C. The Tax Commissioner shall have the authority to waive interest for any class of taxpayers when the Tax Commissioner in his discretion finds that imposing interest has caused, or would cause, undue hardship to the class of taxpayers because of a natural disaster or other reason. The Tax Commissioner may grant a waiver of interest only to the extent that the Governor declares a state of emergency to exist in the Commonwealth pursuant to subdivision (7) of § 44-146.17 with respect to such natural disaster or other reason.

D. Any action of the Department under this section shall be exempt from the Administrative Process Act and the Virginia Register Act, but the Department shall preserve the reason for its action among its records. The Department shall promulgate its action in a manner that is reasonably calculated to inform the affected class of the action.
