(7) The requirements of § 806.16 apply to the review of NOIs to any general permit. (8) Upon reissuance or amendment of a general permit, all project sponsors permitted to divert, withdraw or consumptively use water in accordance with the previous general permit shall be permitted to continue to operate with the renewed or modified general permit unless otherwise notified by the Commission. (9) Notice of receipt of NOIs shall be published on the Commission’s Web site and in any other manner that the Commission shall establish for any general permit. (d) Denial of coverage. The Executive Director will deny or revoke coverage under a general permit when one or more of the following conditions exist: (1) The project or project sponsor does not or can no longer meet the criteria for coverage under a general permit. (2) The diversion, withdrawal or consumptive use, individually or in combination with other similar Commission regulated activities, is causing or has the potential to cause adverse impacts to water resources or competing water users. (3) The project does not comport with § 806.21(a) or (b). (4) The project includes other diversions, withdrawals or consumptive uses that require an individual approval and the issuance of both an individual approval and a general permit for the project would constitute an undue administrative burden on the Commission. (5) The Executive Director determines that a project cannot be effectively regulated under a general permit and is more effectively regulated under an individual approval. (e) Requiring an individual approval. If coverage is denied or revoked under paragraph (d) of this section, the project sponsor shall be notified in writing. The notice will include a brief statement for the reasons for the decision.

Timely submission of a complete VerDate Sep<11>2014 11:03 Dec 10, 2015 Jkt 238001 application will result in continuation of coverage of the applicable withdrawal, consumptive use or diversion under the general permit, until the Commission takes final action on the pending individual approval application. (f) Action of the Commission. Action by the Executive Director denying or revoking coverage under a general permit under paragraph (d) of this section, or requiring an individual approval under paragraph (e) of this section, is not a final action of the Commission until the project sponsor submits and the Commission takes final action on an individual approval application. ■ 7.
