              (b)    if the proposed action was to cancel the environmental
                     authority—either cancel the environmental authority or
                     suspend it for a fixed period.

              decision.
        (3)   If the administering authority at any time decides not to take

              authority holder written notice of the decision.

283      Notice of proposed action decision
        (1)   The administering authority must, within 10 business days

              the decision.
        (2)   If the proposed action decision relates to an environmental
              authority for resource activities, the administering authority
              must also give written notice of the decision to the chief
              executive administering the resource legislation.
        (3)   The decision takes effect on the later of the following—
              (a)    the day the notice is given to the holder;
