				will expire one year from the date on the approval letter. If the application
				is not approved, a letter describing the reasons for disapproval shall be sent
				to the applicant. The department may require submission of additional
				information, as needed. If a training provider's application is disapproved,
				the provider may reapply for recognition at any time.

				for additional initial or refresher training courses at any time as long as the
				provider can demonstrate that it meets the minimum requirements of Subsection B
				of this Section.
