Iowa Admin. Code r. 185-19.5 - [Rescinded effective 3/26/2025] Division's responsibilities
(1)
Additional information.
Prior to issuing an order granting or denying a waiver, the division may
request additional information from the petitioner relative to the petition and
surrounding circumstances. If the petition was not filed in a contested case,
the division may, on its own motion or at the petitioner's request, schedule a
telephonic or in-person meeting between the petitioner and the
division.
(2)
Hearing
procedures. The provisions of Iowa Code sections
17A.10
to
17A.18A
regarding contested case hearings shall apply in the following situations:
a. To any petition for a waiver filed within
a contested case;
b. When the
division so provides by rule or order; or
c. When a statute so requires.
(3)
Ruling. An
order granting or denying a 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 upon which the
action is based, and a description of the precise scope and duration of the
waiver if one is issued.
(4)
Conditions. The division shall condition the granting of the
waiver on such reasonable conditions as appropriate to achieve the objectives
of the particular rule in question through alternative means.
(5)
Duration of waiver. A
waiver shall not be permanent unless the petitioner can show that a temporary
waiver would be impracticable. If a temporary waiver is granted, there is no
automatic right to renewal. At the sole discretion of the division, a waiver
may be renewed if the division finds that grounds for a waiver continue to
exist.
(6)
Time for
ruling. The division shall grant or deny a petition for a 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. However, if a petition
is filed in a contested case, the division shall grant or deny the petition no
later than the time at which the final decision in that contested case is
issued.
(7)
When deemed
denied. Failure of the division to grant or deny a petition within the
required time period shall be deemed a denial of that petition by the
division.
(8)
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.
