Such a letter may be issued if a subcontractor or independent contractor: (1) Is delinquent in the payment of premiums due on the project; (2) Has left the State; (3) Is uncooperative in a required audit of his records; (4) Is principally located out of State and an audit is required; (5) Is delinquent in his submission of his records relating to his payroll; (6) Has closed his account with the insurer and premiums are due; (7) Has failed to submit required information to the insurer; (8) Is protesting the results of a required audit; (9) Elected not to insure himself; or (10) Has committed any other action which, in the opinion of the insurer, may result in his failure to pay all premiums due. 3.

Where the employer, as provided in chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS, has given notice of an election to accept the terms of those chapters, and the employee has not given notice of an election to reject the terms of those chapters, the employer shall provide and secure, and the employee shall accept, compensation in the manner provided in those chapters for all personal injuries sustained arising out of and in the course of the employment. 2. Every employer electing to be governed by the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS, before becoming entitled to receive the benefits of those chapters, must comply with all conditions and provisions of those chapters during the period of his election. 3. Failure on the part of any employer to provide industrial insurance as required by the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS operates as a rejection of the terms of those chapters. If an employer rejects those chapters, or any of their terms, the employer shall post a notice of rejection of the terms of those chapters upon his premises in a conspicuous place. The employer at all times shall maintain the notice or notices so provided for the information of his employees.

Otherwise the payroll reports and premium payments on earnings of lessees described in this section are governed by the requirements of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS regarding employees engaged at a regular wage. 2. If such a lessee files with the Administrator and the insurer an acceptance of the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS and, if applicable, pays the premiums in advance upon the estimated earnings of himself and any workmen he may employ, the lessor is relieved of this obligation.

The cost of the physical examination must be paid by the sole proprietor. 3. A sole proprietor who elects to submit to the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS shall pay to the private carrier premiums in such manner and amounts as may be prescribed by the regulations of the Commissioner. 4.
