Oklahoma Administrative Rules - Subchapter 3

• (a) Individual professional engineer, professional engineer with a structural engineer designation, and professional land surveyor comity applicants meeting the requirements of a NCEES Model Law Engineer, NCEES Model Law Structural Engineer, or NCEES Model Law Surveyor, or other requirements as determined by Board statutes, rules and policy may be reviewed and evaluated by the Executive Director or the Board's designee, to determine if the applicant meets or exceeds the approved criteria. If the applicant meets or exceeds these requirements, the applicant may receive a contingent license authorizing the individual to offer or provide engineering or surveying services in Oklahoma. A list of all engineers issued contingent licenses will be placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the Board for formal approval by the Board. A list of all surveyors who have been issued contingent licenses and who have passed the appropriate Oklahoma-specific examination will be placed on the agenda of the next meeting for formal approval by the Board. All other complete comity applicants will be reviewed and evaluated by the Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board to determine if they meet or exceed the criteria to be licensed as a professional engineer, professional engineer with a structural engineer designation or a professional land surveyor.
• (b) Certificate of Authorization applications for firms which meet the statutory and rule requirements may also be approved by the Executive Director or the Board's designee. If the firm meets or exceeds these requirements, the firm may receive a contingent authorization allowing the firm to offer or provide engineering or surveying services in Oklahoma. A list of all firms issued contingent authorizations will be placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the Board for formal approval by the Board.
• (c) A contingent license or authorization will be in effect from its date of issuance until such time as the Board takes final action on the application for licensure or authorization. If the Board determines that the applicant does not meet the requirements for issuance of a license or authorization, the contingent license or authorization shall be immediately and automatically revoked upon notice to the applicant and no license will be issued.
• (d) Initial applicants for a professional engineer or professional land surveyor license shall apply to the Board when all education, examination and experience requirements have been met.
• (e) Intern applications for certification may be approved by the Executive Director or the Board's designee.

• (a) Incomplete applications not yet presented to the Board, will be withdrawn from consideration by the Board after one year from the date submitted to the Board and a new and complete application shall be required from an applicant seeking licensure.
• (b) The Board shall adopt a policy regarding the number of attempts an examinee may be granted for any Board-approved examination, as well as requirements for re-applying for future examination attempts. An applicant's application will be closed after a prescribed number of failures of any Board-approved examinations. For further consideration, an applicant shall file a new and complete application for re-examination, to include evidence of additional education, knowledge or skill sufficient to materially improve the applicant's qualifications for re-examination which shows that the additional requirements outlined in the Board's policy for re-examination have been met. NCEES examinations will be administered per NCEES policy and the policies of the Board.
• (c) If an applicant requests that the applicant's application be withdrawn from consideration, the Board will reject the application. Any further consideration will require a new and complete application and fee.
