(a) approve the plan and notify the service provider of the approval; or
(b) give the plan back to the service provider with a written request for the service provider to amend the plan to take account of specified matters.
(2) Before making a decision under subsection (1), the Coordinator must take into account:
(a) the desirability of achieving substantial compliance with section 187A (and sections 187BA and 187C) as soon as practicable; and
(b) the extent to which the plan would reduce the regulatory burden imposed on the service provider by this Part; and
(c) if, at the time the application is received, the service provider is contravening section 187A (or section 187BA or 187C) in relation to one or more services covered by the application--the reasons for the contravention; and

a Communications Access Coordinator is taken, at the end of that period of 60 days, to have made the decision that the service provider applied for, and to have notified the service provider accordingly.
(4) A decision that is taken under subsection (3) to have been made in relation to a service provider that applied for the decision has effect only until a Communications Access Coordinator makes, and communicates to the service provider, a decision on the application.
