The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist. Compliance is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance.
