    5         (6) STATE LAND PLANNING AGENCY REVIEW.—
    6         (a) For plan amendments being reviewed under this section,
    7  the state land planning agency shall review a proposed plan
    8  amendment upon request of a regional planning council, affected
    9  person, or local government transmitting the plan amendment. The
   10  request from the regional planning council or affected person
   11  must be received within 30 days after transmittal of the
   12  proposed plan amendment pursuant to subsection (3). A regional
   13  planning council or affected person requesting a review shall do
   14  so by submitting a written request to the agency with a notice
   15  of the request to the local government and any other person who
   16  has requested notice.
   17         (b) For plan amendments being reviewed under this section,
   18  the state land planning agency may review any proposed plan
   19  amendment regardless of whether a request for review has been
   20  made, if the agency gives notice to the local government, and
   21  any other person who has requested notice, of its intention to
   22  conduct such a review within 35 days after receipt of the
   23  complete proposed plan amendment.
   24         (c) The state land planning agency shall establish by rule
   25  a schedule for receipt of comments from the various government
   26  agencies, as well as written public comments, pursuant to
   27  subsection (4). If the state land planning agency elects to
   28  review the amendment or the agency is required to review the
   29  amendment as specified in paragraph (a), the agency shall issue
   30  a report giving its objections, recommendations, and comments
   31  regarding the proposed amendment within 60 days after receipt of
   32  the complete proposed amendment by the state land planning
   33  agency. When a federal, state, or regional agency has
   34  implemented a permitting program, the state land planning agency
   35  shall not require a local government to duplicate or exceed that
   36  permitting program in its comprehensive plan or to implement
   37  such a permitting program in its land development regulations.
   38  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the state land planning
   39  agency in conducting its review of local plans or plan
   40  amendments from making objections, recommendations, and comments
   41  or making compliance determinations regarding densities and
   42  intensities consistent with the provisions of this part. In
   43  preparing its comments, the state land planning agency shall
   44  only base its considerations on written, and not oral, comments,
   45  from any source.
   46         (d) The state land planning agency review shall identify
   47  all written communications with the agency regarding the
   48  proposed plan amendment. If the state land planning agency does
   49  not issue such a review, it shall identify in writing to the
   50  local government all written communications received 30 days
   51  after transmittal. The written identification must include a
   52  list of all documents received or generated by the agency, which
   53  list must be of sufficient specificity to enable the documents
   54  to be identified and copies requested, if desired, and the name
   55  of the person to be contacted to request copies of any
   56  identified document. The list of documents must be made a part
   57  of the public records of the state land planning agency.
