606 Immediate suspension
(1) The regulator may suspend a major hazard facility licence on a ground referred to in regulation 602 without giving notice under regulation 604 if satisfied that:

(b) a corresponding regulator has suspended an equivalent licence held by the operator under this regulation as applying in the corresponding jurisdiction.
(a) the regulator must give the operator of the major hazard facility written notice of the suspension and the reasons for the suspension; and
(a) give notice under regulation 604 within 14 days after giving the notice under subregulation (2); and
(b) make its decision under regulation 602.
(5) If the regulator gives the notice under regulation 604, the licence remains suspended until the decision is made under regulation 602.
