OAR 736-008-0055: Emergency Procedure

(1) Under extreme conditions such as severe cut backs of federal funds or complete elimination of these funds an emergency procedure may be initiated at the discretion of the Director. (2) The emergency procedure will establish new time lines and funding strategies to coincide with the time delay created at the federal level. The Director may delay or abolish time lines, and fund projects on the existing priority list with underruns and cancellations until either projects or money is exhausted. (3) Under the emergency procedure the Director will notify prospective applicants of any anticipated time changes and assure applicants of adequate lead time in developing new time lines.
