(3) ISD-OC must seek approval from an agency before negotiating any renewal agreement for broadband circuit service that will result in increased costs to the agency.
E. effectuate the transition to an aggregated broadband circuit network in ways that minimize:

[1.12.4.12 NMAC - N, 12-29-00]
1.12.4.13 EXEMPTION:
A. An agency may request exemption from the requirement to participate in broadband circuit aggregation efforts. Exemptions shall be granted only if aggregation would:
(1) result in a significant increase in agency costs;
(2) decrease the security of agency operations;
(3) compromise essential service attributes critical to agency success; or
(4) result in inadequate resource levels.
B. An agency shall file a written request for exemption with the CIO. The request shall state the grounds on which the request is based and shall include any information available to support the request. The CIO shall respond to the request within thirty (30) days.
