The existing certification(s) must not be a Permit for Temporary Operations.
(c) If the additional service locations will provide services not covered by the organization's existing certifications, the organization must first obtain a Permit for Temporary Operations for the applicable services.
(d) Approval for additional service locations specified in (b) above may be granted by the Commissioner or designee upon submission of the following required documentation to ODMHSAS:
