Sec. 971.210  Determination whether application is complete for further processing.

    Upon receipt of an application, the Administrator will review it to

application is complete within 60 days after it is received. The notice 
will identify, if applicable, in what respects the application is not 
complete, and will specify the information which the applicant must 
submit in order to make it complete, why the additional information is 
necessary, and a reasonable date by which the application must be 
completed. Application processing will not begin until the Administrator 
determines that the application is complete.
