(3) Where an operator proposes to omit any content of an accepted safety case which relates to the matters referred to in subsection (2), he or she shall obtain the prior written consent of the Commission.

(4) (a) An operator who makes available a copy of an accepted safety case is entitled to charge the person who requests it a fee in respect of the making available of that copy, provided that the amount charged by the undertaking does not exceed an amount which is reasonable having regard to the cost of making it available.

(b) For the purposes of paragraph (a), the Commission may give an operator such direction as it considers appropriate in relation to what is a reasonable fee.”.
