    (24) Section 124.3(a)--(Application for a permit);
    (25) Section 124.5 (a), (c), (d), and (f)--(Modification of 
permits);
    (26) Section 124.6 (a), (c), (d), and (e)--(Draft Permit);
    (27) Section 124.8--(Fact sheets);
    (28) Section 124.10 (a)(1)(ii), (a)(1)(iii), (a)(1)(v), (b), (c), 
(d), and (e)--(Public notice);
    (29) Section 124.11--(Public comments and requests for hearings);
    (30) Section 124.12(a)--(Public hearings); and
    (31) Section 124.17 (a) and (c)--(Response to comments).
    (32) Section 144.88--(What are the additional requirements?);
    (b)(1) States need not implement provisions identical to the 
provisions listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(32) of this section. 
Implemented provisions must, however, establish requirements at least as 
stringent as the corresponding listed provisions. While States may 
impose more stringent requirements, they may not make one requirement 
more lenient as a tradeoff for making another requirement more 
stringent; for example, by requiring that public hearings be held prior 
to issuing any permit while reducing the amount of advance notice of 
such a hearing.
    (2) State programs may, if they have adequate legal authority, 
implement any of the provisions of parts 144 and 124. See, for example 
Sec. 144.37(d) (continuation of permits) and Sec. 124.4 (consolidation 
of permit processing).
