(1) Within 28 days after receiving a request from a person (the applicant ) under regulation 39.006, CASA must give to the applicant a notice setting out:
(a) the steps that CASA proposes to take to investigate whether the ground on which the request is made can be substantiated; and
(b) an estimate of the time likely to be taken by the investigation.
(2) In carrying out the investigation, CASA must consider:
(a) all information provided by the applicant (whether on his or her own initiative or at the request of CASA); and
(b) any other information that CASA reasonably considers to be relevant to the investigation.
(3) If, after carrying out the investigation, CASA is satisfied that the ground for making the request has been substantiated, CASA must revoke or amend the Australian airworthiness directive (as the case requires) so that those aircraft or aeronautical products to which the request relates are not covered by the Australian airworthiness directive.
(4) This regulation does not affect the power that, apart from this regulation, CASA has to revoke or amend an Australian airworthiness directive.
