(3) The Chief Officer may refuse to renew approval if the program evaluation required under these rules fails to demonstrate the effectiveness of combining the diagnostic assessment and the treatment functions within a single agency or organization. (4) When a request for approval to operate a demonstration project is denied, a current approval is suspended or revoked, or renewal is denied, notice of the action shall be sent by certified mail and shall include information about contested case hearings.
