(1) An ID Meeting may be held in person, by telephone, or by other electronic means, including video teleconference, as the Department deems appropriate. (2) An Applicant proceeding with filing a land use application or application for environmental review must participate in an ID Meeting and provide any information requested by the Department until such time that the Department has received sufficient information to determine the land use actions necessary to facilitate the proposed project and the type of environmental review that will be required.

If the Applicant is not available within this period, the Department must hold the additional ID Meeting as soon as practicable at a time at which both the Department and the Applicant are available. Within forty-five (45) days of receiving such additional information or holding an additional ID Meeting, the Department must notify the Applicant that it has received sufficient information to determine the land use actions necessary to facilitate the proposed project and the type of environmental review that will be required, or that additional information must be submitted or an additional ID Meeting must be held in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph until such time that the Department may make such a determination.
