 (b) if the reviewable decision is a determination under subsection 7(3) or a decision under subsection 7(9), and the person who made the decision gave notices of the determination in accordance with subsection 8(1)—the period of 28 days after the day on which the last of those notices was given; or
 (c) such further period as the person who made the decision allows.
 (2) There shall be set out in the request reasons for making the request.

 (4) Where the decision maker does not confirm, revoke or vary a decision before the expiration of the period of 28 days after the day on which he or she received the request, the decision shall, upon the expiration of that period, be deemed to have been confirmed under subsection (3).
 (5) Where the decision maker confirms, revokes or varies a decision before the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (4), he or she shall, by notice served on the person who made the request, inform the person of the result of the reconsideration of the decision and the reasons for confirming, varying or revoking the decision, as the case may be.
