The Regional Administrator has received notice of a proposed permit transfer.
An interested person requests in writing that a permit be modified, and the Regional Administrator determines that cause for modification exists.
Cause exists for termination under § 147.2928, but the Regional Administrator determines that permit modification is appropriate.

Minor modifications consist of:
Requiring more frequent monitoring or reporting;
Changing ownership or operational control (see § 147.2926, Permit Transfers); or
Changing quantities or types of injected fluids, provided:
The facility can operate within conditions of permit;
The facility classification would not change.
Modification procedures.
A draft permit shall be prepared with proposed modifications.
