(a) in relation to a retailer—the safety management and customer procedures guidelines are amended or replaced while the retailer’s plan is in force, or

(b) in relation to a metering provider—the safety management and technical procedures guidelines are amended or replaced while the metering provider’s plan is in force.

(2) A retailer or metering provider’s plan is terminated if the retailer or metering provider does not submit a revised plan within 10 business days after notice of the requirement to provide a revised plan is given or within a longer period specified by the Secretary in the notice.

(3) Clause 38E(3)–(6) applies to a revised plan submitted under subclause (1) as if it were a proposed plan.
