Section 2199.3.1 - Review of Applications(a) The Insurance Department shall review any submitted application to determine whether or not the application complies with applicable procedural requirements and whether or not the manual contents or the use thereof would be inconsistent with the Insurance Code or would result in activities and practices by insurers that are unfair, unreasonable or otherwise inconsistent with the Insurance Code.(b) Within fifteen days of receipt by the Department, applications which do not meet the requirements of sections 2199.2.6 and 2199.2.7 may be rejected.

In the case of a rejection, the Commissioner shall notify the applicant in writing of the reason(s) for the rejection. Acceptance of an application is not a determination that the application complies with all requirements and shall not constitute a waiver of any requirements.(c) The Commissioner may allow or require an applicant to modify, supplement, or amend an application.(d) A rejection shall be effective on the date it is served.Cal.
