553 Alteration
(1) If the regulator is not satisfied that a safety case outline provided by
the operator of a determined major hazard facility will lead to the
development of a safety case that complies with regulation 561, the
regulator may require the operator to alter the outline.
(2) If the regulator proposes to require an operator to alter a safety
case outline, the regulator must give the operator a written notice:
(a) informing the operator of the proposed requirement and the
reasons for it; and
(b) advising the operator that the operator may make a
submission to the regulator in relation to the proposed
requirement; and
(c) specifying the date (being not less than 28 days) by which the
submission must be made.
(3) The regulator must:
proposed requirement to alter a safety case outline – consider
that submission; and
(b) whether or not the operator has made a submission – decide
whether or not to require the operator to alter the outline; and
(c) within 14 days after deciding, give the operator written notice
of the decision, including details of the alteration required and
the reasons why it is required.
