(2) Where a Commissioner is of the opinion that there are special reasons for doing so, he or she may vary an instrument under subsection (1) (including an instrument that has been previously varied under this subsection) by substituting for the period specified in the instrument a shorter or longer period (including a longer period in excess of 3 years).
