May I confirm it when it's closer to the time vs May I confirm it when the time is nearer

Both phrases are correct, but 'may I confirm it when it's closer to the time' is used more often and sounds more natural in English. The second phrase, 'may I confirm it when the time is nearer,' is also correct, but it isn't commonly used.
