                         Subpart B_Applications

 

Sec. 970.213  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 license, 

the applicant must submit an amendment to the application if required by 

a significant change in the circumstances represented in the original 

application and affecting 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, he will provide a copy of 

such 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. 

970.212. Such amendment, however, will not affect the priority of right 

established by the filing of the original application. After the 

issuance of or transfer of a license, any revision by the licensee will 

be made pursuant to Sec. 970.513.
