#### 21 Acceptance of a revised environment plan (1) Regulations 9AA, 9AB, 9AC, 9A, 10, 10A, 11 and 11A, and regulations 11B and 11C if relevant, apply to the proposed revision as if: (a) a reference in those regulations to the submission, acceptance or non‑acceptance of the environment plan were a reference to the submission, acceptance or non‑acceptance of the proposed revision; and (aa) the reference in regulation 9AA to submission of an environment plan under regulation 9 were a reference to the submission of the proposed revision under regulation 17, 18 or 19; and (b) any other reference in those regulations to the environment plan were a reference to the plan as revised by the proposed revision. > Note: Regulations 9AA, 9AB, 9AC, 9A, 10, 10A, 11 and 11A deal with the consideration and acceptance of an environment plan, and the consultation required with relevant authorities, persons and organisations. Regulations 11B and 11C deal with public comment on a seismic or exploratory drilling environment plan. (2) When acting under regulation 9AB (as applying because of subregulation (1) of this regulation) to publish on the Regulator’s website information relating to the proposed revision, the Regulator must also publish in the same place the reason for the proposed revision. (3) Despite subregulation (1) of this regulation, paragraph 10(1A)(b) and regulations 11B and 11C do not apply because of that subregulation if the proposed revision: (a) is a revision of a seismic or exploratory drilling environment plan; and (b) is submitted under subregulation 17(6). (4) If: (a) regulation 11B applies to the proposed revision (because of subregulation (1) of this regulation); and (b) the titleholder does not comply with paragraph 11B(3)(b) (as so applying); the provisions of the environment plan in force for the activity existing immediately before the proposed revision was submitted remain in force, subject to the Act and these Regulations (particularly Division 2.5), as if the revision had not been proposed.
