1. A. Nonapplicability. A standard is not applicable to the operation of an adult place of confinement if sufficient material elements of the standard make the application clearly not relevant. Audit team members shall determine nonapplicability during the audit process.
2. B. Variance. If a standard which applies to the operation of an adult place of confinement is determined to be in noncompliance, but the managing official feels the plan of corrective action inappropriate to facility management, a request for variance shall be made in writing to the Commission for consideration at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
