SECTION D: SCHEDULE AND PROCESS FOR CTR REPORTS 1. CTR Program. Not more than six months after the adoption of this ordinance, or within six months after an employer qualifies under the provisions of this ordinance, the employer shall develop a CTR program and shall submit to the City a description of that program for review. 2. CTR Annual Progress Reports. Upon review of an employer's initial CTR program, the City shall establish the employer's annual reporting date, which shall not be less than 12 months from the day the program is submitted. Each year on the employer's reporting date,the employer shall submit to the City the annual CTR report. 3. Document Review. The City shall provide the employer with written notification if a CTR program is deemed unacceptable. The notification must give cause for the rejection. The employer shall have 30 days to resubmit a modified program. If the employer receives no written notification of extension of the review period for the CTR program or comment on the CTR program or annual report within 90 days of submission,the employer's program or annual report is deemed accepted. The City may extend the review period up to 90 days. The implementation date for the employer's CTR program will be extended an equivalent number of days. 4. Modification of CTR Program Elements. Any affected employer may request that the City allow the modification of CTR program elements, other than the mandatory elements specified in this ordinance, including record keeping requirements. Such requests may be granted if one of the following conditions exist: a. The employer can demonstrate that it would be unable to comply with the CTR program elements for reasons beyond the control of the employer; b. The employer can demonstrate that compliance with the program elements would constitute an undue hardship. This may include evidence from employee surveys administered at the worksite: first, in the base year, showing that the employer's own base year values of VMT per employee and SOV rates were higher than the CTR zone average; and subsequently, in the progress year(s) showing that the employer has achieved reductions from its own base values that are comparable to the reduction goals established for the employer's CTR zone. 5. Extensions. An employer may request additional time to submit a CTR program or CTR annual progress report,or to implement or modify a program. Such requests shall be made in writing no less than 30 days before the due date for which the extension is being requested. Requests must be made in writing. Extensions not to exceed 90 days shall be considered for reasonable causes. The City shall grant or deny the employer's extension request in writing within 10 working days of receipt. If there is no response issued to the employer,an extension is automatically granted for 30 days. Extensions 10
