More and more of our clients "In Good Standing" are very concerned with the lack of processing of their Appendix G/SSHR as their annual renewal is coming up at the county, state, or both levels of licensure.
MCP Participates in good standing have no idea who their Planner assigned is or their status of the SSHQ/Appendix G. Please see the following:
1. AG_ 2019-0462 submitted Appendix G/SSHR and Air Quality 2/4/21 - processing has not been completed in one year.
2. AG_2017-0493 submitted Appendix G/SSHR and Air Quality 1/28/21 - processing has not been completed in over a year
3. AG_2017-0128 submitted Appendix G/SSHR and Air Quality 8/9/21 - processing has not been completed in six months.
4. AG_2017-0046 submitted Appendix G/SSHR and Air Quality 8/24/21 - processing has not been completed in six months
Time is of the essence as participants will be losing their state provisional licenses (some who have had them for several years now) if MCP does not process these long standing submittals with issuance of a letter of approval. That letter of Appendix G/SSHR approval must be submitted to the state and must be provided in a timely manner in order to process their state provisional renewal. These are not the only four awaiting MCP processing.
Phase 3 opening needs to wait until all MCP Participants "In Good Standing" and all Portal Participants have been process and a letter has been issued. If legally Phase 3 must be opened, then all application from Phase 3 need to wait 1 year prior to processing.
