N.M. Admin. Code § 20.9.3.17

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 17, September 10, 2024

Section 20.9.3.17 - PERMIT APPLICATION REVIEW

A. The applicant shall submit three copies of the initial permit application for approval. Upon receipt of an application for a permit, the department shall review the application to determine if additional information is necessary or shall determine the application administratively complete. The department shall issue a notice of administrative completeness or a notice that additional information is necessary within 120 days after receipt of the application and within 90 days of any subsequent responses to requests for further information. The secretary may extend the time for good cause.

B. In the event the department requests additional information, the applicant shall submit any information requested within 120 days of receipt of the first request, and 90 days of receipt of subsequent requests, or the application may be denied without prejudice. The secretary may extend the response time for good cause, and set up an alternative permit review schedule. When submitting the information in response to a request for additional information, the applicant shall submit three copies. If the permit application is not administratively complete after two requests for additional information, the secretary may deny the permit application without prejudice. This subsection is not intended to limit informal informational exchanges during the permit review period or prior to submission of an application. Denial of a renewal application under this subsection does not automatically terminate the existing permit of a facility.

C. Within 14 days after the application is deemed administratively complete, the applicant shall submit to the department:

(1) six complete new copies of the application; and

(2) an updated list of all property owners as specified in Subsection G of 20.9.3.8 NMAC; the list must be date stamped and signed by the appropriate county agent, or certified as accurate by the applicant as of the date the application is deemed complete.

D. Acceptance of the application as administratively complete allows the permit application to be processed according to the permitting procedures. Acceptance of the application as administratively complete is not an indication that the department supports the permit without conditions or that it will be approved.
