What the regulator must do on receipt of an occurrence report
276.—(1) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of an occurrence report, the regulator must—
(a)analyse the occurrence report, including comparing that report with any other occurrence reports which the regulator has received, so that any common trends of events described in the occurrence report are identified, and
(b)identify whether the regulator needs to exercise any of its powers contained in the Act or in regulations made under the Act to prevent or mitigate the risk of a spaceflight accident or a major accident from occurring.
(2) The regulator must retain the occurrence report.
