Sec. 144.41  Minor modifications of permits.

    Upon the consent of the permittee, the Director may modify a permit 
to make the corrections or allowances for changes in the permitted 
activity listed in this section, without following the procedures of 
part 124. Any permit modification not processed as a minor modification 
under this section must be made for cause and with part 124 draft permit 
and public notice as required in Sec. 144.39. Minor modifications may 
only:
    (a) Correct typographical errors;
    (b) Require more frequent monitoring or reporting by the permittee;
    (c) Change an interim compliance date in a schedule of compliance, 
provided the new date is not more than 120 days after the date specified 
in the existing permit and does not interfere with attainment of the 
final compliance date requirement; or
    (d) Allow for a change in ownership or operational control of a 
facility where the Director determines that no other change in the 
permit is necessary, provided that a written agreement containing a 
specific date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and 
liability between the current and new permittees has been submitted to 
the Director.
    (e) Change quantities or types of fluids injected which are within 
the capacity of the facility as permitted and, in the judgment of the 
Director, would not interfere with the operation of the facility or its 
ability to meet conditions described in the permit and would not change 
its classification.
    (f) Change construction requirements approved by the Director 
pursuant to Sec. 144.52(a)(1) (establishing UIC permit conditions), 
provided that any such alteration shall comply with the requirements of 
this part and part 146.
    (g) Amend a plugging and abandonment plan which has been updated 
under Sec. 144.52(a)(6).
