* § 880. Comprehensive permit information. 1. Not later than ninety
days from the effective date of this article each state agency required
to review, approve or grant permits for business undertakings, projects,
and activities shall report to the office in a form prescribed by the
office on each and every type of such review, approval, and permit
administered by the state agency. Application forms, applicable agency
rules, and the estimated time period necessary for permit application
consideration based on experience and statutory or regulatory
requirements shall accompany each state agency report.

2. Each state agency required to review, approve or grant permits for
business undertakings, projects, and activities shall subsequent to its
report pursuant to subdivision one of this section provide the office
with a report of any new permit or modification of any existing permit,
together with applicable forms, rules, and information required under
subdivisions one and two of this section regarding such new or modified
permit. No new or modified permit shall become effective until thirty
days after the office has been provided with such report, provided,
however, that the thirty day period may be dispensed with for any new or
modified permit adopted as an emergency measure in accordance with the
provisions of the state administrative procedure act. When any new or
modified permit is adopted as an emergency action in accordance with the
provisions of the state administrative procedure act, the office shall
be notified of such action by the adopting state agency within five days
after the effective date of such action.

3. The office shall prepare an information file on state agency permit
requirements upon receipt of the state agency reports and shall develop
methods for its maintenance, revision, updating, and ready access.

4. The office shall provide comprehensive permit information on the
basis of the foregoing. The office may prepare and distribute
publications, guides, and other materials based upon the state agency
reports and the information file which will serve the convenience of
permit applicants and which will explain permit requirements affecting
business, including requirements having multiple permit or multiple
state agency aspects.
