(b) The
				MCHC shall determine the need for intermediate bassinets in accordance with the
				methodology developed by the MCHC and identified in its approved regional perinatal
				and pediatric plan.
(c) The MCHC shall
				project the need for intensive and intermediate bassinets for the next four years as
				follows:
1. For the number of intermediate birth
				weights and very low birth weights, the MCHC shall use the average data reported to
				the Department for the two years prior to the certificate of need
				submission.
2. For the Statewide average
				length of stay per birth weight category, the MCHC shall use the Statewide average
				length of stay determined by the Department most recent to the date of the
				certificate of need submission.
