Handbook Revision, January 3, 2022
Supervisor Review Time Frames and Appendix Resources (PATS 13671)
This update does the following:
- Revises section 6820 of the CCI Handbook to reflect that supervisors have five days, rather than 15, to review a submitted investigation.
- Updates Appendices 6000-1 and 6000-2 to remove regulatory information from investigation time frames.
- Adds Appendix 6000-3 to provide a single resource listing time frames for notifications sent throughout an investigation.
