RULEMAKING NOTICE

Please find attached a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact.
Rule Caption: Modifies the foreign degree evaluation process.
Rule Summary: The proposed amendment changes the review process for applicants for licensure who possess a foreign degree.  Evaluation will no longer be conducted by a Board approved credentialing body, but will instead be completed by the National Register of Health Service Psychologists.  The amendment also makes other minor language changes to clarify that foreign training is accepted.
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.us<mailto:laree.felton at state.or.us> or mail them to the Board's office at 3218 Pringle Road SE, Ste. 130, Salem, OR 97302.  All comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on 12/31/13.
Website: The above documents, along with rule text (for the proposed rules, new language underlined, deleted language with strike-through), are available at www.oregon.gov/OBPE<http://www.oregon.gov/OBPE> under "Headlines."

You are receiving this email because you are either a licensee, applicant/resident, or an interested person who has requested to be on the Board's mailing list.  This listserv does not allow replies.

Thank you,
