Upon the SHPDA's receipt of an application, a preliminary review shall be made to determine whether additional information is needed to conduct a complete and reasonable review.
SHPDA shall, whenever possible, rely on the application submitted to the federal funding agency for all information necessary to judge an application in relation to the general review criteria specified in § 407 and any specific review criteria which may be adopted. However, because of the varying nature of the information requested by federal funding agencies, it may be necessary for the SHDPA to request additional information concerning the criteria directly from the applicant.
The SHPDA may also request additional information to clarify unclear or incomplete information contained in the application.
In the case of competing applications, SHPDA shall attempt to have comparable information from all applicants.
If additional information is desired, the information necessary shall be specified in a letter within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the application. The requested information shall be submitted to the SHPDA in the form and manner prescribed and published by the SHPDA. Unless otherwise prescribed and published, the information shall be submitted in letter form. No SHPDA application forms shall be required.
Applicants shall reply to the request for additional information within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the letter.
Requests for additional information shall not extend the review period specified in § 418.
Failure to comply with requests for additional information or established time frames specified in §§ 415.1 and 415.2 may result in an incomplete review and possible subsequent disapproval of an application.
