Sec. 153.21  Conformity with requirements.

    (a) General Rule. Applications under subparts B and C of this part 
must conform with the requirements of this part.
    (b) Rejection of applications. If an application patently fails to 
comply with applicable statutory requirements or with applicable 
Commission rules, regulations, and orders for which a waiver has not 
been granted, the Director of the Office of Pipeline Regulation may 
reject the application within 10 days of filing as provided by Sec. 
385.2001(b) of this chapter. This rejection is without prejudice to an 
applicant's refiling a complete application. However, an application 
will not be rejected solely on the basis of: Environmental reports that 
are incomplete because the company has not been granted access by the 
affected landowner(s) to perform required surveys, or environmental 
reports that are incomplete, but where the minimum checklist 
requirements of part 380, appendix A of this chapter have been met. An 
application that relates to an operation, service, or construction 
concerning which a prior application has been filed and rejected, shall 
be docketed as a new application. Such new application shall state the 
docket number of the prior rejected application.
