				  complete, sign, and submit two copies of the license application to the
				  department as described in this section and ss.
				  NR

				  duty to obtain a license, except that the owner shall also sign the license
				  application.
(3) COMPLETENESS. The
				  department may not issue an operating license before receiving a complete
				  license application and for new facilities, before the owner or operator
				  completes construction in compliance with the approved feasibility and plan of
				  operation report except for emergency licenses. An application for an operating
				  license is complete when the department receives a part A application form, the
				  feasibility and plan of operation report, and any supplemental information
				  which are completed to the department's satisfaction. An application for a
				  license is complete notwithstanding the failure of the owner or operator to
				  submit the exposure information described in sub. (10). The department may deny
				  a license for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit
				  before receiving a complete application for a license.
