Paragraph 4 Time limitsI1

The time limits for which this Part of this Schedule provides are subject to the provisions of this paragraph.

The undertaker shall submit the detailed submission programme to the Authority for comment.

If, by reason of the number or complexity of the submissions anticipated in the detailed submission programme, the Authority (acting reasonably) is of the view that it could not, while continuing to perform its statutory functions without interruption, comply with any time limit for which this Part of the Schedule provides, the Authority will notify the undertaker in writing within 15 business days of receiving the detailed submission programme.

A notice given under paragraph 4(3) shall include the Authority’s reasonable estimate of the time required for it to deal with the submission or submissions identified pursuant to paragraph 4(3), such an estimate not to exceed 65 business days from the anticipated date of receipt of the relevant submission as identified in the detailed submission programme, and the Authority shall thereafter determine such a submission within the estimate included in its notice given pursuant to this paragraph.
