Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025

Section 14:29-1.3 - Exemptions

(a) A person may apply for an exemption from one or more of the requirements of this chapter on the basis of extraordinary hardship or public welfare to the Division of Reliability and Security staff, which shall consult with the Division of Energy.

(b) The exemptions in this section do not apply to the odd/even motor fuel purchase restrictions at N.J.A.C. 14:6, except if an exemption from those restrictions has been applied for under N.J.A.C. 14:29-6 and denied. Procedures for applying for an exemption covering odd/even motor fuel restrictions can be found at N.J.A.C. 14:29-6.

(c) To obtain an exemption based on extraordinary hardship, a person shall submit documentation demonstrating that:

1. Compliance with the requirement for which exemption is requested would subject the person to an unreasonable burden that is disproportionately heavier than the burden placed on others who must comply with this chapter; and

2. The disproportionate burden placed on the person is not caused directly or indirectly by the person's action or omission.

(d) To obtain an exemption based on public welfare, a person shall submit documentation demonstrating that compliance with the requirement from which exemption is requested would result in denial of a public benefit to the community, and/or to the citizens of New Jersey.

(e) An application under this section shall contain, at a minimum:

1. The name, mailing address, e-mail address (if available) and telephone number of the applicant;

2. A citation to the requirement of this chapter from which an exemption is requested;

3. A description of the activity that violates this chapter; and

4. The documentation required at (c) or (d) above, as applicable.

(f) An application under this section shall be submitted by mail to Board staff, at the address in N.J.A.C. 14:29-5.3(d).
