification form.

(iii) The department has not issued a notice, in writing, to the applicant prohibiting continued HAV operation while the department reviews the self-certification form.

(iv) The highly automated vehicle is operated in accordance with this subchapter.
