875—1.101(17A,91) Scope.
	1.101(1) These rules provide general procedures for waivers and variances from division rules. Specific waiver or variance procedures must be followed when applicable. Except where specific statutory authority is granted, no waiver or variance may be granted from a requirement or duty imposed by statute or when granting a waiver or variance would cause a denial of federal funds or be inconsistent with federal statute or regulation. Any waiver or variance must be consistent with statute. These waiver and variance procedures do not apply to rules that merely define the meaning of a statute or other provision of law unless the division possesses delegated authority to bind the courts with its rules.
	1.101(2) Waivers or variances of rules may be granted either in response to a petition for waiver or variance filed within a contested case proceeding, or in response to a petition filed in the absence of a contested case proceeding.
