400.26—Application for expansion or other modification to zone project.

(a) In general. (1) A grantee may apply to the Board for authority to expand or otherwise modify its zone project.
(2) The Executive Secretary, in consultation with the Port Director, will determine whether the proposed modification involves a major change in the zone plan and is thus subject to paragraph (b) of this section, or is minor and subject to paragraph (c) of this section. In making this determination the Executive Secretary will consider the extent to which the proposed modification would:
(i) Substantially modify the plan originally approved by the Board; or
(ii) Expand the physical dimensions of the approved zone area as related to the scope of operations envisioned in the original plan.
(b) Major modification to zone project. An application for a major modification to an approved zone project shall be submitted in accordance with the format in § 400.24, except that:
(1) Reference may be made to current information in an application from the same applicant on file with the Board; and
(2) The content of Exhibit Four shall relate specifically to the proposed change.
(c) Minor modification to zone project. Other applications or requests under this subpart, including those for minor revisions of zone boundaries, grant of authority transfers, or time extensions, shall be submitted in letter form with information and documentation necessary for analysis, as determined by the Executive Secretary, who shall determine whether the proposed change is a minor one subject to this paragraph (c) instead of paragraph (b) of this section (see, § 400.27(f) ).
(d) Applications for other revisions to grants of authority. Applications or requests for revisions to grants of authority, such as restriction modifications, shall be submitted in letter form with information and documentation necessary for analysis, as determined by the Executive Secretary. If the change involves removal or significant modification of a restriction included by the Board in a grant of authority, the review procedures of § 400.32 shall apply. If not, the procedure set forth in § 400.27(f) shall apply.
