				offense;

				qualifications for the class of positions. The director may provide for an
				electronic or other means of evaluating an application. If alternative means of
				application are permitted, the director may convert the various means to a
				common form for purposes of evaluation. The conversion is presumed to be made
				accurately, and a complaint under

				conversion. When the evaluation of an application shows that the requirements
				for qualification are met, the applicant must be admitted to the assessment,
				except as provided in
				2 AAC 07.112.
(b) An appointing authority may request the
				director to approve the evaluation of applications against a specified portion
				of the minimum qualifications for the class of positions. The appointing
				authority may request such an approval when the appointing authority expects
				that some applicants who would meet the minimum qualifications for the class of
				positions would not be able to perform the duties of a specific position. The
				appointing authority shall document the unique or unusual circumstances
				involved in the request. The documentation must be consistent with the position
				description, the specification of the job class, and other factors relating to
				the principles of selection on the basis of merit from among the persons best
				qualified to perform the duties of the position. The director, solely in the
				director's discretion, may approve a request. If approved by the director, the
				specified portion of the minimum qualifications must be identified and applied
				to the position as if they were the minimum qualifications for the job class on
				all subsequent announcements of a vacancy in the position.
