1. (a) The effective period of the PTHP within the meaning of PRC §§ 4590 and 4591 is the five (5) years following the date the PTHP is determined to be in conformance or otherwise becomes effective pursuant to PRC § 4582.7. Timber Operations shall commence no earlier than the expected date of commencement stated in the PTHP and shall be completed no later than the expected date of completion stated in the PTHP except under the following conditions:

   1. (1) An amendment to change the completion date stated in a PTHP has been submitted to the Director at least ten days before the expected date of completion.
   2. (2) An amendment to extend the effective period of a PTHP beyond five (5) years is submitted in compliance with PRC § 4590 which includes a map showing clearly the area pertinent to the request for extension.
2. (b) Upon receipt of such amendment, the Director shall determine whether the change in date constitutes a Substantial Deviation of the PTHP. An extension of time is presumed to be a minor deviation, provided the extension does not lead to practices that constitute a Substantial Deviation, as defined § 1092.26. If the Director determines that such a change of date is a Substantial Deviation, then the PTHP extension shall not be approved.
3. (c) The PTEIR will be effective until such time as substantial changes in conditions occur or significant environmental impacts are identified which are not addressed in the PTEIR. When this occurs the PTEIR may be amended or supplemented to address such new information. Alternatively, PTHP's may be modified to fall within the scope of the PTEIR.
