                         Subpart B_Applications
 
Sec. 971.213  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 permit, 
the applicant must submit an amendment to the application if there is a 
significant change in the circumstances represented in the original 
application which affects 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, the Administrator will 
provide a copy of that 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. 971.212. After the issuance or transfer of a permit, 
any revision of the permit will be made pursuant to Sec. 971.413. Any 
amendment or modification which would cause coastal zone effects 
substantially different than those originally reviewed by the state 
agency would be subject to Federal consistency review as prescribed in 
15 CFR part 930.
