the application is taken to be withdrawn if the request is not complied with within 60 days after the day the request is made.

As soon as practicable after the CEO makes such a request of an applicant, the CEO must give written notice that the decision period for the application is paused to:

for an application to vary a special export permit—the following:

the competent authority of the importing country for the permit;

the competent authority of each transit country (if any) for the waste to which the application relates; or

for an application to vary a special import permit—the competent authority of the exporting country for the permit; or

for an application to vary a special transit permit—the competent authority of the OECD country from which the waste is to be exported.
