(b) If it is a hardship for an employer to submit an RPPR electronically, the employer may request approval from the Department to submit the RPPR in paper form. The Department shall approve such a request provided that:

1. The request is submitted no later than March 1 of the submittal year;

2. The employer explains:

i. The grounds for the hardship that electronic submittal would impose; and

ii. The effort(s) the employer will make to ensure the facility's ability to make electronic submittals in the future; and

3. The employer makes every effort to become able to submit the form electronically in future years.

(c) The Department shall approve, on a case-by-case basis, an extension of a reporting deadline if a facility is unable to electronically file its RPPR due to a malfunction in the Department's electronic reporting system. The Department shall not approve any extension due to a malfunction in a facility's electronic information technology system, unless the facility verifies the malfunction in writing and promptly files the report by other means.
