(b) An application for a license must be submitted on a form provided by the department. Within 30 days after receipt of an application for a license, the department will review the application for completeness. If the application is complete, the department will review the application and issue a license to the applicant if the department determines that the applicant meets the applicable requirements of this chapter.

(2) deny the license; or

(3) issue a provisional license as provided in (d) of this section.

(d) The department will, in the discretion of the commissioner, issue a provisional license to a facility if the facility is temporarily unable to comply with the provisions of this chapter, has made application for a provisional license, and is taking appropriate steps to bring the facility into conformity with those provisions within the time specified by the department. A provisional license will be limited in duration to no more than six months, and will be extended or renewed for periods of no more than six months at a time. A provisional license will designate existing violations of the provisions of this chapter and a schedule within which those provisions must be met. The department will, in its discretion, take action as provided in 7 AAC 12.620 if it discovers other or further violations or if the holder of a provisional license fails to make good-faith efforts to comply with the provisions of its license or this chapter.

Within 30 days after receipt of an application for renewal of a license, the department will review the application for completeness.

If the application is not complete or the licensee no longer meets the applicable requirements of this chapter, the department will

(1) return the application for additional information, as necessary;

(2) deny the renewal; or
