MA Rule 8:

In accordance with the provisions of M.G.L. c. 143 § 3L, the permit application form to provide written notice of installation of wiring shall be uniform throughout the Commonwealth, and applications shall be filed on the prescribed form. Electronic transmittals of this form shall be permitted when done in accordance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (M.G.L. c. 110G). After a permit application has been accepted by an Inspector of Wires appointed pursuant to M.G.L c. 166 §32, an electrical permit shall be issued to the person, firm or corporation stated on the permit application. Such entity shall be responsible for the notification of completion of the work as required in MGL 143 §3L.

Permits shall be limited as to the time of ongoing construction activity, and may be deemed by the Inspector of Wires abandoned and invalid if he or she has determined that the authorized work has not commenced or has not progressed during the preceding 12-month period. Upon written application, an extension of time for completion of work shall be permitted for reasonable cause. A permit shall be terminated upon the written request of either the owner or the installing entity stated on the permit application.
