Sec. 12.24  Review and updating of plans.

    (a) The emergency action plan must be continually updated to reflect 
any changes in the names or titles of project operators and attendants 
and other personnel with specified responsibilities for actions in an 
emergency and any changes in names of persons to call, telephone 
numbers, radio call signals, or other information critical to providing 
notification to affected persons, Federal, state, and local agencies, 
and medical units.
    (b) An applicant or licensee has continuing responsibility to review 
the adequacy of the emergency action plan in light of any significant 
changes in upstream or downstream circumstances which might affect water 
flows or the location or extent of the areas, persons, or property that 
might be harmed in a project emergency.
    (c) Promptly after an applicant or licensee learns of any change in 
circumstances described in paragraph (b) of this section, the applicant 
or licensee must:
    (1) Inform the Regional Engineer of that change in circumstances;
    (2) Consult and cooperate with appropriate Federal, state, and local 
agencies responsible for public health and safety to determine any 
advisable revisions to the emergency action plan; and
    (3) File with the Regional Engineer three copies of any revisions to 
the appropriate studies, maps, plans, procedures, or other information 
in the emergency action plan itself or its appendices that have changed 
as a result of that consultation.
    (d) An applicant or licensee must conduct a comprehensive review of 
the adequacy of the emergency action plan at least once each year.
