| Review
Process: |
Consists of four phases: |
| |
review initiation phase; document
review phase; on-site review phase; and post-review
phase. In the review initiation phase, the State
submits a request for review and documentation to
Federal staff for review. In the document review
phase, the State and Federal team members plan the
review, draft an agenda, and finalize arrangement
with State staff for the on-site review. The on-site
review is usually conducted over a 4-5 day period.
During the post-review phase the findings and conclusions
are prepared for the final report. |
