The department's disapproval letter shall be issued within 30 days of the receipt of the application and shall state the reasons why the department denied the application.

The certificate shall include the taxpayer's contact information, taxpayer identification number, system certification number and the net amount of biomass eligible for the tax credit.

D. If the department denies the application, the applicant shall have 15 days from the date of denial to petition the department secretary for reconsideration. If no petition is received, the denial shall be considered final on the 15^th day. If a petition for reconsideration is received, it shall contain a statement of reasons the secretary should reconsider the application and any additional or updated material necessary to support that petition. The secretary shall have 15 days to reconsider and approve the amended application, set the matter for an examiner hearing or deny the application. If the secretary has not acted within 15 days of receipt of the petition for reconsideration, the denial of the original application shall be considered final.
