Comments:

Under Florida State Statutes a waiver can be granted for one of the following reasons - a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable, or extreme hardship. We believe that we would qualify under an unreasonable, an extreme hardship and technically infeasible due to the applicable requirements of 553.512 - Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if an applicant for a waiver demonstrates economic hardship in accordance with 28 C.F.R. s. 36.403(f)(1), a waiver shall be granted. We concur with the reasoning as so stated under items 9 and 10.
