(a) Where the commission staff determines that it will assist the review of a proposed project or activity, the staff may, prior to determining the completeness of an application, prepare and cause the applicant to publish, in such manner as the staff may reasonably prescribe, a notice of application. The notice of application shall include all of the information required by section 645-5.4(c)(1)-(6) of this Subpart, as is then available to staff.

(b) Immediately upon determining that an application is complete and is for a major project or a minor project where the commission staff determines that public notice is appropriate, the commission shall provide notice to the chief executive officer of the municipality in which the proposed project is to be located, and to any person who has previously expressed in writing interest in receiving such notification. The commission staff shall also publish notice of complete application in the Environmental Notice Bulletin, after providing the notice to the applicant. The notice shall be of the form specified in section 645-5.4(c) of this Subpart.

(c) The commission may require the applicant to provide other reasonable public notice of a complete application and opportunity for public comment. Such notice may include, but is not limited to, the notification of neighboring property owners and/or publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the areas in which the proposed project is to be located.
