(d) In any request for additional information, the Administrator shall include a deadline for the project proponent to respond.

(1) The project proponent shall comply with the deadline established by the Administrator.

(2) The deadline must allow sufficient time for the Administrator to review the additional information and to act on the certification request within the reasonable period of time.
