Division 3                  Amendment of approval for
                            transitional environmental
                            programs

344      Application
        (1)   Division 2 (other than section 335(1)) applies, with all
              necessary changes, to a submission by the holder of an
              approval for a transitional environmental program for an
              environmentally relevant activity to amend the approval.
        (2)   Without limiting subsection (1), if the holder submits for
              approval an amendment of the approval that extends the
              period over which the program is to be carried out to longer
              than 5 years, section 335(2) and (3) applies to the submission
              as if the submission were for the approval of a draft
              transitional environmental program.
        (3)   Also, the administering authority may approve the
              amendment only if it is reasonably satisfied it will not result in
              increased environmental harm being caused by the carrying
              out of the activity under the amended approval than the
              environmental harm that would be caused by carrying out the
              activity if the approval were not granted.
        (4)   Without limiting the matters to be considered in deciding the
              application, the administering authority must have regard to—
              (a)    the period under the original approval; and
