 3 to read as follows:
 4 The commissioner of transportation shall establish regulations govern-
 5 ing the issuance of highway work permits, including the fees to be
 6 charged therefor, a system of deposits of money or bonds guaranteeing
 7 the performance of the work and requirements of insurance to protect the
 8 interests of the state during performance of the work pursuant to a
 9 highway work permit. With respect to accommodation of fiber optic util-
 10 ities within the state highway right of way, the regulations shall addi-
 11 tionally provide that the department shall issue a written notice of
 12 complete application to an applicant for a highway work permit or use
 13 and occupancy permit within twenty-one days of receipt of the work
 14 permit application. Within such time of submission for an accommodation
 15 of fiber optic utilities, an initial review of the application shall be
 16 conducted and the department shall either make a determination that the
 17 application is complete, or identify any additional information required
 18 to be submitted by the applicant for the application to be considered
 19 complete. With respect to accommodation of fiber optic utilities, the
 20 regulations shall also provide that the department shall: complete the
 21 review of the application and either issue or deny a work permit and/or
 22 use and occupancy permit within forty-five days of issuing the written
 23 notice of complete application; and provide that any application that is
 24 pending for more than forty-five days without a permit being issued

 2 reasoning and basis for the denial. With respect to driveway entrance

 4 character of the development, the traffic which will be generated by the
 5 facility within the reasonably foreseeable future, the design and
 6 frequency of access to the facility, the effect of the facility upon
 7 drainage as related to existing drainage systems, the extent to which
