7. a. Within 30 days after the submission of an amended application pursuant to this act, the approving board shall advise the applicant in writing whether the amended application is complete, with completeness to be determined based upon whether the applicant has submitted documentation addressing the issues described in section 4 of P.L.2009, c.82 (C. 45:22A-46.6). If no such writing asserting incompleteness for any such reason is provided to the applicant within the 30-day period, the application shall be deemed complete for purposes of review by the approving board.

b. The approving board shall render a decision on an application for a converted development within 60 days of a determination of application completeness, unless the time frame is extended by the applicant. If no such decision is rendered by the approving board within the time period, including extensions, the application shall be deemed approved and the applicant shall in such a case follow the procedures set forth in section 5 of P.L.1985, c.516 (C. 40:55D-10.4).

c. Applicants seeking approval for a converted development pursuant to P.L.2009, c.82 (C. 45:22A-46.3 et seq.) shall not be charged application fees, although reasonable escrow fees may be charged pursuant to section 13 of P.L.1991, c.256 (C. 40:55D-53.2).
