(1) If an application
does not contain the information required in section 6 the CEO may give notice
to the applicant requiring the applicant to provide the information required
to the CEO within 28 days, or such longer period as is specified by the CEO in
the notice.
(2) The applicant may
submit to the CEO statements or evidence of a kind referred to in section 6(3)
at any time after making the application and before it has been determined by
the CEO.
(3) Nothing in
subsection (1) prevents the CEO from considering an application that does not

but the CEO may treat an application as having been withdrawn if the applicant
does not comply with a requirement under subsection (1) to provide
information.
(4) An applicant is
taken to have complied with a requirement under subsection (1) to provide
information if the applicant satisfies the CEO that the applicant is unable to
comply with the requirement.
