If, after reviewing the results of the assessment phase, the DAA deems the discrepancies to be significant, but there is an overarching necessity to allow the PCI and its facilities to operate, an interim authorization to operate (IATO) may be issued. An interim authorization to operate is rendered when the identified deficiencies in the PCI and its facilities are significant, but can be addressed in a timely manner. These deficiencies must be documented so that they can be addressed during the planning of corrective actions. An interim authorization is an authorization to operate under specific terms and conditions. The DAA shall indicate exactly which facilities are included in the IATO accreditation decision during this interim period, along with any limitations or restrictions imposed. The maximum duration of an IATO is three (3) months. A maximum of two (2) consecutive IATOs may be granted for a PCI. Failure to correct deficiencies found in the PCI after the expiration of the second IATO must result in an issuance of a denial of authorization to operate (DATO) for the PCI. The accreditation boundary may be revised to exclude PCI Facilities that exhibit significant deficiencies in performing their functions.
A PCI is not considered accredited during the period of an IATO. When the deficiencies have been corrected, the IATO should be replaced with an ATO. Significant changes in the status of the PCI (e.g. addition of new facilities) that occur during the IATO period shall be reported immediately to the DAA.
