NAC432A.235. Waiver of Board’s regulations.

     1. A person who desires a waiver of all or any part of the Board’s regulations concerning licensing must submit a completed application for the waiver to the Division or other appropriate agency for the licensing of facilities.

     2. An application for a waiver filed with the Board must be submitted to the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting if the waiver is filed 60 days before that meeting. The application must be accompanied by the recommendation of the Division and the appropriate agency for the licensing of facilities.

     3. The Board will grant a waiver if it determines that good cause exists. The Board will not grant a waiver which will threaten public health or safety.

     4. The Board will specify the length of time a waiver is in effect.

     5. A waiver granted by the Board will be revoked before the expiration of the period of the waiver if, after a public hearing, the Board determines that the public health or safety is threatened or the basis upon which the waiver was granted no longer exists.

     6. For the purposes of this section, “good cause” exists when an applicant is unduly burdened by a regulation of the Board and thereby suffers a severe hardship because of circumstances or conditions which are unique to the applicant.
