(e) A copy of the applicable regulations or references to the regulations which describe the facility classification system that correlates with the type and level of certification indicated on the certificate of the applicant;

(f) A brief description of the examination taken for the certification including whether the examination was multiple-choice, essay, true-false, other type of questions or a combination of types, the approximate number of questions and the general topics covered; and

(g) Contact information for the agency that issued the certificate of the applicant.

3. An incomplete application or an application that includes an expired certificate will not be considered. The Division shall review an application for completeness and applicability and shall respond to the applicant not more than 60 days after the receipt of the request with a written decision. If reciprocity is granted, the applicant must pay the fee as required pursuant to NAC 445A.651.
