		(1) the applicant is unable to post another form of bond or security satisfactory to the department;  
		(2) repealed 11/10/96;  
		(3) the applicant's equity in the property  
			(A) is at least two times the amount specified in AS 05.15.122(b)(5), as shown in a current, written valuation appraisal from a certified real estate appraiser authorized under AS 08.87,  certifying that the property satisfies the conditions of this subparagraph; in this subparagraph, "valuation appraisal" has the meaning; given in AS 08.87.900; and

	(c)  As used in AS 05.15  and this chapter, a bond or security is "satisfactory to the department" if the bond or security

		(2) will be in effect for two years after the date the operator's license expires; and  
		(3) if a certificate of deposit, is in the name of the state in trust for the applicant and is accompanied by a completed assignment of negotiable instrument form prescribed by the department.  
	(d)  An applicant for an operator's license shall retain a copy of the application for three years after the date that the application is submitted to the department.  
	(e)  An applicant for an operator's license, that is not a municipality, shall accomplish the notice required under AS 05.15.030(a) by submitting one copy of the application described under AS 05.15.122(b) to the city or borough nearest to each location in which the applicant seeks to conduct an activity permitted under AS 05.15. If the applicant proposes activity in an area served by both a city and a borough, the applicant may choose which of the two will receive notice of the application.   
	(f)  If an applicant is a natural person and seeks reinstatement of an operator's license that has been revoked, the applicant must retake the test required by AS 05.15.122(b). If an applicant is a municipality or qualified organization and seeks reinstatement of an operator's license that has been revoked, the applicant must designate a municipal employee or member of the organization to retake the test required by AS 05.15.122(b), if the designated individual has taken the test before, or to take the test, if the designated individual has not taken the test before.
