      • This timeframe shall only be used when the department is required to meet external time constraints (e.g., court deadlines, legislative mandates, or the Governor’s executive orders). A justification of such time constraints shall be included in the project submittal. 

      • Emergency regulations are always a Level 1 Priority review. 

    • Level 2 Standard – Two calendar weeks.
