Notice of Intent. A Notice of Intent outlining the general scope of a planned project requiring a Certificate of Need shall be submitted to the Department as early as possible in the course of planning, but no later than fifteen (15) calendar days before any person files a CON application. A Notice of Intent shall be valid for six (6) months from the date of receipt.
