(b) the Authority gives the applicant written notice of that opinion within 6 months after the date the application was received, and that notice specifies the date by which the Authority will decide the application.
(2) For the purposes of subregulation (1)(b), the Authority may only specify a date that is within 12 months after the date it received the application.
