    The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice of the issuance of a Notice of Intent to Deny Petition for Variance or Waiver of Rule 64B17-3.003, F.A.C., filed on July 8, 2015, by Edwin P. James. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 41, No. 136, of the July 15, 2015 Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting on August 7, 2015. The Petitioner sought a waiver of the provision of Rule 64B17-3.003(2), F.A.C., which requires the use of the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (“FSBPT”) Course Work Tool (CWT) when evaluating foreign educational credentials for equivalency.

    The Board found that Petitioner failed to demonstrate how he has met the purpose of the underlying statute by other means, or how principles of fairness would be violated. Accordingly, the Board voted to deny the Petition for a Variance or Waiver. The Board filed its Notice on August 20, 2015.

    A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Board of Physical Therapy Practice, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253.
