(a) Application of existing general statutory or regulatory waivers
and workflex waivers to National Emergency Grants may be requested by
State and Local Board grantees, and approved by the Department for a
National Emergency Grant award. The application for grant funds must
describe any statutory waivers which the applicant wishes to apply to
the project that the State and Local Board, as applicable, have been
granted under its waiver plan, or that the State has approved for
implementation in the applicable local area under workflex waivers. The
Department considers such requests as part of the overall application
review and decision process.
(b) If, during the operation of the project, the grantee wishes to
apply a waiver not identified in the application, the grantee must
request a modification which includes the provision to be waived, the
operational barrier to be removed and the effect upon the outcome of
the project.
