SECTION 240:12-1-3. Federal rules

  The federal rules concerning the application for, and granting of, the benefits and allowances under the TAA and TRA programs are found at 20 C.F.R. Sections 617.1 through 617.66, and for the purposes of this Chapter shall be known as the "federal rules". The federal rules are hereby incorporated into this Chapter of the OESC rules by reference. The federal rules set out the basic rules concerning TAA/TRA benefits and allowances and take precedence over the rules of the OESC. The OESC rules in this Chapter have been created to implement, interpret, and clarify the requirements of the federal rules and to describe the procedure and practice requirements of the OESC concerning TAA and TRA benefits and allowances. If there is a conflict between a federal rule and any OESC rule, the federal rule will take precedence over the OESC rule and will pre-empt the provisions of the OESC rule.
