    Pursuant to NAC 701A.290, the NSOE director has determined that it would be unjust to deny acceptance of an application if the registrant could have complied with the 120-day requirement set forth in NAC 701A.220 (1)(a) and (b) between June 15, 2007, the effective date of Assembly Bill 621 from the 2007 session of the Nevada Legislature and the date the project registration forms became available (June 25, 2008).

    Therefore, the NSOE director is waiving the requirement of NAC 701A.220 (1)(a) and (b) if the applicant can show that it would have been able to comply with the applicable deadline if the form for application pursuant to NAC 701A.010 to 701A.290, inclusive, had been available and the provisions of NAC 701A.010 to 701A.290, inclusive, had been effective on that date. All applications received after March 1, 2009 will be subject to the provisions of NAC 701A.220.1 (a) and (b).

  • Certificate of Eligibility: This form will be issued to applicants upon approval of the Project Registration form.

    • Notice to all Registrants: IF YOU SUBMIT AN INCOMPLETE PROJECT REGISTRATION, IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE "RECEIVED" BY THE NEVADA STATE OFFICE OF ENERGY ("NSOE") UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT ALL MISSING INFORMATION HAS BEEN SUPPLIED. THE 120 DAY DEADLINE FOR PROCESSING WILL NOT START UNTIL A COMPLETE REGISTRATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

    The NSOE held a workshop on May 19, 2010, and hearing on May 21, 2010, to solicit comments from interested persons on a proposed amendment to NAC 701A.290.
