If the Authority accepts an application, the Authority must notify the applicant immediately in writing:
that the application has been accepted; and
of the procedure the Authority will adopt in considering the application; and
in the case of an applicant who has applied for the development or variation of a standard and on whom an exclusive capturable commercial benefit would be conferred if the standard were made or varied in the manner sought in the application:
that the applicant must pay the charge under section 146 in relation to the application or, if the charge is payable in instalments, the first instalment of the charge, within 20 business days after the notification is given; and
that the application will be rejected if the charge, or the first instalment of the charge, is not paid within that period; and
in any other case—that the applicant may, if the applicant elects to have the consideration of the application expedited, pay the charge under section 146 in relation to the application or, if the charge is payable in instalments, the first instalment of the charge.
