| (a) Proposed project changes during review. The Applicant
must notify the executive administrator if during the environmental
review process, the Applicant:
(1) changes its plans for the project as originally
submitted; or
(2) changes its schedule for the project from the originally
submitted schedule.
(b) Alterations of proposed project. Any alteration
to a project after the issuance of an environmental finding requires
the Applicant to notify the executive administrator in writing in
a timely manner. The Applicant shall briefly describe the reasons
for the alterations in the proposed project.
(c) The executive administrator shall examine the contract
documents, application, and other related documents to evaluate the
proposed alterations to ensure consistency with the environmental
finding. The executive administrator's review of proposed project
alterations may result in:
(1) a notation to the file that the proposed alterations
are minor in nature as described in subsection (d) of this section;
(2) the issuance of a SOF to confirm that project alterations
are within the scope of the original environmental finding and do
not require preparation of a new EID;
(3) the issuance of a FONSI when a CE has been revoked,
or the issuance of a public notice that the preparation of an EIS
will be required;
(4) the issuance of an amendment to a FONSI, or the
revocation of a FONSI and the issuance of a public notice that the
preparation of an EIS will be required; or
(5) the issuance of a supplement to a ROD, or the revocation
of the ROD and issuance a public notice that financial assistance
for the proposed project will not be provided.
(d) Minor changes to the proposed or reviewed project
that do not create previously unconsidered adverse environmental impacts
usually will not affect the ability of the proposed project alterations
to proceed without additional formal environmental review.
(e) Major changes to the proposed or reviewed project
that are previously unexamined and that have the potential to create
adverse environmental impacts may result in a decision to revoke a
CE or a FONSI and to proceed with a more detailed level of environmental
review consistent with this subchapter.
