(b)   Denial. Any denial of an application shall be in writing and provided to the applicant, along with the reasons that the application was denied. A denial shall also advise the applicant of their right of appeal and of the procedures necessary to exercise those appeal rights.

(c)   Timing. A certificate of verification or a denial will be issued by the Commission to the applicant within (90) days after receipt of an application, unless more time is required. In that case, the Commission shall notify the applicant in writing that additional time is needed.
