§ 1951.569 - Exception authority.

The Administrator may in individual cases make an exception to any requirement or provision of this subpart which is not inconsistent with the authorizing statute or other applicable law if the Administrator determines that application of the requirement or provision would adversely effect the Government's interest. The Administrator will exercise this authority only at the request of the State Director and on the recommendation of the appropriate Program Assistant Administrator. Requests for exceptions must be made in writing by the State Director and supported with documentation to explain the adverse effect on the Government's interest, propose alternative courses of action, and show how the adverse effect will be eliminated or minimized if the exception is granted.
