The Department of Law shall issue such a letter for an offering plan subject to this Part no sooner than 120 days and no later than 180 days after the date of submission of the proposed offering plan. The Department of Law may issue a deficiency letter whenever it appears:
(1) that the department cannot make any finding mandated by law, or (2) that the proposed offering plan is deficient in one or more respects.

Such revisions shall be submitted to the attorney assigned by the Department of Law to review the proposed offering plan. The Department of Law may issue a deficiency letter and/or require resubmission of a new offering plan if the revisions reflect matters of fact or circumstances which were known or should have been known to the sponsor at the time of original submission, or substantially change the nature or terms of the offering, or if the plan as revised comes within the grounds stated in subdivision (g) of this section. After the offering plan is filed the plan must be amended periodically as required by section 18.5 of this Part.
(i)Statutory compliance.Unless expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Part shall be construed as limiting the requirements set forth in article 23-A of the G.B.L.

(k)Exemptions.Upon written application of the sponsor or sponsor's attorney, the Department of Law, in its discretion, may by ruling exempt a plan from the application of any provision of this Part, where it is found that enforcement of the provision is not necessary to effectuate the purposes of the G.B.L. or to protect the public interest. The application shall:
(1) be annexed to and be submitted with the attorney's transmittal letter;(2) set forth the provisions from which the exemption is sought and the grounds for the exemption; and(3) be signed by sponsor or the sponsor's attorney. The transmittal letter and certifications required by section 18.4 of this Part shall be in the form required by this Part, without modification, and shall be based on the assumption that any exemption sought pursuant to this section has been granted. In the event that the Department of Law denies the application for exemption, the Department of Law shall issue a deficiency letter as provided in subdivision (g) of this section. No additional fee is required for an exemption application.
(l)Exemption from G.B.L. section 359-e.An apartment corporation whose shares are to be sold pursuant to an offering plan filed with the Department of Law is deemed exempted from the registration requirements of G.B.L. section 359-e, provided that all offering activities are made exclusively by persons duly registered under the filing requirements of such section. No application for exemption need be filed by an apartment corporation exempted under this subdivision.
(m)Transition.Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Part, the following provisions apply to any proposed offering plan which:
(1) was submitted to the Department of Law after March 31, 1982 pursuant to Part 17 or proposed Part 18 of this Subchapter before June 25, 1982;(2) had not been filed with the Department of Law before the effective date of Part 18 (June 2, 1982); and(3) meets the requirements of subdivision (a) of this section.(i) All such proposed offering plans ("transitional plans") shall be revised to substantially comply with this Part and shall be resubmitted to the Department of Law ("resubmitted plan"). For purposes of this section, substantial compliance shall mean that the proposed offering plan contains all information required to be disclosed by this Part, either in the bound offering plan or in the supplemental submission annexed to the plan. A transitional plan will be deemed abandoned if it is not resubmitted within six months of the effective date of this Part. Sponsor shall notify all offerees in writing within five days after the plan is deemed abandoned.(ii) The Department of Law, in its discretion, may issue a letter to the sponsor or sponsor's attorney stating that a transitional plan is filed if the resubmitted offering plan complies with this Part and more than 120 days have elapsed from the date the proposed offering plan was first submitted to the Department of Law.(iii) After resubmission, the Department of Law shall issue a letter to the sponsor or sponsor's attorney stating that the resubmitted plan is filed, or indicating deficiencies. The Department of Law shall issue such a letter no later than 180 days after the date of resubmission. The Department of Law may issue a deficiency letter whenever it appears: (a) that the department cannot make any finding mandated by law, or(b) that the resubmitted plan is deficient in one or more respects.(iv) The requirement in subdivision (e) of this section that a copy of the proposed offering plan and a notice be served on offerees does not apply to a resubmitted offering plan. If the resubmitted plan contains any material change in the terms of the proposed offering plan as first submitted to the Department of Law, the sponsor must serve a copy of the resubmitted plan and the following notice on each offeree. The transmittal letter required by section 18.2(c)(1) of this Part must state whether and in what respects the resubmitted plan materially changes the terms of the proposed offering plan first submitted to the Department of Law. A resubmitted plan that does not materially change the terms of the proposed offering plan first submitted to the Department of Law must be made available to tenants at the office of sponsor or selling agent for inspection and copying.
