(b) The MCHC shall determine the need for intermediate bassinets in accordance with the methodology developed by the MCHC and identified in its approved regional perinatal and pediatric plan.
(c) The MCHC shall project the need for intensive and intermediate bassinets for the next four years as follows:
1. For the number of intermediate birth weights and very low birth weights, the MCHC shall use the average data reported to the Department for the two years prior to the certificate of need submission.
2. For the Statewide average length of stay per birth weight category, the MCHC shall use the Statewide average length of stay determined by the Department most recent to the date of the certificate of need submission.
