sec.28 Amendment of authority on application
An authority holder may apply to the chief inspector for an amendment of the authority. The application must— be made in the approved form; and be made at least 28 days before the holder wants the amendment to take effect; and be accompanied by the fee prescribed under a regulation. However, failure to comply with subsection (2) does not prevent the chief inspector dealing with the application. The chief inspector must decide the application by— amending the authority in the way sought; or refusing to amend the authority. The chief inspector may amend the authority only if the chief inspector is reasonably satisfied the amendment is desirable in the interests of the effective administration of this Act. If the chief inspector decides to amend the authority, the chief inspector must promptly give the authority holder a written notice stating the decision and the amendment. If the chief inspector decides not to amend the authority, the chief inspector must give the authority holder an information notice for the decision. s 28 amd 2009 No. 24 s 487 ; 2019 No. 7 s 44 (sec.28-ssec.1) An authority holder may apply to the chief inspector for an amendment of the authority.
