However, you shall first determine whether the routine change you intend to make amends the information you submitted under s.

(4) PROCEDURES FOR SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

(a) You shall first provide notice of and conduct a public meeting.

1. `Public Meeting.' Hold a meeting with the public to solicit questions from the community and inform the community of your proposed modifications to your hazardous waste management activities. Post a sign-in sheet or otherwise provide a voluntary opportunity for people attending the meeting to provide their names and addresses.
