Chapter 33 - Uniform Rules for Waivers
Rule 495-33.7 - Hearing, Ruling and Timing
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 6, September 18, 2024
The provisions of 495-Chapter 26 shall apply to proceedings under this chapter if the petition for waiver is filed in a contested case proceeding. Prior to issuing an order granting or denying a proposed waiver, the agency shall determine whether or not the facts alleged in the proposed waiver are accurate and complete.
(1) Ruling. An order granting or denying a proposed waiver shall be in writing and shall contain a reference to the particular person and rule or portion thereof to which the order pertains, a statement of the relevant facts and reasons on which that action is based, and a description of the precise scope (including any conditions) and operative period of the waiver, if one is granted.
(2) Timing of ruling. The agency shall grant or deny a petition for waiver as soon as practicable but, in any event, shall do so within 120 days of its receipt, unless the petitioner agrees to a later date or the agency, specifying good cause, extends this time period with respect to a particular petition for an additional 30 days. However, if a petition for waiver has been filed in a contested case proceeding, the agency shall grant or deny the petition no later than the time at which the final decision in that contested case is issued.
(3) When deemed denied. Failure of the agency to grant or deny a petition for waiver within the required time period shall be deemed a denial of that petition by the agency.
(4) Service of order Within seven days of its issuance, any order issued under this chapter shall be transmitted to the petitioner or the person to whom the order pertains and to any other person entitled to such notice by any provision of law.
