SECTION 165:27-7-9. The Pre-Approval Program

(a)   The purpose of the Pre-Approval Program is to reduce, if not eliminate, disallowances of reimbursement for costs incurred and associated with corrective action, as well as to foster a spirit of cooperation between the Licensed Environmental Consultant, PSTD and the eligible person.

(b)   Parties are required to use either or both of the two (2) pre-approval processes developed by PSTD. These two (2) procedures are: Purchase Orders and Pay-For-Performance (PFP). These procedures document the agreement that all parties have reached and must comply with.

(c)   An eligible person may opt out of the pre-approval program if they elect, in writing after consultation with the Administrator of the Indemnity Fund, not to participate in the pre-approval program and acknowledges in writing that the eligible person understands that all requests for reimbursement submitted without pre-approval will be subject to non-reimbursement of costs incurred which do not meet the statutory standards for reimbursement set forth in 17 O.S. §327.3 et seq.
