74  Secretary may direct operator to revise ship security plan
 (1) If:
 (a) a ship security plan for a regulated Australian ship (the existing plan) is in force; and
 (b) the Secretary is no longer satisfied that the existing plan adequately addresses the relevant requirements under Division 4:
 (i) because there is a change in the circumstances that relate to maritime transport, or offshore facility, security; or
 (ii) because there is a change in circumstances that could impact on maritime transport, or offshore facility, security; or
 (iii) for some other reason;
the Secretary may, by written notice given to the ship operator for the ship, direct the ship operator to give the Secretary another plan for the ship (the revised plan).
 (2) The notice must specify the period within which the revised plan must be given.
 (2A) If the ship operator gives the Secretary the revised plan within the specified period, or within any further period allowed by the Secretary, sections 70 and 71 apply in relation to the revised plan.
 (3) If the ship operator does not give the Secretary the revised plan within the specified period, or within any further period allowed by the Secretary, the Secretary must, by written notice given to the ship operator, cancel the approval of the existing plan.
 (4) If the revised plan comes into force, it replaces any other plan for the ship in force at that time.
