Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Definition.
For purposes
				of this rule, "a waiver" means action by the board that suspends, in whole or
				in part, the requirements or provisions of a rule as applied to an identified
				person on the basis of the particular circumstances of that person.
(2)
Scope of rule.
This rule
				outlines generally applicable standards and a uniform process for the granting
				of an individual waiver from a rule adopted by the board in situations where no
				other more specifically applicable law provides for a waiver. To the extent
				another more specific provision of law governs the issuance of a waiver from a
				particular rule, the more specific provision shall supersede this rule with
				respect to any waiver from that rule.
(3)
Applicability of rule.
The board may grant a waiver from a rule only if the board has jurisdiction
				over the rule and the requested waiver is consistent with applicable statutes,
				constitutional provisions, or other provisions of law. The board may not waive
				requirements created or duties imposed by statute.
(4)
Criteria for waiver.
In
				response to a petition, the board may in its sole discretion issue an order
				waiving in whole or in part the requirements of a rule if the board finds,
				based on clear and convincing evidence, all of the following:
a. The application of the rule would impose
				an undue hardship on the person for whom the waiver is requested;
b. The waiver from the requirements of the
				rule in the specific case would not prejudice the substantial legal rights of
				any person;
c. The provisions of
				the rule subject to the petition for a waiver are not specifically mandated by
				statute or another provision of law; and
d. Substantially equal protection of public
				health, safety, and welfare will be afforded by a means other than that
				prescribed in the particular rule for which the waiver is requested.

(1) The board
				of dental examiners shall not issue a declaratory order where prohibited by
				1998 Iowa Acts, chapter 1202, section 13(1), and may refuse to issue a
				declaratory order on some or all questions raised for the following reasons:

				with the required form.
2. The
				petition does not contain facts sufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner
				will be aggrieved or adversely affected by the failure of the board of dental
				examiners to issue an order.
3. The
				board of dental examiners does not have jurisdiction over the questions
				presented in the petition.
4. The
				questions presented by the petition are also presented in a current rule
				making, contested case, or other agency or judicial proceeding, that may
				definitively resolve them.
5. The
				questions presented by the petition would more properly be resolved in a
				different type of proceeding or by another body with jurisdiction over the
				matter.
6. The facts or questions
				presented in the petition are unclear, overbroad, insufficient, or otherwise
				inappropriate as a basis upon which to issue an order.
7. There is no need to issue an order because
				the questions raised in the petition have been settled due to a change in
				circumstances.

				not based upon facts calculated to aid in the planning of future conduct but
				is, instead, based solely upon prior conduct in an effort to establish the
				effect of that conduct or to challenge an agency decision already
				made.
9. The petition requests a
				declaratory order that would necessarily determine the legal rights, duties, or
				responsibilities of other persons who have not joined in the petition,
				intervened separately, or filed a similar petition and whose position on the
				questions presented may fairly be presumed to be adverse to that of
				petitioner.
10. The petitioner
				requests the board of dental examiners to determine whether a statute is
				unconstitutional on its face.

				  a final order issued in a contested case proceeding. It is binding on the board
				  of dental examiners, the petitioner, and any intervenors (who consent to be
				  bound) and is applicable only in circumstances where the relevant facts and the
				  law involved are indistinguishable from those on which the order was based. As
				  to all other persons, a declaratory order serves only as precedent and is not
				  binding on the board of dental examiners. The issuance of a declaratory order
				  constitutes final agency action on the petition.
