Requests for extensions shall be made in writing through the same entity that originally entered the permit application.

(D) Revisions to previously-issued permits may be granted to correct errors or to adjust the permit conditions for circumstances beyond the scope of knowledge of the applicant or the department at the time of permit issuance. Prior to the start of the permitted movement, each request for a revision other than the correction of typographical errors shall be in writing through the same office that originally issued the permit. Following the start of the permitted movement, requests for revisions may be submitted orally where a change in the authorized route is necessitated by road closures, traffic accidents or similar unforeseen circumstances, or where a substitution of an equivalent towing or transporting vehicle is necessitated by mechanical breakdown or other similar circumstance which precludes its use for the completion of the movement. Revisions will not be granted to change the name of permittee, alter the description of the load, change the origin or destination of the movement, or alter a permit that has been violated.
