(A) Completeness review time restriction.
Within sixty days after the director or the director's agent or
				authorized representative receives an application for the issuance of a permit
				to install or PTIO pursuant to rules adopted under division (F) of section
				3704.03 of the Revised Code, or
				an application to modify such a permit, the director shall determine whether
				the application is substantially complete or materially deficient and shall
				notify the applicant, in writing, of the determination. If the director fails
				to make such a completeness determination and provide written notice of the
				determination to the applicant within sixty days after the application was
				submitted, the applicant may submit a written request to the director for the
				making of such a completeness determination.
(B) Request for completeness determination.
Within thirty days after receiving a written request for the
				making of a completeness determination on an application under paragraph (A) of
				this rule, the director shall determine whether the application is
				substantially complete or materially deficient and, in writing, notify the
				applicant of the determination. If the director fails to make a completeness
				determination and provide written notice of the determination to the applicant
				within thirty days after receiving the applicant's written request for the
				making of the determination, the application shall be deemed to have been
				complete in all material respects at the time that the application was
				submitted to the director or the director's agent or authorized
				representative.
(C)
			 Materially deficient applications.
If, within the time prescribed in paragraph (A) and, if
				applicable, paragraph (B) of this rule, the director or the director's agent or
				authorized representative determines that an application is materially
				deficient, the director shall return the application to the applicant. The
				running of the time prescribed under paragraph (A) of this rule and, if
				applicable, paragraph (B) of this rule ceases at the time that the
				determination is made. If the applicant subsequently resubmits the application
				to the director, the time prescribed in paragraph (A) of this rule and, if
				applicable, paragraph (B) of this rule shall resume running at the time that
				the application is resubmitted. The resubmission of the application constitutes
				a request for the making of a completeness determination on the application.
				The director shall do one of the following within the time remaining pursuant
				to paragraph (A) and, if applicable, paragraph (B) of this rule at the time
				that the application is resubmitted:
(1) Make a completeness determination on the
			 application and, in writing, notify the applicant of the
			 determination;
(2) Issue or deny or
			 propose to issue or propose to deny the permit or modification.
