The Secretary of State may require adjustments to the proposed amendments. The Secretary of State shall in that case consult the requester as well as other relevant stakeholders, including the original applicant for the approval of the innovative technology as an eco-innovation, on the proposed amendments and, where appropriate, take account of the comments received.\n6. The assessment period may be extended by 5 months where the Secretary of State finds that, because of the complexity of the innovative technology and the accompanying amended testing methodology or because of the size and content of the request for amendment, the request cannot be appropriately assessed within the 9 months' assessment period.\nThe Secretary of State shall within 40 days of receipt of the request notify the requester if the assessment period is to be extended.\n7.
