The Facility Access Unit shall reply in writing confirming receipt of the construction documents and review fee, appropriateness of the review fee, and acceptance of the construction documents for review.(c) No additional review fee shall be charged upon resubmission of the construction documents, unless the resubmission requires substantial review for accessibility. If the original construction documents are abandoned and the construction documents submitted in lieu thereof are in fact for a new project rather than an identical project, or where a modified set of construction documents is for an essentially different concept, a new review fee shall be paid. This is regardless of the fact that the project may have the same name, be of the same general size, and be situated at the same location as the project for which the original application was made.(d) If the applicant requests the cancellation or withdrawal of the submission and return of the construction documents and review fee, this shall be granted unless the review fee has been processed by the disability and communication access board. No portion of the review fee can be returned after the review fee has been processed by the disability and communication access board. Haw. Code R. § 11-216-15.5
