§ 4.82 Amendments.
(a) Any permittee may file an application for amendment of its permit, including any extension of the term of
the permit that would not cause the

Each application for amendment of a
permit must conform to any relevant
requirements of § 4.81 (b), (c), (d), and

§ 4.32(d)(2)(i).
(c) If an application to extend the
term of a permit is submitted not less
than 30 days prior to the termination

and conditions of the permit. The Commission may also cancel a permit for
other good cause shown after notice
and opportunity for hearing. Cancellation of a permit will result in loss of
the permittee’s priority of application
for a license for the proposed project.

acceptable application for a license before the permit expires will result in
loss of the permittee’s priority of application for a license for the proposed
