Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-46-107 - Procedures for Processing Applications

A. To comply with A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 6, Article 7.1, the following time-frames are established for processing applications for registration, licensure, certification, and designation, including renewal applications, and applications for course approval:

1. The Department shall notify the applicant within 60 days after receipt of the application that it is either administratively complete or incomplete. If the application is incomplete, the Department shall specify in the notice what information is missing.

2. A final decision shall be rendered not later than 60 days after the applicant successfully completes all requirements in statute or this Chapter.

3. The overall time-frame for action is 120 days, 60 days for administrative completeness review and 60 days for substantive review.

B. An applicant whose application is incomplete shall supply the missing information within 60 days after the date of the notice unless the time-frame is extended by mutual agreement. The administrative completeness review time-frame stops running on the date of the Department's written notice of an incomplete application and resumes when the Department receives a complete application. If the applicant fails to submit a complete application within the specified time limit, the Department may reject the application and close the file. An applicant may reapply.

C. If the Director denies registration, licensure, certification, designation, or course approval to an applicant, the Department shall send the applicant written notice explaining:

1. The reason for denial, with citations to supporting statutes or rules,

2. The applicant's right to seek a hearing to appeal the denial, and

3. The time for appealing the denial.
