                  TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND FOREIGN TRADE
 
CHAPTER IX--NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT 
                               OF COMMERCE
 
PART 970--DEEP SEABED MINING REGULATIONS FOR EXPLORATION LICENSES--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart B--Applications
 
Sec. 970.213  Amendment to an application.

    After an application has been submitted to the Administrator, but 
before a determination is made on the issuance or transfer of a license, 
the applicant must submit an amendment to the application if required by 
a significant change in the circumstances represented in the original 
application and affecting the requirements of this subpart. Applicants 
should consult with NOAA to determine if changes in circumstances are 
sufficiently significant to require submission of an amendment. The 
application, as amended, would then serve as the basis for 
determinations by the Administrator under this part. For each amendment 
judged by the Administrator to be significant, he will provide a copy of 
such amendment to each other Federal agency and department which 
received a copy of the original application, and also will provide for 
public notice, hearing and comment on the amendment pursuant to 
Sec. 970.212. Such amendment, however, will not affect the priority of 
right established by the filing of the original application. After the 
issuance of or transfer of a license, any revision by the licensee will 
be made pursuant to Sec. 970.513.
