(1) Not more than 180 calendar days after an employer achieves status as an affected employer as provided in CMC 12.90.030, an affected employer shall submit to the City for review a CTR program description as provided in CMC 12.90.040. CTR program review shall be subject to payment of a review fee as set forth in the current fee resolution. The employer shall implement a CTR program not more than 180 days after the CTR program description submittal. The employer shall implement approved program modifications within 30 calendar days of the final administrative decision on such modifications.

(2) Upon review of an employer’s CTR program description, the City shall establish the employer’s annual reporting date. Each year on the employer’s reporting date, the employer shall submit an annual CTR program report to the City. The City shall provide the format for the annual report. At least 30 calendar days prior to the date an annual report is due or program modifications are to be implemented, an employer may make written request for an extension of up to 90 calendar days to complete this action, upon payment of the fee for a request for extension as set forth in the current fee resolution. The City shall grant all or part of the extension request or shall deny the request within 10 working days of receipt. If the City fails to respond within 10 working days, the extension is automatically granted for 30 calendar days.

(3) The City shall complete review of the employer’s program description, annual report, or exemption request within 90 calendar days of receipt. The City shall provide the employer with written notification of the decision to approve required program modifications or to disapprove the employer’s CTR program, annual report or exemption request including the cause for disapproval. If the employer does not receive written notification of the acceptance or rejection of the employer’s CTR program description, annual report, revised CTR program or exemption within the deadlines established in this subsection, they shall be deemed accepted. An affected employer shall implement a CTR program within 180 calendar days of submitting its initial CTR program description regardless of the status of decisions concerning its approval. Thereafter the employer shall implement required program revisions within 30 calendar days of the final administrative decision on program requirements.

(4) In response to recommended modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program description, including the requested modifications or equivalent measures, within 30 days of receipt. The City shall review revisions made in response to recommended modifications and notify the employer of acceptance or rejection of the revised program. If a revised program is not accepted, the City will send written notice to that effect to the employer within 30 days and, if necessary, require the employer to attend a conference with City staff for the purpose of reaching a consensus on the required program. A final decision on the required program will be issued in writing by the City within 10 working days of the conference.

(5) Employers may request exemptions, goal modifications or credit for TDM programs that existed prior to 1992 at least two months prior to the due date for the employer’s initial CTR program description submittal. Employers may request exemptions, goal modifications, program modifications and program exemption credit as part of the annual report. Employers may request exemptions and program modifications at any time.

(6) At least one year after its initial CTR program implementation, an affected employer may request a modification of the applicable CTR goals, subject to payment of a fee as set forth in the current fee resolution. Such requests shall be filed in writing at least 60 days prior to the date the work site is required to submit its program description and annual report. (Ord. 20-07 § 36; Ord. 38-02 § 2 (12.60.050))
