* § 881. Master application procedure. 1. The office shall develop and
implement a master application procedure to expedite the identification
and processing of permits for business undertakings, projects, and
activities. A master application shall be made on a form prescribed by
the office, such form to be designed primarily for the convenience of
applicants confronting requirements for multiple permits from one or
more state agencies, and shall provide for concise and specific
information necessary to a determination of those permits which are or
may be required for the undertaking, project, or activity.

2. Use of the master application procedure shall be at the option of
any person proposing a business undertaking, project or activity. The
office shall assist any person upon request in preparing a master
application, describe the procedures involved, and provide such other
information from the comprehensive permit information file as may be
helpful or necessary.

3. Upon receipt of a master application the office shall immediately
notify in writing each state agency having a possible interest in the
proposed business undertaking, project, or activity with respect to
permits which are or may be required.

4. Each state agency so notified shall respond to the office within
fifteen days of receipt of the notice and shall advise the office
whether one or more permits under its jurisdiction are or may be
required for the business undertaking, project, or activity described in
the master application. The response shall specify the permits which in
the opinion of the agency are or may be required, if any, and shall
indicate the fees to be charged.

5. Any state agency so notified which responds that it does not have
an interest in the permit requirements of the business undertaking,
project, or activity described in the master application, or which does
not respond within the time period specified in subdivision four of this
section, shall not require a permit for the undertaking, project, or
activity described in the master application.

6. The provisions of subdivision five of this section shall not apply
if the master application contained false, misleading or deceptive
information, or failed to include pertinent information, the lack of
which could reasonably lead a state agency to misjudge the applicability
of permits under its jurisdiction, or if new permit requirements or
related standards subsequently became effective for which a state agency
had no discretion in establishing the effective date thereof.

7. The office, following the fifteen day notice and response period,
shall promptly provide the person having submitted a master application
with application forms and related information for all permits specified
by the interested state agencies and shall advise such person:

(a) that all such forms are to be completed and submitted to the
interested state agencies; or, at the option of the applicant,

(b) that the office will receive all such forms as a package with the
fees to be charged, if any, and that the office will immediately
separate and submit such forms and any allocable fees to the interested
state agencies.

8. An applicant may withdraw a master application at any time without
forfeiture of any permit approval applied for or obtained under the
master application procedures contained in this section.
