An employer may apply to the ((~~committee~~)) department for an order for a variance from any rule or regulation establishing a standard for wages, hours, or conditions of labor ((~~promulgated~~)) adopted by the ((~~committee~~)) department under this chapter, or from the requirements of section 401(3)(c) of this act for a minor who is participating in a work study program approved by the school that the minor is attending. The ((~~committee~~)) department shall issue an order granting a variance if it determines ((~~or decides~~)) that the applicant for the variance has shown good cause for the lack of compliance. Any order so issued shall prescribe the conditions the employer must maintain, and the practices, means, methods, operations, standards and processes which he or she must adopt and utilize to the extent they differ from the standard in question. At any time the ((~~committee~~)) department may terminate and revoke ((~~such~~)) the order, provided the employer was notified by the ((~~committee~~)) department of the termination at least thirty days prior to ((~~said~~)) the termination."

Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
