# §1500.270. Granting of authorization.

- (a) When authorization contemplated by [§ 1500.269](/cfr/16/1500.269.md) is granted, the area office director shall notify the applicant in writing, specifying:
  - (1) **The procedure to be followed—**
  - (2) That the operations are to be carried out under the supervision of an officer of the Consumer Product Safety Commission or the Bureau of Customs, as the case may be;
  - (3) A time limit, reasonable in the light of the circumstances, for completion of the operations; and
  - (4) **Such other conditions as are necessary to maintain adequate supervision and control over the article.**
- (b) Upon receipt of a written request for extension of time to complete such operations, containing reasonable grounds therefor, the area office director may grant such additional time as he deems necessary.
- (c) An authorization may be amended upon a showing of reasonable grounds therefor and the filing of an amended application for authorization with the area office director.
- (d) If ownership of a hazardous substance covered by an authorization changes before the operations specified in the authorization have been completed, the original owner will be held responsible, unless the new owner has executed a bond and obtained a new authorization. Any authorization granted under this section shall supersede and nullify any previously granted authorization with respect to the article.
