Sec.  124.209  What are the requirements for responding to comments?

    (a) At the time you issue a final standardized permit, you must also 
respond to comments received during the public comment period on the 
draft permit. Your response must:
    (1) Specify which additional conditions (i.e., those in the 
supplemental portion), if any, you changed in the final permit, and the 
reasons for the change.
    (2) Briefly describe and respond to all significant comments on the 
facility's ability to meet the general requirements (i.e., those terms 
and conditions in the uniform portion) and on any additional conditions 
necessary to protect human health and the environment raised during the 
public comment period or during the hearing.
    (3) Make the comments and responses accessible to the public.
    (b) You may request additional information from the facility owner 
or operator or inspect the facility if you need additional information 
to adequately respond to significant comments or to make decisions about 
conditions you may need to add to the supplemental portion of the 
standardized permit.
    (c) If you are the Director of an EPA permitting agency, you must 
include in the administrative record for your final permit decision any 
documents cited in the response to comments. If new points are raised or 
new material supplied during the public comment period, you may document 
your response to those matters by adding new materials to the 
administrative record.
