1. Notice to the filer that the filing is incomplete shall specify the missing item(s) or information. The notice shall advise the filer that a new 20-day time period for the Department's completeness review of the filing starts again upon receipt by the Department of the information intended to cure the deficiency.

2. If the Department requests further information from the filer pursuant to 11:3-16A.5(c), the time frame for the Department's review of the filing is tolled until the information is received.

3. A determination by the Department that a filing is complete relates solely to the inclusion in the filing of the items requested by 11:3-16A.5 and shall not be considered a finding regarding the accuracy or reasonableness of the information or calculations.

(d) The Department shall not approve any filing that does not comply with 17:29A-48 et seq. and 17:29A-36 and this subchapter.
