Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 665-1-2-.04 - Waiver or Suspension of Rules

The Georgia Technology Authority recognizes the need to exercise reasonable judgment in the administration of the rules of the Authority. A rule or requirement may be waived or suspended upon finding that circumstances warrant such action. Any such suspension or waiver may be done on a case-by-case or solicitation-by-solicitation basis.

(a) Any entity seeking relief from an Authority rule or requirement shall file a request in writing with the executive director of the Authority. At a minimum, the request shall specify the rule or requirement in question and the rationale for the request.

(b) The Executive Director shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Board in the consideration and appropriate dispensation of such requests. The Executive Director shall make a timely report to the Board concerning action taken to suspend an Authority rule or requirement.

1. If an entity's request has an impact upon a state Agency, the entity shall send a copy of the request to the executive officer of the state Agency. The state Agency shall be allowed the opportunity to send a statement to the Authority setting forth its position with respect to the request.

2. The Executive Director may request additional written documentation from the entity and/or the state Agency requesting the waiver.

(c) The Executive Director may defer action on a waiver request until such time as the Board has had a reasonable opportunity to consider the request.
