Nevada Revised Statutes Title 58. Energy; Public Utilities and Similar Entities § 701.772. Establishment of procedure to delay implementation of minimum standard upon consumer application; criteria for granting such a delay; regulations

1. The Director shall adopt regulations establishing a procedure whereby a consumer may apply to the Director to delay the implementation of a minimum standard of energy efficiency adopted pursuant to NRS 701.768 or 701.770 for a period of not more than 1 year. The Director may grant a request to delay the implementation of a minimum standard of energy efficiency adopted pursuant to NRS 701.768 or 701.770 if the Director determines that the consumer has set forth sufficient evidence that a requirement to procure a product that conforms to the minimum standard would impose an unreasonable burden on consumers in this State.

2. As used in this section, “unreasonable burden” includes, without limitation, fewer than three manufacturers having a product that conforms to the minimum standard available for purchase.
