			portion of an operation permit shall be subject to review by the administrator
			in accordance with
			40 CFR
			70.8(c) as applied to permit
			modifications, unless the determination or interpretation is an administrative
			revision approved in accordance with
			40 CFR
			72.83 and sub. (4).
