describing the proposed activities and such other information as the
superintendent shall request. The notice shall be accompanied by an
investigation fee as prescribed pursuant to section eighteen-a of this
chapter.

not commence operation or that additional information or time is
required for the superintendent to consider such notice.

contained in section ten of this chapter.
