(b) the variation is consistent with the Board’s findings (if any) in force under this Part in relation to the R&D entity; and
(c) making the variation is justified in accordance with the decision‑making principles.
> Note 1: A decision not to vary is reviewable (see Division 5).

(2) An application for a variation must be:
(a) in the approved form; and
(b) accompanied by the fee (if any) specified in regulations made under section 48A for the purposes of this section.
> Note: Section 32 deals with approved forms.
(3) Section 27E applies to an application under this section in a way corresponding to the way that section applies to an application under section 27D.
> Note: This means the Board may request further information about the application for variation.
