If the certification request involves a modification to an NPDES permit which does not involve application, for which EPA does not intend to issue public notice, the department will require a copy of the proposed modification at least 60 days before any deadline established by EPA for certification action on the modification, or 60 days before the proposed effective date of the modification, whichever is the sooner. All supplementary forms or other information pertaining to the application must be served on the department at the time of their filing with EPA.(b) Within 30 days after receipt of an application for certification, the department will, if necessary, serve notice upon the applicant that additional information is necessary in order for the department to determine whether the discharge will comply with the applicable provisions of 33 U.S.C. 1311, 1312, 1313, 1316, and 1317 (Clean Water Act), secs. 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307, and that the additional information must be served upon the department within 30 days after receipt of the request. If the information is not served upon the department within the time period specified, certification will be denied unless a time extension is approved by the department upon the applicant's showing, to the department's satisfaction, that additional time is necessary to provide the needed information.Eff. 11/25/77, Register 64; am 7/11/2002, Register 163Authority:AS 46.03.020
