NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 24, 2006, the Board of Professional Engineers, received a petition for Variance or Waiver filed on October 24, 2006 on behalf of the State of Florida, Department of Transportation (FDOT). Pursuant to Chapter 28-104, FAC and Section 120.542, FS, Petitioner seeks a waiver of the provisions of Rule 61G15-22.011, Florida Administrative Code, which is entitled “Board Approval of Continuing Education Providers.” Specifically, and as a consequence of an scrivener’s error on the part of FDOT, which resulted in unintentionally failing to place a check mark next to the line designated “BOARD’S LAWS & RULES” in the Board’s Application For Continuing Education Provider form, the Petitioner requests a waiver of the “check-off” requirement within the application form and further seeks entry of an order allowing credit to be given to engineers who have taken the Board’s laws and rules course provided by FDOT from June 1, 2005, to and including September 21, 2006.
This Petition will be considered by the Board at it’s December 2006 meeting.
