  • Applications will not be processed until application fee is received.
  • During processing, we will contact the applicant if we require additional information. If an applicant has to be asked for additional information after the second submission, reprocessing fees will occur.
  • Commercial entities are not eligible to apply for approval of activities or as a provider unit.
