[SRRA]: Information regarding document submittals by terminated/expired temporary LSRPs

This notice is to advise temporarily licensed LSRPs whose licenses have expired or have been terminated as to the circumstances under which documents submitted by the temporarily licensed LSRP are valid. If a temporarily licensed LSRP failed the LSRP permanent licensing exam three times between May 2012 and January 2013, they were notified on February 6, 2013 that their temporary LSRP license was terminated on February 6, 2013. If a temporarily licensed LSRP did not pass the examination to become a permanently licensed LSRP by February 28, 2013, they were notified on February 28, 2013 that their temporary LSRP license expired on February 28, 2013.

Documents submitted by temporarily licensed LSRPs whose licenses have expired or have been terminated are valid submissions only if they meet the following criteria:

Temporarily Licensed LSRP License Terminated:

1. The Department received the document no later than February 13, 2013, 5:00 pm, EST; and
2. All work associated with the document must have been completed and certified before February 6, 2013, while the temporary license was valid.

Temporarily Licensed LSRP License Expired:

1. The Department received the document no later than March 8, 2013, 5:00 pm, EST; and
2. All work associated with the document must have been completed and certified before February 28, 2013, while the temporary license was valid.

The Department will not accept any document that is not a valid submission as discussed above. The temporarily licensed LSRP and the person responsible for conducting the remediation (PRCR) will receive a letter that the document submitted has not been accepted by the Department and that the PRCR must retain a permanently licensed LSRP and resubmit a document certified by the permanently licensed LSRP.

Additionally, the Department will be invalidating any RAO that is not a valid submission as discussed above. The temporarily licensed LSRP and the PRCR will receive a letter that the RAO submitted has been invalidated by the Department and that the PRCR must retain a permanently licensed LSRP who is to issue an RAO. Please note that a determination that an RAO submission is valid does not in any manner preclude the Department from auditing the RAO in accordance with the SRRA.

If a document received by the Department within the acceptable timeframes stated above is determined to be administratively deficient, the PRCR will be notified via letter of the deficiencies and that future submittals must be from a permanently licensed LSRP.
