How long does this process take?

The amount of time required depends upon the complexity of the request. An even more important factor is how completely the applicant addresses the criteria for approval in 900.18(c) and/or how quickly he or she responds to requests for additional information. It has usually been possible to complete the process in 30 days or less but in cases where the original application was incomplete or there were delays in answering requests for additional information, a considerably longer period of time has been required.
