Subpart 1. Review.

The board's staff shall review all applications. If the staff determines that the application is incomplete or otherwise deficient, the staff shall promptly advise the applicant of the incompleteness or deficiency. Further processing of the application affected by the deficiency must be suspended until the applicant has supplied the necessary information or otherwise corrected the deficiency. A complete application and the corresponding report of the commissioner of agriculture constitutes the written record. Any supplemental information explaining the application that is presented orally or in writing to the board will also be part of the written record.

Subp. 2. Staff recommendation.

After a reimbursement or payment application is complete and the commissioner has provided the information relevant to the application, the board's staff shall make a recommendation as to the eligibility of the applicant and the costs specified in the application.

Subp. 3. Board determination.

The board shall determine the amount of the reimbursement or payment based on the costs it finds are eligible, actually incurred, and reasonable. The determination must be made on the basis of the written record. The board may also allow supplemental information explaining the application to be presented in writing or orally. The board may establish a fair and reasonable limit on the time for oral presentation.

The applicant must be notified in writing within 30 days of the board's decision. If the board rejects part of the request for reimbursement or payment, a statement of the reasons for rejection must be included with the notification.
