The Authority shall notify the applicant in writing of its ex parte determination and findings by U.S. Mail, certified return receipt requested or by electronic mail delivery receipt requested.

(1) Set the application for a hearing in accordance with Section 6-6-111 of this Code; or
(2) Request from the Authority, in writing, a continuance of the setting of a hearing in order to satisfy deficiencies stated in the determination and findings, for no more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Authority mailed its determination and findings to the applicant.
