apply generally or be limited in its application by reference to specified exceptions or factors, and

apply differently according to different factors of a specified kind, and

be granted for a specified period or for an indefinite period, and

if granted for a specified period—be granted before, during or after that period.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to exemptions.
