December 8, 1987. The technical review of applications approved under this policy will not be different in substance from permits reviewed in the sequence of submittal. If approved for expedited review, effort will be made, where legal, practical and appropriate, to render a determination by the decision date requested, however, no decision dates can be guaranteed. A tracking system has been established within the Commissioner's Office to prevent abuse of the expediting process and to identify potential permitting problems.

Documentation is the responsibility of the approving authority.
Written determination of expedite requests will be sent to the party requesting the expedited review and all other parties to the Department proceeding in which the request is made. Suitable notification will also be given to the relevant Assistant Commissioner, Division Director and Permit Manager.
