Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1) Upon receipt of a permit application eligible for the Program, the issuing authority has 20 business days, beginning on the day after receipt of the application, to determine whether the application is complete or incomplete.
(2) Where an applicant receives notice of incompleteness, the applicant shall timely submit the additional information requested. Upon receipt of the supplemental information, the issuing authority has 30 business days, beginning on the day after receipt of the information, to determine whether the application is complete or incomplete.
(3) Where an issuing authority intends to deny a permit application rather than give the applicant an opportunity to complete the application, the issuing authority shall first notify the Permit Ombudsman of its intent to do so.
(4) If the issuing authority fails to notify the applicant about whether the application is complete or incomplete within the original 20 business-days-review-period, or within a subsequent 30 business-days-review-period under 400 CMR 3.06(2), then the application shall be deemed complete for purposes of the commencement of the permit review period. In such a case, the permit review period shall commence on the following calendar day.
