(a)Each year, within 90 days after the November 1 expiration date of pedicab registration plates, the Commissioner will determine the number of pedicab registration plates that have been issued to licensees. If the number is fewer than 840, the Commissioner will publish in the City Record a notice requesting applications for pedicab registration plates to fill vacancies up to the legal limit of 850.
(b)Applications will not be accepted from any licensees that have already been assigned the legal limit of 30 registration plates.

(d)Only one application for a pedicab registration plate will be accepted from each applicant.
(e)The Commissioner will use the following procedures to assign available pedicab registration plates to applicants in the registration plate application pool: (1) The Commissioner will assign a priority number to each accepted application using a computer generated random number selection program.
(2)If the number of accepted applications exceeds the number of available registration plates, the Commissioner will offer to issue a registration plate to applicants in the order of the priority numbers assigned to the accepted applications.
(3)If the number of accepted applications equals the number of available registration plates, the Commissioner will offer to issue a registration plate to each applicant.
(4)If the number of accepted applications is fewer than the number of available registration plates, the Commissioner will offer one registration plate to each applicant and then offer each remaining plate in the order of the priority numbers assigned until all available registration plates have been offered.
