THIS DOCKET IS
APROVED FOR ONLY 3 MONTHS. THOUGH THE AGENCY HAS PROVIDED A
RATIONALE FOR THEIR THREE-YEAR RETENTION PERIOD REQUEST, THE
ABSENCE OF WHICH PREVIOUSLY PRECLUDED THIS DOCKET'S APPROVAL, IT
HAS FAILED TO DO SO SATISFACTORILY. SPECIFICALLY, THE AGENCY MUST
PROVE THAT STATE-COLLECTED "RELEVANT FACTS NECESSARY TO THE
DETERMINATON" (OF A LOCAL FACILITY'S ELIGIBILITY) EXHIBIT A CERTAIN
DEGREE OF STABILITY SOMEWHAT CONCURRENT WITH THE REQUESTED
RETENTION PERIOD. A THREE-YEAR RETENTION PERIOD NECESARILY IMPLIES
THAT A LOCAL FACILITY'S ELIGIBILITY MIGHT BE RE-DETERMINED ONLY
ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. IF IT IS SATISFACTORILY SHOWN THAT STATES
RE-DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DEEM NECESSARY, OR
THAT THE ELIGIBILITY QUALIFICATIONS OF LOCAL FACILITIES ARE
SUFFICIENTLY STABLE OVER TIME TO ALLOW EFFECTIVE RE-DETERMINATION
BUT ONCE EVERY THREE OR YEARS, THEN LONGER TERM APPROVAL IS MORE
LIKELY.
