Section 13.11 - Applications received by the Department by January 13, 1978(a) Permit applications which are complete and technically accurate and which were received by the Department by January 13, 1978, will be processed without requiring additional information from the applicant. In these cases, the Department will require compliance with the initial performance standards by May 3, 1978-the date when existing operations shall meet the initial performance standards. Permits issued by the Department under this section on or after February 3, 1978, will contain a condition notifying the permit recipients that, as of February 3, 1978, they are subject to the provisions of 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 1201-1328 and to Federal enforcement action if they fail to meet the initial performance standards published at 42 FR 62639. These permits will also contain a condition requiring that the applicant provide additional information to demonstrate compliance with the initial performance standards by May 3, 1978.(b) A permit application which was received by the Department by January 13, 1978, but which was not complete or technically accurate will be returned to the applicant and treated as if it was received after January 13, 1978. This subsection also applies without limitation to permits denied by the Department but which subsequently may be issued or ordered to be issued on or after February 3, 1978.
