61G15-23.003Procedures for Signing and Sealing Electronically Transmitted Plans, Specifications, Reports or Other Documents

The Board of Professional Engineers hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance, filed on April 4, 2013, by Broward County Environmental Protection & Growth Management Department. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 39, No. 71, of the April 11, 2013, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of subsection 61G15-23.003(3), F.A.C., which requires that as part of an electronic seal process, a report be created, printed, and manually signed, dated and sealed.

The Board’s Order, filed on March 18, 2014, denied the petition finding that the petition was in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 28-104, Florida Administrative Code. Petitioner has not otherwise met the purpose of the underlying statute, and has not established that the Board’s full application of subsection 61G15-23.003(3), F.A.C., to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness nor shown a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Zana Raybon, Executive Director, Board of Professional Engineers, 2369 North Monroe Street, Suite B-112, Tallahassee, Florida 32801.
