Section 417.5 - Dismissal of Variance Applications

If an Employer fails to pursue its variance application after the application is docketed, or causes significant delay in the processing of its application, the Board will provide the Employer with written notice of the Board's intent to dismiss the application. Unless the Employer responds to the notice within 30 days from the date of service, and subsequently assists in the processing of the variance application, the Board may dismiss the application without prejudice.
