				  request for a declaratory ruling at the time the rule was issued;
(3) where there has been a similar

				  context being raised for a declaratory ruling was specifically considered upon

				  state or federal court in North Carolina.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) An "operator"
				  shall mean the persons or corporate entity entitled to the use or occupancy of
				  a project. Where all or virtually all of the stock in one corporate entity is
				  owned (either directly or indirectly) by another corporation (i.e., a
				  relationship commonly known as a "parent--wholly-owned subsidiary") and where
				  final management control rests with the parent, "operator" shall be construed
				  so as to include the total corporate responsibility implied by such a
				  relationship. Such presumption may be rebutted where the department finds clear
				  and convincing evidence of the independence of the subsidiary from the
				  parent.
(b) If the initial proposed
				  operator of a project is not expected to be the operator for the term of the
				  bonds proposed to be issued, the Secretary may make the findings required
				  pursuant to Rules .0303 and .0307 of this Subchapter only with respect to the
				  initial operator identified in the application for approval of the project.
				  When the current operator discontinues serving as operator, and arrangements
				  have been made by the obligor for a new operator, the new operator shall be
				  subject to the approval of the Secretary pursuant to Rules .0303 and .0307 of
				  this Subchapter.
(c) If an operator
				  subsequently seeks to sell, to lease, or to sublease the project to a
				  non-affiliated person(s) or entity, the operator must give written notice to
				  the Department of Commerce including information prescribed by the secretary.
				  This information shall include details of the proposed transaction, as well as
				  name, address, NAICS code, and financial status of the non-affiliated person(s)
				  or entity.
