been automatically terminated must follow the procedure applicable to 
new applicants for a license set forth in Sec. 2.1.
    (d) Licenses are issued to specific persons for specific premises

to the AC Regional Director. If the license cannot be found, the 
licensee shall provide a written statement so stating to the AC Regional 
Director.
