The applicant has 20 working days after receipt of an incomplete notification or request for additional information to submit the information, unless an extension beyond the 20 working days is approved by the department. The department shall determine the adequacy of the applicant's response to each incomplete item within 20 days after receipt of the response and shall notify the applicant in writing if the application is or is not complete.
