Section 165:70-3-6 - Waiver of requirements

(a) At the time the utility files a Notice of Intent, as required by 165:70-3-7, or any time until the application is filed, the utility may request a waiver of compliance with any or all of the requirements of this Chapter, by submitting a written request for waiver to the Director. The Director shall advise the utility that the waiver is granted or denied, within ten (10) days of the request for waiver. If the Director fails to act within ten (10) days, the requested waiver shall be deemed granted. If the Director determines that the request is not reasonable, the request for waiver shall be denied by the Director. The utility may appeal the denial of a waiver to the Commission en banc. If the Commission en banc has not ruled upon the waiver within fifteen (15) days from the date the appeal is filed, the requested waiver shall be deemed granted.

(b) The utility requesting the waiver or appealing the Director's denial of a waiver shall identify the requirements sought to be waived and state the reasonable cause for the waiver.

(c) If the utility appeals a denial of a waiver to the Commission en banc, which is subsequently denied by the Commission, the Commission en banc shall establish the time frame for providing the required information, after considering the arguments of the utility and Staff.

(d) The granting of a waiver pursuant to this Section shall not preclude any party from seeking the information which was the subject of the waiver, by data request.
