Section 25543.2.

(a)  A stationary source that intends to modify a facility which may result either in a significant increase in the amount of regulated substances handled by the facility or in a significantly increased risk in handling a regulated substance, as compared to the amount of substances and the amount of risk identified in the facility's RMP relating to the covered process proposed for modification, shall do all the following, prior to operating the modified facility:

(1)  Where reasonably possible, notify the administering agency in writing of the stationary source's intent to modify the facility at least five calendar days before implementing any modifications. As part of the notification process, the stationary source shall consult with the administering agency when determining whether the RMP should be reviewed and revised. Where prenotification is not reasonably possible, the stationary source shall provide written notice to the administering agency no later than 48 hours following the modification.

(2)  Establish procedures to manage the proposed modification, which shall be substantially similar to the procedures specified in Section 1910.119 o pertaining to process safety management, and notify the administering agency that the procedures have been established.

(b)  The stationary source shall revise the appropriate documents, as required pursuant to subdivision (a), expeditiously, but not later than 60 days from the date of the facility modification.
