HAR §15-36-09. Action on permit plan application

(a) Within ten days of acceptance of a final environmental impact statement, the energy resources coordinator shall accept the permit plan application so long as it is complete and complies with the permit plan format and procedure and other requirements of this chapter. If the permit plan application is accepted, the coordinator shall notify the applicant of such acceptance in writing within said ten-day period. (b) If the permit plan application does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the coordinator shall provide the applicant with a written report of all reasons why the permit plan application is incomplete and unacceptable as soon as possible but in any event not more than ten days from the filing of the permit plan application. In the event a pre- application conference is held, the post conference- report shall satisfy the written report requirement of this section. (c) The applicant shall re-submit a revised permit plan application with additional information addressing the deficiencies identified in the coordinator's written report, and the re-submitted application shall be evaluated for acceptability on the basis of whether it satisfactorily addresses the findings of the coordinator's written report. The evaluation shall occur and a written notice of acceptance or a written report detailing the deficiencies in the application shall be provided to the applicant as soon as possible but in any event not more than ten days from the filing of the revised permit plan application. (d) If the coordinator does not issue a written report explaining why the permit plan application or revised permit plan application is incomplete and unacceptable within the ten-day period, then the permit plan application shall be deemed accepted by the coordinator, subject to final acceptance of the environmental impact statement.
