Section 295.303 - Review Timeframes(a) The review timeframes in this section only apply to applications which are determined to be administratively complete when submitted. If the application is not administratively complete, the application will not be considered for expedited processing under this section.(b) Applications shall be reviewed by the staff for administrative completeness within 10 working days of receipt of the application by the executive director.(c) After an application is determined by the executive director to be administratively complete, the executive director shall commence a technical review as necessary and appropriate. For purposes of this subchapter, the technical review period is that period of time beginning with the completion of the initial review period and will continue for a period of time not to exceed 60 working days, except as extended pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.(d) The applicant shall be promptly notified of any additional technical material necessary for a complete review. If the applicant provides the information within the technical review period prescribed by subsection (c) of this section, the executive director will complete processing of the application within the technical review period extended by the number of days taken by the applicant to provide the additional data. If the necessary additional information is not received by the executive director prior to expiration of the original technical review period and the information is considered essential by the executive director to make recommendations to the commission on a particular matter, the executive director may return the application to the applicant. In no event, however, will the applicant have less than 30 days to provide the technical data before an application is returned. And, in no event shall the executive director have less than 60 working days, exclusive of any time spent waiting for submission of additional information, to complete the technical review. Decisions to return the application to the applicant during the technical review stage will be made on a case-by-case basis. The applicant has the option of having the question of sufficiency of necessary technical data referred to the commission for a decision instead of having the application returned.30 Tex. Admin.
