        Subpart C_Establishment and Modification of Zone Projects
 
Sec.  400.26  Application for expansion or other modification to zone project.

    (a) In general. (1) A grantee may apply to the Board for authority 
to expand or otherwise modify its zone project.
    (2) The Executive Secretary, in consultation with the Port Director, 
will determine whether the proposed modification involves a major change 
in the zone plan and is thus subject to paragraph (b) of this section, 
or is minor and subject to paragraph (c) of this section. In making this 
determination the Executive Secretary will consider the extent to which 
the proposed modification would:
    (i) Substantially modify the plan originally approved by the Board; 
or
    (ii) Expand the physical dimensions of the approved zone area as 
related to the scope of operations envisioned in the original plan.
    (b) Major modification to zone project. An application for a major 
modification to an approved zone project shall be submitted in 
accordance with the format in Sec.  400.24, except that:
    (1) Reference may be made to current information in an application 
from the same applicant on file with the Board; and
    (2) The content of Exhibit Four shall relate specifically to the 
proposed change.
    (c) Minor modification to zone project. Other applications or 
requests under this subpart, including those for minor revisions of zone 
boundaries, grant of authority transfers, or time extensions, shall be 
submitted in letter form with information and documentation necessary 
for analysis, as determined by the Executive Secretary, who shall 
determine whether the proposed change is a minor one subject to this 
paragraph (c) instead of paragraph (b) of this section (see, Sec.  
400.27(f)).
    (d) Applications for other revisions to grants of authority. 
Applications or requests for revisions to grants of authority, such as 
restriction modifications, shall be submitted in letter form with 
information and documentation necessary for analysis, as determined by 
the Executive Secretary. If the change involves removal or significant 
modification of a restriction included by the Board in a grant of 
authority, the review procedures of Sec.  400.32 shall apply. If not, 
the procedure set forth in Sec.  400.27(f) shall apply.
