A reviewing agency receiving an application shall provide the
notice required under this section to all other recipient agencies
regarding the pending application within seven days of the receipt

of such notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall be made a
part of the application.
A recipient agency receiving notice of an application under §

Items waiting to be filed or transferred to alternative storage or retrieval systems are to be considered part of the street files to be examined. The recipient agency may, but shall not be required to, examine or transmit materials that are no longer in the street files but have been transferred to microfiche, microfilm or other document retrieval or storage system. Said response transmittal shall be made prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the reviewing agency occurring more than 14 days after the receipt of said notice. The transmitted document(s) shall become part of the file of the reviewing agency for the subject application, and in the event a reviewing agency shall conduct a public hearing on the application, the transmitted documents shall be placed in the record of the public hearing.
