                Unless the Relevant Regulator has disallowed the variation under section 8.3E, the Reference Tariff will be varied automatically on and from the later of:

            (a)         the date specified in a notice from the Service Provider given in accordance with section 8.3B;

            (b)               (i)         if the Reference Tariff Policy specifies a minimum notice period for the variation, the expiry of that period after the date of the notice form the Service Provider given in accordance with section 8.3B; or

                          (ii)         if the Reference Tariff Policy does not specify a minimum notice period for the variation, 35 days after the date of the notice form the Service Provider given in accordance with section 8.3B,

                but if, before the end of the relevant period in paragraph (i) or (ii) above, the Relevant Regulator notifies the Service Provider that it requires additional information from the Service Provider, which the Relevant Regulator has reason to believe may assist the Relevant Regulator to determine whether the variations proposed are consistent with the Approved Reference Tariff Variation Method, the relevant period will be extended by the number of days commencing on the day on which the Relevant Regulator gave notice to the Service Provider and ending on the day on which the Relevant Regulator receives the additional information from the Service Provider.
