(a) The department will make a decision on a permit
application not later than the 90th day after the date of receipt
of the application. If the decision cannot be made within the 90-day
period, the department will notify the applicant of the delay, provide
the reason for the delay, and provide an estimate for when the decision
will be made.

will notify the applicant of the permit approval and the applicant
must construct the sign at the approved location before the first
anniversary of the date the notice of permit approval is sent.
(c) If a permit application filed under §21.157
of this subchapter (relating to Permit Application for Certain Preexisting
Commercial Signs) is approved, the department will issue a permit
for the sign using the inspection performed under §21.158(d)
of this subchapter (relating to Permit Application Review) to establish
the sign's permitted configuration and permitted location.
(d) If an application is not approved, the department
will send the applicant a notice that states the reason for the denial.
(e) The department's issuance of a permit for a new
location does not exempt the permit holder from the application of
applicable local regulations, including codes, ordinances, or other
law.
