Within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt, each CON application shall be reviewed by the Department to determine that sufficient information required to conduct a review is contained in the application and that the CON processing fee, if applicable, has been paid. If these criteria are met, an application shall be deemed complete.
Note: A shell application that has numerous deficiencies at the time of original filing shall not be considered as an "incomplete application" in Section 3.6 herein below. A shell application is an application which, at the time of filling, lacks sufficient information to begin processing. The Department will no longer accept shell applications. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt, a shell application will be returned to the submitter, along with the fee. The applicant may resubmit a completed application at any time.
