  hearing  thereon  not  less  than  one  hundred eighty nor more than two
  hundred ten days after such receipt. The place of the hearings shall  be

  rebuttal evidence from residents of the area of the applicant's  primary
  proposed location for the major steam electric generating facility shall
  be held in such area.
2.  On  an  application  for an amendment of a certificate proposing a
  change in the facility likely to result in any material increase in  any
  environmental  impact  of  the  facility  or a substantial change in the
  location of all or a portion of such facility, a hearing shall  be  held
  in  the  same  manner  as  a  hearing  is  held  on an application for a
  certificate. The commission shall  promulgate  rules,  regulations,  and
  standards  under  which it shall determine whether hearings are required
  under this subdivision and shall make such determination.
