(2) notify the applicant by first class mail of this action.

(b) Absence of Court decision.

If the Court does not render a decision within 10 days of the permit denial, the applicant may proceed as if a permit had been granted, subject to:

(1) the same restrictions and obligations that apply to permits issued under this subtitle; and

(2) immediate termination of all electronic amplification if the Court later affirms the Commissioner's denial.

(c) Appeal of decision.
