A waiver is requested to the extent that this section requires any documentation as to project eligibility other than to present the Project Eligibility Letter issued by the Subsidizing Agency("PEL"). Under 760 CMR 56.04(1), project eligibility requirements"shall be established by issuance" of the PEL. ACTION: The ZBA is not requiring any documentation other than the PEL to determine project eligibility and,therefore, this waiver is unnecessary. 8
