• (a) within 72 hours after the marine occurrence; or

• (b) within an additional period of time granted to the person by the Authority under subsection (4).

(4) The Authority shall grant an additional period of time if the Authority is notified within 72 hours after the marine occurrence that the person is unable to submit the report within those 72 hours because the person was injured in the marine occurrence or because the person is in a remote location that does not have a scheduled transportation service or a communication system that can be used to submit the report.
