(2) The Department may: (a) Convey the revisions for consideration by the Commission, which may approve them if necessary and appropriate; or (b) At its sole discretion, simply accept revisions, formally authorize them, or send the Commission a report of any such action, if deeming the revisions to be consistent with the original designation, and to be: (A) Merely clarifying or enhancing administrative or technical matters; (B) Changing a substantive criterion or requirement to only a relative degree; or (C) Of a similar nature that does not warrant full Commission review or sanction. (3) Any such revision does not affect Abatement in the SIZ, for which the Department effectively received the Application on or before the effective date of any such change.
