(4) On reviewing an application under subsection (3), the Commissioner may—

(a) approve the amended security plan;
(b) by written notice to the responsible person, require the amended security plan to be further amended and resubmitted for the Commissioner’s approval, in such manner and within such time as specified in the notice; or
(c) reject the amended security plan.

(5) If any requirement under subsection (4)(b) is not complied with within the time specified in the notice under that subsection, or such extended time as the Commissioner may give in writing, the application for the approval of the amended security plan is, on the expiry of that time, treated as rejected by the Commissioner under subsection (4)(c).

(6) Where the Commissioner approves the amended security plan under this section (called in this section the current approval), any previous approval of the security plan granted under this section or section 43 is superseded by the current approval.
