This Supplement to Emergency Rule sets forth the criteria and information that should be provided by nursing homes seeking an emergency variance on the grounds that, for reasons outside their control, full implementation of the Emergency Power Plan is not feasible within the sixty (60) day timeframe required by the Emergency Rule. This Supplement does not repeal or modify the requirements of the Emergency Power Plan Rule. The Agency will consider the reasonable efforts undertaken by a nursing home to provide the protections contemplated by the Emergency Rule. Administrative action or sanctions for non-compliance with the Emergency Rule will be evaluated based upon the information submitted by the nursing home in conjunction with any variance request under existing law (see §120.542, Florida Statutes) along with such additional information as may be available to the Agency.
