(2) The Commission may reject or revoke an Application up to 18 months after its approval and before the Abatement has begun, if the Approved Project will or does take place in conjunction with what the Commission deems to be substantial curtailment of employment at operations under the control of the Applicant (including but not limited to another commonly controlled business firm) anywhere in this state.
