(a)  An "administrative permit amendment" means a permit revision that:

(3)           requires more frequent monitoring or reporting by the permittee;

(4)           changes test dates or construction dates provided that no applicable requirements are violated by the change in test dates or construction dates;

(5)           removes designation of State-enforceable only from terms and conditions provided that the terms and conditions have become federally enforceable through Section 110, 111, or 112 or other parts of the federal Clean Air Act;

(6)           changes the permit number without changing any portion of the permit that would not otherwise qualify as an administrative amendment; or

(7)           removes references and non-applicable permit requirements for equipment that has been permanently removed from service.

(1)           shall take final action on a request for an administrative permit amendment within 60 days after receiving such request;

(2)           may make administrative amendments without providing notice to the public or any affected states pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q .0521(a), provided he or she designates any such permit revision as having been made pursuant to this Rule; and
