(1) A determination under section 8: (a) must specify the period, under subsection (2), during which the determination is to be in force; and (b) may include a statement to the effect that the determination is an interim determination; and (c) subject to subsection (3), must include the same terms and conditions as the original determination to which it relates. (2) The period referred to in paragraph (1)(a) is: (a) if the policy statements made by the Minister under section 11 set out how the period is to be fixed—the period as so fixed; or (b) in any other case: (i) if the determination is an interim determination—3 years; or (ii) if the determination is not an interim determination—5 years. (3) In including terms and conditions in the determination, the Commission may make such changes (if any) to the terms and conditions included in the original determination (including adding or deleting terms and conditions) as it is satisfied are warranted because of changes in circumstances since the original determination was made.
