The Board of Psychology hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver and Variance, filed on June 20, 2017, by Svetlana Kimovna Masgutova. The Notice was published in Volume 43, No. 125, of the Florida Administrative Register, on June 28, 2017. Petitioner sought a variance and waiver of subsection 64B19-11.0035(3), F.A.C., which required an original, signed letter on official letterhead from the director of a doctoral psychology program accredited by the accrediting agency recognized and approved by the United States Department of Education. Petitioner also requested a variance or waiver from paragraph 64B19-11.005(1)(c), (2), and (3), F.A.C., regarding supervised experience. The Board considered the Petition at its duly-noted public meeting held on July 21, 2017. The Board’s Order, filed on August 14, 2017, voted to grant the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute is being achieved by other means and that application of the above rule would cause a substantial hardship or violate the principles of fairness.
