or representative must, upon request, make available to the inspector,
records, notices and other documents required by this chapter.
(f) On completion of the out-of-cycle inspection and
while at the facility, the inspector shall leave with the licensee
or representative a preliminary report on a form approved by the department
listing the items not meeting the requirements of this chapter. The
preliminary report required by this section is in addition to the
completed report required by this chapter and does not affect the
validity of the completed detailed report.
(g) The inspection report will identify violations
that must be corrected by the licensee. The report may also indicate
recommended corrective actions required to address the violations.
Additionally, the department may assess administrative penalties and/or
administrative sanctions for violations identified during the out-of-cycle
inspection.

schedule that have two inspections with no violations or a Tier 2
out-of-cycle inspection schedule that have three inspections with
no violations may be moved to a less frequent out-of-cycle inspection
schedule or returned to a periodic schedule of inspections. The department
will notify the licensee, in writing, if there is a change in the
facility's out-of-cycle schedule or if the facility is returned to
a periodic inspection schedule.
