 (1) If the Authority completes a final assessment under section 27 in relation to a standard or variation, the Authority must, within 14 days after the completion of the final assessment:
 (a) decide to re‑affirm the standard or variation; or
 (b) decide to prepare a proposal under section 12AA for the development of:
 (i) a variation, or further variation, of the standard; or
 (ii) a replacement standard;
and give the Council:
 (c) written notification of the terms of the Authority's decision; and
 (d) the Authority's reasons for making that decision.

Note 1: The Board must not delegate its powers to act on behalf of the Authority under this subsection—see section 67.

Note 2: Section 28D deals with the consequences of a decision under paragraph (b).

 (2) If the Authority decides to re‑affirm the standard or variation, the Authority must also give the Council:

 (b) a statement analysing those submissions; and
 (c) a Regulation Impact Statement.

 (3) The things mentioned in paragraphs (1)(d) and (2)(a), (b) and (c) may be set out in the same document.

 (4) If the Authority has notified the Council under subsection 28(1) that the Authority has made a decision under paragraph 28(1)(a) to re‑affirm a standard or variation of a standard, the Council may direct the Authority to give the Council such information as the Council reasonably requires for the purpose of assisting the Council to make a decision about the standard or variation under section 28A, 28B or 28C.
