N.M. Admin. Code § 20.7.4.23 - TEMPORARY CERTIFICATION
A. If, after reasonable time and effort by an owner, a qualified operator cannot be employed, the system or facility may apply for temporary certification for the operator of a system or facility. In support of the application, the system or facility shall submit documentation demonstrating that it cannot employ a qualified operator and a schedule of compliance that includes the actions the system or facility will take to employ a certified operator, the date by which the system or facility will employ a certified operator, and a contingency plan that outlines the actions to be taken if the system's or facility's schedule fails to result in the employment of a certified operator.
B. A temporary certificate may be issued to an individual for a period not to exceed six months.
C. A temporary certificate may be extended to a maximum of 18 months if the operator is involved in a training program that will qualify the operator for the required level in that period.
D. An extension to the six-month temporary certification will require prior approval of a training program to ensure coverage of areas that are specific to the system, facility or individual's knowledge and skills.
