activity that the transitional plan does not apply to (see subregulation 5.10(1))—the new plan would include that well activity; or
 (b) for a circumstance consisting of a significant change to the manner in which risks to the integrity of the well are reduced (see subregulation 5.10(2))—the risk management process to be included in the new plan would allow for that changed manner.

Titleholder must apply for new plan on notification from the Regulator
 (5) A titleholder for a transitional plan for a well must apply under regulation 5.06 for acceptance of a new well operations management plan for the well if the Regulator notifies the titleholder that the titleholder is required to do so.
 (6) Regulations 5.11 and 5.12 apply in relation to a notification under subregulation (5) of this regulation as if it were a notification of a requirement to submit a proposed revision of the transitional plan for the purposes of subregulation 5.11(1).

Criteria for acceptance of new plan—consistency with directions
 (7) If a titleholder is required to apply for acceptance of a new plan under subregulation (2) or (5) because NOPSEMA or the responsible Commonwealth Minister gave the titleholder a direction which is inconsistent with the transitional plan for the well, regulation 5.08 applies in relation to the application as if a criterion for the acceptance of the new plan is that it is consistent with the direction.

Criteria for acceptance of revision to transitional plan
 (8) If the Regulator consents to a titleholder submitting a proposed revision of a transitional plan for the well under paragraph (2)(b), the criteria for acceptance of the proposed revision are:
 (a) despite subregulation 5.15(1), the criteria mentioned in paragraphs 5.08(b) and (d); and
 (b) if applicable to the proposed revision, the criterion mentioned in subregulation 5.15(2).

5.36  When transitional plan ceases to be in force
  A transitional plan for a well ceases to be in force:
 (a) if a new plan is accepted for the well before the end of the transitional 2‑year period—when the new plan comes into force; or
 (b) if an application for acceptance of a new plan for the well is not determined at the end of the transitional 2‑year period:
 (i) when the new plan comes into force; or
 (ii) in a case in which the application is refused—when notice of refusal is given to the titleholder; or
 (c) if the operation of the transitional plan ends under regulation 5.17 before the end of the transitional 2‑year period—when the operation of the transitional plan ends; or
 (d) in any other case—at the end of the transitional 2‑year period.
