Section 10370 - Non-Material Amendments to Pending Major Permit Applications(a) An applicant whose application for a major permit is currently pending may submit a request to amend the application nonmaterially at any time prior to the mailing or reading of the staff recommendation on the previously pending application, whichever occurs first.(b) The applicant shall submit the request for a non-material amendment to a permit application by letter that specifies the nature of the amendment and is signed by the applicant or his or her authorized representative. If there are two or more co-applicants, each co-applicant (or co-applicant's representative) shall sign the letter requesting the amendment.(c) After the submittal of a request to amend nonmaterially a pending application for a major permit, the Executive Director shall determine whether or not to file the amended application based on whether the amendment to the application will or will not materially change the application. If the Executive Director concludes that the amendment will materially change the application, he or she shall refuse to file the amended application and shall return it to the applicant with a written statement of the reasons why he or she believes that the amendment would materially change the application and a statement that the applicant must now submit a new application that complies with the filing requirements of Section 10310 for the project as amended to amend the application, and shall continue to process the original application. If the Executive Director determines that the amendment will not materially change the application, he or she shall file the amended application and shall continue to process and the Commission shall act on the amended application in accordance with the Commission's regulations for processing and acting on major permit applications.(d) The filing of a request for a nonmaterial amendment to a pending major permit application shall automatically supersede the original application, and the amended application shall thereafter be the only application considered as pending before the Commission.Cal.
