Effective July 1, 2022, Executive Order 121 split the former Department of Health and Social Services into the Department of Health and the Department of Family and Community Services. As of Register 242 (July 2022), the regulations attorney made a conforming technical revision under sec. 138, E.O. 121 and AS 44.62.125(b)(6), to the authority citation that follows 7 AAC 10.9525, by adding a new reference to AS 44.30.020: the list of duties for the Department of Family and Community Services that corresponds to the list in AS 44.29.020 for what is now the Department of Health. 7 AAC 10.9530. Posting of a general variance. (a) If the department grants a request for a general variance, the entity shall post a copy of the general variance decision in a conspicuous place, with the entity’s license as required by AS 47.32.080, during the period the variance is in effect, and shall make it available to any person who wishes to review it. A general variance remains in effect for the duration stated, unless the department revokes the variance under (b) of this section. (b) The department will revoke a general variance if the department finds that the entity is not following its plan for achieving compliance, or is no longer able to adequately provide for the health, safety, and welfare of recipients of services during the term of the variance. If the department decides to revoke a variance, it will provide written notice of revocation to the entity, setting out the reasons for the department’s decision. The department will advise the entity of its right to request reconsideration under 7 AAC 10.9535. A notice of revocation issued under this subsection is effective 30 days after it is received by the entity unless a request for reconsideration is submitted. Nothing in this subsection precludes the department from issuing a notice of immediate revocation if the department finds that the life, health, safety, or welfare of recipients of services is threatened.
