Section 11.83.246. Waiver of administrative fee.

	(a)  The commissioner may waive an administrative fee under 11 AAC 83.245(h) if a lessee provides sufficient facts to establish a reasonable cause for a delayed or incomplete NPSL report, failure to pay NPSL payments when due, or failure to submit revisions.  
	(b)  A lessee must apply for a waiver of an administrative fee by filing a written statement of facts to establish reasonable cause for noncompliance. The lessee must file the statement with the division not later than 10 days after the division notifies the lessee that an administrative fee is due under 11 AAC 83.245(h).  
	(c)  Circumstances that may constitute reasonable cause are limited to  
		(1) a war, riot, rebellion, act of God, or other disaster that made compliance impossible;  
		(2) acts or omissions by a third party that were beyond the control of the lessee, and that made noncompliance unavoidable;  
		(3) the taking by the lessee, in good faith, of all steps and precautions reasonably necessary to ensure compliance.
