Except as provided in item B, applications shall be submitted in writing on forms approved by the office and signed by the applicant. Each application shall be verified and signed by a fuel coordinator attesting to the applicant's need for state set-aside products. The office may request reasonable additional information from an applicant as needed to support the claim of hardship or emergency.
