Sec.  1607.6  Waiver.

    (a) Upon application, the president shall waive the requirements of 
this part to permit a recipient that was funded under Sec.  222(a)(3) of 
the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and, on July 25, 1974, had a 
majority of persons who were not attorneys on its governing body, to 
continue such nonattorney majority.
    (b) Upon application, the president may waive any of the 
requirements of this part which are not mandated by applicable law if a 
recipient demonstrates that it cannot comply with them because of: (1) 
The nature of the population, legal community or area served; or (2) 
Special circumstances, including but not limited to, conflicting 
requirements of the recipient's other major funding source(s) or State 
law.
    (c) A recipient seeking a waiver under Sec.  1607.6(b)(1) shall 
demonstrate that it has made diligent efforts to comply with the 
requirements of this part.
    (d) As a condition of granting a waiver under Sec.  1607.6(b)(2) of 
any of the requirements imposed upon governing bodies by Sec.  1607.3, 
the president shall require that a recipient have a policy body with a 
membership composed and appointed in the manner prescribed by Sec.  
1607.3. Such policy body shall be subject to the meeting requirements of 
Sec.  1607.4(a) and its attorney members shall be subject to the 
restrictions on compensation contained in Sec.  1607.5. The policy body 
shall have such specific powers and responsibilities as the President 
determines are necessary to enable it to formulate and enforce policy 
with respect to the services provided under the recipient's LSC grant or 
contract.
