Questions and Information about Timeframes, Timeframe Extensions and Notifications that Timeframes May Be Missed:
The Board rules that govern the conduct of LSRPs require (1) that the client shall be notified if an LSRP expects to miss a regulatory timeframe and (2)
the client and the NJDEP shall be notified if an LSRP expects to miss a mandatory or expedited site-specific timeframe. NJAC 7:26I-6.8(b) and (c). To
notify the NJDEP, use the notification form. Complete, save and email
this form to srpnotifications@dep.nj.gov.
YES. Unless the extension is approved prior to the timeframe, you must make the notification.
YES. There may be occasions in which an LSRP has been in discussions with Department personnel regarding timeframes, particularly when an
Administrative Consent Order is being negotiated. The LSRP may believe that since some Department personnel are aware that timeframes are
unlikely to be met that the notification requirement is waived. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. Notifications that timeframes may be missed, whether
regulatory timeframes, mandatory timeframes, expedited site-specific timeframes or new timeframes set by fully executed Administrative Consent
Orders, are required by NJAC 7:26I-6.8(b) and (c). Such notifications must always be made, and are never waived, regardless of circumstances.

According to the Board Rules at NJAC 7:26I-4.3(d), no more than 18 continuing education credits per three-year license term may be earned from Board approved alternative verifiable learning format programs.
"Alternative verifiable learning format" means any continuing education that is presented in a format that does not provide the ability to interact with the instructor or other participants during the presentation.
If you attend a program simultaneously to it being presented, whether you attend in-person or virtually, and you are able to interact with the instructors and other participants to ask questions or make comments via voice or chat, that is considered a live program, not alternative verifiable learning format. However, if you attend a program that you access on-demand, not simultaneously with its presentation, that is considered an alternative verifiable learning format program.
For either type of continuing education program, to verify your attendance you must provide to the Board a certificate with the name of the course, the date attended, the Board Course Number, and the number and type of continuing education credits, which is signed by a representative of the provider.
