The regulations must be consistent with the national standards promulgated by the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 131(c)(1).4.
Prescribe regulations governing the submission to the Director of any declaration, resolution, certified copy of an ordinance or other direction from the governing body of a county, city or other governmental agency that removal of signs which provide directional information about goods and services in the interest of the traveling public would cause an economic hardship in a specifically defined area. Any such declaration, resolution or ordinance must request the retention of the signs in the defined hardship area. Upon receipt of a declaration, resolution or ordinance, the Director shall forward it to the Secretary of Transportation for inclusion as a defined hardship area qualifying for exemption pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 131(o) and shall comply with the regulations of the Federal Highway Administration relating to applications for such exemptions. The regulations must provide that any local governing body submitting a request for exemption must perform the economic studies required by federal and state regulations to support the finding of economic hardship in the defined area, and submit the results of the studies to the director. This subsection does not apply to any highway which is a part of the interstate or primary highway system if such application would prevent this state from receiving federal funds or would result in sanctions against this state for noncompliance under 23 U.S.C. § 131.
