Each application for a CON shall be assigned to a staff member of the Health Planning and Resource Development Division for analysis and review. The applications will be reviewed in compliance with the State Health Plan and the criteria contained in Chapter 8 of this manual. A written summary of the staff analysis and recommendation with respect to approval or disapproval shall be prepared. The staff analysis shall be made available online on the Department's website and shall be sent by United States Mail, postage pre-paid, to the applicant and to those who have filed a written request for the specific staff analysis in response to the notice to affected persons. If the staff is recommending disapproval, the applicant shall be allowed five (5) calendar days in which to provide additional material on its own application only for further analysis that may resolve the basis of the staff's recommendation of disapproval. Applicants will be notified of the deadline for the receipt for additional material. Any additional material presented by an applicant, not requested by the Department, and any additional material submitted by the applicant subsequent to the fifth (5th) calendar day following the publication of a staff analysis recommending disapproval of the application shall not be considered at any time during the course of review.
NOTE: A one-time submission of new information in response to a negative staff analysis shall be submitted by the applicant only. No additional submissions will be accepted from the public.
Additional information shall be submitted directly to the Division of Health Planning and Resource Development.
The staff analysis and recommendation on any application on which a hearing during the course of review has been granted shall be prepared from information contained in the application at the time the hearing is requested, except for reports previously requested from other affected state agencies and information requested by Department staff. The staff analysis and recommendation shall be available online on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the receipt of a complete application.
