(a) An inmate interested in participating in a Residential Community Reintegration Program shall complete and sign all sections of Form 68-I Community Program Application and submit it to the Institutional Community Release Program Coordinator for review.

(b) The Institutional Community Reintegration Program Coordinator shall explain to the inmate that:

1. The inmate's signature on Form 686-I merely signifies a willingness to participate in a Residential Community Reintegration Program and does not signify that the inmate has been approved for the Program; and

2. Approval for RCRP participation involves a multi-level approval process and the application must be approved at every level or it will be disapproved.

(c) The Institutional Community Reintegration Program Coordinator, upon receipt of the application from the inmate, shall determine:

1. That Form 686-I is completely and accurately filled out; and

2. That the inmate meets the eligibility criteria established for inmate participation in the residential community program.

(d) If the inmate does not meet the eligibility criteria, the inmate shall be notified of the reason(s), in writing, by the Institutional Community Reintegration Program Coordinator.

(e) If the inmate meets the eligibility criteria, the Institutional Community Reintegration Program Coordinator shall sign and submit Form 686-I Community Program Application to the Institutional Classification Committee (I.C.C.) for initial review and approval or disapproval (see N.J.A.C. 10A:20-4.2(c), 4.4, and 4.5).

(f) State-sentenced inmates in adult county correctional facilities may be reviewed for eligibility by the Director, Office of Community Programs, or designee, without the State-sentenced inmates having to submit an application. These inmates may receive initial approval or disapproval by the Institutional Classification Reception Committee (I.C.R.C.) at an intake facility for participation in a Residential Community Reintegration Program.

(g) The Office of Community Programs shall select the program assignment for the inmate approved by the I.C.C. for participation in a residential community program.
