(d) Termination of review: For any application which has been called up for review by the Commission pursuant to the provisions of this section, the Executive Director may, at any time, terminate the review of the application if the applicant submits additional information to demonstrate that the local approval does not raise any issues with respect to the conformance of the proposed development with the minimum standards of the Plan. The Executive Director may also, at any time, terminate the review of the application if the local permitting agency whose approval has been called up for review modifies its approval so that the approval no longer raises any issues.
