(2) If the decision is the decision sought under the application, the deciding authority must give the applicant written notice of the decision.
(3) If the decision is not the decision sought under the application, or the decision includes conditions, the deciding authority must give the applicant an information notice about the decision.
(4) A regulation may prescribe other entities a deciding authority is required to notify of its decision.
(5) To remove any doubt, it is declared that a lawful refusal to accept an invalid application is not a decision about the application.
