A. For the purpose of A.R.S. §
									41-1073,
				the Board establishes the time frames listed in Table 1. An applicant or a
				person requesting an approval from the Board and the Board's Executive Director
				may agree in writing to extend the substantive review and overall time frames
				by no more than 25 percent of the overall time frame.
B. The administrative completeness review
				time frame begins when the Board receives an application packet or request for
				approval. During the administrative completeness review time frame, the Board
				shall notify the applicant or person requesting approval that the application
				packet or request for approval is either complete or incomplete. If the
				application packet or request for approval is incomplete, the Board shall
				specify in the notice what information is missing.
C. If an applicant or
				person requesting approval receives a notice of incompleteness under subsection
				(B), the applicant or person requesting approval shall submit the missing
				information to the Board within the time to complete listed in Table 1.
Both the administrative completeness review and overall time
				  frames are suspended from the date of the Board's notice under subsection (B)
				  until the Board receives all of the missing information.
D. Upon receipt of all
				missing information, the Board shall send a written notice of administrative
				completeness to the applicant or person requesting approval. The Board shall
				not send a separate notice of completeness if the Board grants or denies a
				license or approval within the administrative completeness time frame listed in
				Table 1.
E. The substantive review time frame listed in Table 1
				begins on the date of the Board's notice of administrative completeness sent
				under subsection (D).
F. If the Board
				determines during the substantive review that additional information is needed,
				the Board shall send the applicant or person requesting approval a
				comprehensive written request for additional information.
G. An applicant or person requesting approval
				who receives a request under subsection (F) shall submit the additional
				information to the Board within the time for response listed in Table 1. Both
				the substantive review and overall time frames are suspended from the date of
				the Board's request until the Board receives the additional
				information.
H. An applicant or
				person requesting approval may receive a 30-day extension of the time provided
				under subsection (C) or (G) by providing written notice to the Board before the
				time expires. If an applicant or person requesting approval fails to submit to
				the Board the missing or additional information within the time provided under
				Table 1 or the time as extended, the Board shall administratively close the
				applicant's or person's file.
I. At any time before
				the overall time frame provided in Table 1 expires, an applicant or person
				requesting approval may, with approval by the Board, withdraw the application
				or request.
J. Within the overall time frame listed in Table 1,
				the Board shall:
1. Grant a license or
				approval if the Board determines that the applicant or person requesting
				approval meets all criteria required by statute and this Chapter; or
2. Deny a license or approval if the Board
				determines that the applicant or person requesting approval does not meet all
				criteria required by statute and this Chapter.
