Sec. 72.82  Fast-track modifications.

    The following procedures shall apply to all fast-track 
modifications.
    (a) If the Administrator is the permitting authority, the designated 
representative shall serve a copy of the fast-track modification on the 
Administrator and any person entitled to a written notice under 
Sec. 72.65(b)(1)(ii) and (iii). If a State is the permitting authority, 
the designated representative shall serve such a copy on the 
Administrator, the permitting authority, and any person entitled to 
receive a written notice of a draft permit under the approved State 
operating permit program. Within 5 business days of serving such copies, 
the designated representative shall also give public notice by 
publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the 
sources are located or in a State publication designed to give general 
public notice.
    (b) The public shall have a period of 30 days, commencing on the 
date of publication of the notice, to comment on the fast-track 
modification. Comments shall be submitted in writing to the permitting 
authority and to the designated representative.

    (c) The designated representative shall submit the fast-track 
modification to the permitting authority on or before commencement of 
the public comment period.
    (d) Within 30 days of the close of the public comment period if the 
Administrator is the permitting authority or within 90 days of the close 
of the public comment period if a State is the permitting authority, the 
permitting authority shall consider the fast-track modification and the 
comments received and approve, in whole or in part or with changes or 
conditions as appropriate, or disapprove the modification. A fast-track 
modification shall be subject to the same provisions for review by the 
Administrator and affected States as are applicable to a permit 
modification under Sec. 72.81.
