RULEMAKING NOTICE
 
Dear Colleagues,
 
Please find attached a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Statement of
Need and Fiscal Impact.
Rule Caption: Modifies educational requirements for licensure and
application procedures; adds licensure by endorsement; modifies
investigation procedures.
Rule Summary: Defines “practicum” and clarifies practicum experience
requirement. Modifies the educational requirements for licensure for
applicants who possess a doctoral degree from a program accredited by
the American Psychological Association or the Canadian Psychological
Association.  Removes requirement that doctoral degree program must have
authorization to operate in Oregon by the Office of Degree
Authorization.  Modifies and makes corrections to the standard
application procedure.  Removes the “non-standard” application procedure
and replaces it with “Licensure by Endorsement.”  Creates new
application procedures for applicants licensed as a psychologist in
another jurisdiction.  Removes incorrect references to “clinical”
titles. Establishes that complete applications will be archived two
years after approval.  Establishes that a third failed Examination for
Professional Practice (EPPP) in Psychology will result in application
denial.  Adds provision for refund of the jurisprudence exam fee in
extraordinary circumstances.  Repeals the complaint disposition
procedures of 858-020-0065 and 858-020-0095.  Also includes various
minor housekeeping items.
The agency requests public comment on whether the options should be
considered for achieving the rule’s substantive goals while reducing
negative economic impact of the rule on business.  Please email your
comments to laree.felton at state.or.usor mail them to the Board’s office
at 3218 Pringle Road SE, Ste. 130, Salem, OR 97302.  All comments must

rules, new language underlined, deleted language with strike-through),
are available at www.oregon.gov/OBPEunder “headlines.”
