N.M. Admin. Code § 1.12.6.17 - EXEMPTION

A. An agency may request exemption from an ACR. Exemptions shall be granted only if complying with an ACR would:

(1) result in a significant increase in agency costs;

(2) decrease the security of agency operations;

(3) compromise essential service attributes critical to agency success; or

(4) result in inadequate resource levels.

B. An agency shall file a written request for exemption with the IAS which proposed the ACR. The request shall state the grounds on which the request is based and shall include any information available to support the request. The IAS shall respond to the request within thirty (30) days.

C. Agencies may file a written request for review of an adverse IAS decision with the CIO. The CIO shall review the IAS decision but shall only consider information presented to IAS, unless new information becomes available that was not available at the time the agency submitted its request for exemption to the IAS. The CIO shall make a final decision within fifteen (15) days.
