If the service plan is conditionally approved, the changes or modifications to be made in, or additional information relating to, the service plan, together with the reasons for the changes, modifications or additional information, shall also be set forth in writing, and the proceeding shall be continued until the changes, modifications or additional information are incorporated in the service plan.
