(B) An applicant shall submit a written request to the department for a waiver or variance. The written request shall state clearly the rationale and need for the requested waiver or variance, and shall provide a comprehensive explanation of how other project underwriting and oversight factors help assure the project's compliance and protect the security of the state funds. Within thirty days of receipt of the written request, the department shall:
(1) Request any additional information or rationale from applicant;
(2) Provide a specific response to the request; or
(3) Provide an estimate to the agency of the timeframe in which the department will be able to provide a specific response to the request.
