(a) The review timeframes in this section only apply
to applications which are determined to be administratively complete
when submitted. If the application is not administratively complete,
the application will not be considered for expedited processing under
this section.
(b) Applications shall be reviewed by the staff for
administrative completeness within 10 working days of receipt of the
application by the executive director.
(c) After an application is determined by the executive
director to be administratively complete, the executive director shall
commence a technical review as necessary and appropriate. For purposes
of this subchapter, the technical review period is that period of
time beginning with the completion of the initial review period and
will continue for a period of time not to exceed 60 working days,
except as extended pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.
(d) The applicant shall be promptly notified of any
additional technical material necessary for a complete review. If
the applicant provides the information within the technical review
period prescribed by subsection (c) of this section, the executive
director will complete processing of the application within the technical
review period extended by the number of days taken by the applicant
to provide the additional data. If the necessary additional information
is not received by the executive director prior to expiration of the
original technical review period and the information is considered
essential by the executive director to make recommendations to the
commission on a particular matter, the executive director may return
the application to the applicant. In no event, however, will the applicant
have less than 30 days to provide the technical data before an application
is returned. And, in no event shall the executive director have less
than 60 working days, exclusive of any time spent waiting for submission
of additional information, to complete the technical review. Decisions
to return the application to the applicant during the technical review
stage will be made on a case-by-case basis. The applicant has the
option of having the question of sufficiency of necessary technical
data referred to the commission for a decision instead of having the
application returned.
