 (b) the refinery is expected to restart refining FSSP fuel:
 (i) within 60 days after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 50(1)(b) of the Act; or
 (ii) if essential maintenance or capital works need longer than the period in subparagraph (i)—as soon as reasonably practicable after that maintenance or capital works are completed.
