As provided in 35-A M.R.S.A. §3132(11-A), a person may request a waiver from the application of §3132 for amendments to agreements which were previously approved by the Commission under §3132. If the Commission does not act within 30 days to the request for a waiver, the waiver will be considered granted. The request for waiver may pertain to a particular amendment or to a certain category or type of amendment. Requests for waivers must describe the amendment and state the basis for the request.

If the Commission does not respond to a request for a waiver within 30 days, the request shall be considered granted. In the event of a denial of a waiver, the person must file a petition as required in section 3. If the Commission grants a waiver for a category or type of amendment, as distinguished from a particular amendment, the person shall notify the Commission of any amendments which fall within the category in the same manner prescribed for amendment to contracts not previously approved by the Commission under 35-A M.R.S.A. §3132(11-B) and section 4(B) of this rule.B. Contracts not originally subject to approval by the Commission As provided in 35-A M.R.S.A. §3132(11-B), for any amendment, extension or renewal of any contract otherwise subject to this rule, but for which the original contract was not subject to approval by the Commission, the utility shall file a copy of the proposed amendment, extension or renewal with the commission within 7 days of the day when the utility receives notice of the proposal. Commission approval of such amendments, extensions or renewals is not required.
