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 Executive Director of the
				Board may agree in writing to extend the substantive review and overall
				time-frames by no more than 25% of the overall time-frame.
B. The administrative completeness review
				time-frame begins when the Board receives an application packet or a 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. An applicant or person requesting approval
				whose application packet or request for approval is incomplete, 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 notify the applicant or person requesting approval that the
				application packet or request for approval is complete. The Board shall not
				send a separate notice of completeness if the Board grants or denies a license,
				certificate, 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.
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 close the
				applicant's or person's file. To receive further consideration, an applicant or
				person requesting approval whose file is closed shall re-apply.
I. Within the overall time-frame listed in
				Table 1, the Board shall:
1. Grant a license,
				certificate, 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, certificate,
				or approval if the Board determines that the applicant or person requesting
				approval does not meet all criteria required by statute and this
				Chapter.
