Sec. 21.19  Waiver of rules.



    Waivers of these rules may be granted upon application or on the 

Commission's own motion. A request for waiver shall contain a statement 

of reasons sufficient to justify a waiver. A waiver will not be granted 

except upon an affirmative showing that:

    (a) The underlying purpose of the rule will not be served, or would 

be frustrated, by its application in the particular case, and that grant 

of the waiver is otherwise in the public interest; or

    (b) The unique facts and circumstances of a particular case render 

application of the rule inequitable, unduly burdensome or otherwise 

contrary to the public interest. Applicants must also show the lack of a 

reasonable alternative.
