2. A new program that has submitted a complete licensure application, its policies and procedures have been reviewed; and a program site tour has been conducted.

(c) A provisional license may be issued to a specific facility address for a period of six months, or until completion of a full site review by the Department. A provisional license may be renewed if needed by the Department.

2. Non-compliant Level II standards identified in the previous licensing review are not remediated by the following triennial review;

3. A remediation plan is not submitted to the Department at the designated time, or if it is determined by the Department to be inadequate; or
