A. The director shall establish by rule provisions to allow changes within a source required to obtain a permit under title V of the clean air act without requiring a permit revision if all of the following conditions are met:

1. The changes do not constitute modifications under title I of the clean air act.

2. The changes do not result in an emission that is greater than the emissions allowed under the permit.

3. The source provides the director with a written notice of the proposed changes at least seven days in advance of the beginning of those changes.

4. The source satisfies other conditions that may be established in the rules adopted pursuant to this section for title V sources. Rules adopted pursuant to this section at a minimum shall conform to those adopted by the administrator pursuant to title V of the clean air act and may prescribe a different time limit for notifications associated with emergency conditions.

B. A permit issued pursuant to section 49-426 may be revised, revoked and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request for a permit revision, revocation and reissuance, or termination or a notification filed pursuant to subsection A of this section does not stay an effective permit condition. The director may require that the applicant provide in writing within a reasonable time any information that the director identifies as necessary for the director to determine if cause exists for revising, revoking and reissuing, or terminating the permit or for determining compliance with permit conditions.

C. The director shall establish by rule procedures related to public and departmental review of changes to a permitted source. For title V sources, these rules at a minimum shall conform to those adopted by the administrator pursuant to title V of the clean air act. For changes to sources that are not required to obtain a permit under title V of the clean air act, the necessity for and level of public and departmental review of a change shall be determined as prescribed by this chapter and the environmental significance of the change.
