(2) The Amended STIF Plan must include documentation that the Governing Body approved the Amended STIF Plan prior to its submittal to the Agency.

(4) An Amended STIF Plan submitted under section (1) of this rule may: (a) Neither add any new Projects to the Original STIF Plan nor (b) Modify the description of Projects included in the Original STIF Plan, except that the description may be modified to reflect any changes to the anticipated benefits and discrete measurable outcomes associated with each Project with specific reference to whether the Project advances each of the criteria listed at 732-042-0015(2)(c). (5) The Agency shall review all timely received proposed Amended STIF Plans. The Agency shall submit each completed Amended STIF Plan to PTAC for review and recommendation to the Commission.
