If the placement request packet is deficient in some respect, TICO must contact the other state’s compact office for additional information or for clarification.

TICO may:

 •   process the ICPC request packet and the DFPS regional office initiates the home screening despite the deficiency, and either call or write the other state’s compact office for the needed information or clarification; or

 •   hold onto the packet for no more than five business days (no more than one business day in the case of an expedited priority request) after contacting the other state’s compact office and after the other state has acknowledged that the state will send the missing information; or

 •   return the packet to the other state’s compact office.
