351—4.60(68B) Requests for waiver of penalties.

If a person believes that there are mitigating circumstances that prevented the timely filing of a report, the person may petition to the board for waiver of the penalty. A person seeking a waiver must submit the request to the board within 30 days of receiving a civil penalty assessment order. The board will review the petition and may waive the penalty or deny the request. If a waiver is granted, the board will determine how much of the penalty is waived based on the circumstances.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 68B.32A(8).
