Reinstatement. Upon receipt of payment of the fee due, together with any interest due, the suspended permit shall be reinstated on the date of receipt, providing no revocation of the permit has been issued prior to that date. (b) Revocation of Permit. If a permittee's failure to pay an annual compliance assurance fee continues for 60 days or more beyond the date on which the fee was due, the Department may revoke the permit; provided, however, that if a permittee's failure to pay an annual compliance assurance fee owed pursuant to M.G.L. c. 21E continues for 60 days or more beyond the date on which the fee was due, the Department may revoke any or all permits that such person has obtained from the Department. The Department shall notify the permittee of the revocation by certified mail or personal delivery to the address listed in the permit or permit application, or by any means provided for service of process.

(a) A permittee who believes that the Department has incorrectly designated the category into which its permit falls for purposes of assessing an annual compliance assurance fee may request a review of that determination by filing a written request with the Department on or before the date of payment specified in the statement of fee. (b) The request shall be filed in the form and manner indicated in the statement of fee, and shall include the following:

1. the permittee's name and address;
2. the permit category and amount of the fee due according to the statement of fee, and date due;
3. the permit category the permittee asserts is appropriate;
4. payment in full of the amount of the fee due for the category the permittee asserts is appropriate; and
5. the reasons the permittee believes the other category is appropriate. (c) The applicable permit category for each permit shall be the category into which the permit is assigned based on the formal status of the permit at the date specified in 310 CMR 4.03(1), unless the permittee had as of that date filed necessary application(s) to modify the relevant permit and taken other necessary action(s) to request a formal change in permit status. If the permittee had filed such application(s) and taken such action(s), the applicable category shall be determined on the merits of such request. The Department shall review the materials submitted by the applicant and the formal record of the permit, and shall issue a written decision determining the permit category. The Department's determination of the appropriate permit category shall not be deemed to give rise to any right to an adjudicatory hearing; provided, however, that the applicant may seek review of any decision on the merits of a pending request to modify the permit in the manner specified for review of permit decisions in the applicable statute or regulations. (d) Effect of Request for Review.
6. Pending the Department's review of a properly filed request for review, the permit shall be deemed in effect. Should the permittee fail to make complete and timely payment of any balance due following the Department's determination, the permit shall be deemed suspended by operation of law.
7. Notwithstanding 310 CMR 4.03(8)(d)1., should a permittee fail to make complete and timely payment of any balance due pursuant to M.G.L. c. 21E, the permit may be suspended in accordance with 310 CMR 4.03(7)(a)2.

In making any such written request, the Department shall specify a reasonable time within which the applicant may provide such additional information, considering the time required to produce the information and the time required to review it within the applicable period for the Department to take action. Such specification of time shall not be deemed to give rise to any right to an adjudicatory hearing. The Department shall not be required to consider in any decision or action, including any adjudication, any additional information submitted by the applicant beyond the limit of time so specified by the Department, unless that additional information is timely submitted in response to a statement identifying deficiencies or another written request from the Department pursuant to 310 CMR 4.04(2)(c).
2. Change in Project. a. Determination of Change. The Department may determine that the applicant has filed a new application whenever additional information provided by the applicant during any Departmental review period, in response to any statement identifying deficiencies in the application or supporting materials, or during any period allowed for public comment, either i. results in a change in the category in which the permit application is classified, or ii. significantly increases or changes the nature of the potential effects of the proposed project or activity on public health and safety or the environment. Upon making a determination that the applicant has filed a new application, the Department shall promptly notify the applicant in writing. The notice shall indicate the basis for the determination and summarize the provisions of 310 CMR 4.04(2)(c)2. relative to such determinations. The determination that a project has changed shall not be grounds for a request for adjudicatory hearing; however, an applicant aggrieved by such a determination may seek review of the determination as an issue in any appeal of the permit decision. b. Effects of Determination on Schedule. i. Immediately upon issuance of the notification, the schedule for timely action shall be suspended. ii. If the determination resulted from a proposed change in design or operation of the proposed project or activity, the applicant may within 45 days withdraw the change and return to its previous proposal by so notifying the Department in writing. If the applicant so notifies the Department, the schedule for timely action shall resume at the point at which it was suspended. iii. If the determination resulted from any other cause, or if the applicant does not elect to withdraw the change, the Department shall begin a review of the new application pursuant to the relevant schedule for timely action. c. Effects of Determination on Fee. Unless the applicant elects to proceed with the previous application in accordance with 310 CMR 4.04(2)(c)2.b.ii., the original application shall be deemed withdrawn, and the fee shall be disposed as provided in 310 CMR 4.04(3)(d); provided, that the Department shall credit any amount to be refunded toward the permit application fee payable for the new permit application unless the applicant requests a refund. (d) Application of Schedule Periods.
3. For the purposes of 310 CMR 4.04(2), an "interim review period" shall mean the period allowed for any administrative completeness review, technical review, or supplemental technical review which may result in an identification of deficiencies or a proposed decision for public comment, or any other period for action by the Department that may not or does not require a final decision to grant or deny the permit. A "final review period" shall mean the period allowed for a technical or public comment review

The final decision shall not be issued to the applicant until the alternative fee has been paid in full. Permit categories identified as Individual Rule Projects require a signed agreement and fee payment before the Department may begin review of the application.

The applicable daily overtime charge rate may be used following a positive Department determination for a public interest expedited review and agreement by the applicant. Effective May 1, 2020
2. Loaded Hourly Rate. The Loaded Hourly Rate shall be based upon the average hourly fully loaded rate for a Full Time Equivalent Department employee as calculated in the current Fiscal Year in effect at the time of the permit application. The applicable hourly overtime charge rate may be used following a positive Department determination for a public interest expedited review and agreement by the applicant. For purposes of 310 CMR 4.05, "technical staff" shall be deemed to include staff in all professional categories, including without limitation engineers, environmental analysts, chemists, biologists, geologist, hydrogeologists, attorneys, and planners. Effective May 1, 2020 (d) Limits on Alternative Schedule and Fee.

(3) Review of Alternative Schedule for Timely Action or Permit Application Fee. (a) General. An applicant aggrieved by the Department's action in establishing a schedule for timely action or a permit application fee pursuant to 310 CMR 4.05 may within ten days of receipt of the alternative schedule for timely action and permit application fee established by the Department notify the Department that it seeks review. Failure to so notify the Department within ten days shall be deemed a waiver of the right to review. The applicant may seek review pursuant to either or both of 310 CMR 4.05(3)(c) and (d). (b) Filing of Notice. An applicant seeking review under 310 CMR 4.05 shall file a written notice in the form and manner specified by the Commissioner. The notice shall include the following:
