        135.72  AUTHORITY TO ADOPT RULES.
         The department shall adopt, with approval of the council, such
      administrative rules as are necessary to enable it to implement this
      division. These rules shall include:
         1.  Additional procedures and criteria for review of applications
      for certificates of need.
         2.  Uniform procedures for variations in application of criteria
      specified by section 135.64 for use in formal review of applications
      for certificates of need, when such variations are appropriate to the
      purpose of a particular review or to the type of institutional health
      service proposed in the application being reviewed.
         3.  Uniform procedures for summary reviews conducted under section
      135.67.
         4.  Criteria for determining when it is not feasible to complete
      formal review of an application for a certificate of need within the
      time limits specified in section 135.69.  The rules adopted under
      this subsection shall include criteria for determining whether an
      application proposes introduction of technologically innovative
      equipment, and if so, procedures to be followed in reviewing the
      application.  However, a rule adopted under this subsection shall not
      permit a deferral of more than sixty days beyond the time when a
      decision is required under section 135.69, unless both the applicant
      and the department agree to a longer deferment.
