ARCHITECTURE
Petition for: Waiver of New York State requirements pertaining to acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure by endorsement.
Summary Statement: The petitioners listed below are all graduates of professionally accredited architecture programs who have applied for licensure in New York. All have achieved, at a minimum, a Bachelor of Architecture degree. All petitioners have substantial documented licensed experience in other states.
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination (EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional Examination (PE). Prior to 1975, most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioners passed either the national Professional Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the national Examination Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975. Prior to 1983, New York State required passage of the Equivalency Examination (EE), or passage of the Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage of the national Professional Examination. Each of the petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and attained licensure in that state.
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner’s Regulations require for endorsement that “… an architect licensed in another state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture …”
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure and has extensive professional practice satisfactory to the State Board. Since the above information illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in lieu of the practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered satisfied and each applicant’s licensure in another state be accepted for endorsement in New York State.

James L. Mannello
Brooklyn, New York
Petition for: Waiver of the Business Law and Professional Responsibility (LPR) Section of the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.
Statement of Problem: Mr. Mannello is an applicant for licensure by endorsement of a CPA license issued by the State of Connecticut in January 1996. He is also an attorney in the State of Connecticut. At the time that his CPA license was issued, Connecticut did not require attorneys to sit for the Business Law and Professional Responsibility (LPR) Section of the Uniform CPA exam. He did pass the other three sections of the exam in Connecticut within the time frame allowed by New York.
Mr. Mannello is petitioning to waive the requirement that an applicant sit for and pass the LPR section of the Uniform CPA Exam. Mr. Mannello’s passing of three sections of the CPA examination and the Connecticut Bar Exam was deemed by the State of Connecticut to be substantially equivalent to passing all four sections of the CPA examination when they issued his CPA license in 1996. Based on the above and the fact that Mr. Mannello has continued as a CPA in good standing in Connecticut since that time, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports his petition.

Svetlana Khenina
Brooklyn, New York
(Pace University, New York, New York, Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Business Administration in Accounting, June 2001)
Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.
Statement of Problem: Svetlana Khenina, an applicant for licensure as a CPA, recently passed the four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination. Commissioner’s Regulations required her to pass all fourt parts of the examination within 36 months. Due to a series of medical issues, however, she exceeded the 36-month conditioning requirement by 19 months.
Ms. Khenina received conditional credit for passing the paper-based ARE and LPR sections of the examination in November 2002. She needed to pass the remaining two sections of the examination by November 30, 2005 to retain credit for the ARE and LPR sections. She passed the paper-based AUD section in November, 2003, well within the conditioning time period and the computer-based FAR section in June 2007, 19 months outside of conditioning.
Beginning in April 2002, however, and continuing through April 2007, Ms. Khenina, a primary care giver for her family, was faced with a series of family medical issues that made it difficult for her to adequately prepare and sit for the remaining sections of the CPA exam. During this period, Ms. Khenina did make a good faith effort at finishing the exam, attempting and failing the FAR section four times before passing it in June 2007.
Based on the strength of the documentation provided by several physicians who attended her family, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports Ms. Khenina’s request to waive the 36-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.
|APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS: |QUALIFICATIONS: |

Mark D. Orlic
West Hempstead, NY
(Binghamton University, Vestal, New York, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, August 2003)
Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.
Statement of Problem: Commissioner's Regulations require that an applicant must pass all parts of the Uniform CPA examination within 36 months. Mr. Orlic originally received conditional credit for passing the Regulation (REG) and Law and Professional Responsibility (LPR) sections of the examination in May 2003. He subsequently passed the Financial Accounting & Reporting (FAR) section in May 2006. Mr. Orlic needed to pass the Auditing and Attestation (AUD) by May 2006 to retain credit for the REG and LPR sections passed in May 2003.
Mr. Orlic attempted to pass AUD in May 2006; however, he scored a 70, five points below a passing grade. He sat for AUD again and passed it in May 2007, 12 months outside of the conditioning period. Mr. Orlic’s attempts to pass all parts of the Uniform CPA Examination within the 36-month time period were complicated by examination administration and employment issues. In his letter requesting a waiver, Mr. Orlic explains and documents that he had extenuating technological difficulties with the examination that resulted in his being granted a free re-test in December 2006; however, prior commitments required that he be out of the country until mid-April 2007.
The Executive Secretary for the State Board for Accountancy supports Mr. Orlic’s request to waive the 36-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.
Statement of Problem: Alan Lorman, an applicant for licensure as a CPA, recently passed the four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination. Commissioner’s Regulations required him to pass all four parts of the examination within 36 months. Due to a series of medical issues, however, he exceeded the 36-month conditioning requirement by 6 months.
Mr. Lorman received conditional credit for passing the paper-based AUD and LPR sections of the examination in November 2003. He needed to pass the remaining two sections of the examination by November 30, 2006 to retain credit for the AUD and LPR sections. He passed the computer-based REG section in May, 2004, well within the conditioning time period and the computer-based FAR section in May 2007, six months outside of conditioning.
Beginning in February 2006, however, and continuing through the present, Mr. Lorman was faced with a series of family medical issues that made it difficult for him to adequately prepare and sit for the remaining section of the CPA exam. Despite these issues, Mr. Lorman made a good faith effort to pass the exam, sitting for the FAR section a number of times before passing it in May 2007.
Based on the strength of the documentation provided by several physicians who attended his family, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports Mr. Lorman’s request to waive the 36-month requirement to pass all four parts of the Uniform CPA Examination.

Rory A. Rose
Dix Hills, New York
(University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, May 2005.)
Petition for: Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination.
Statement of Problem: During the last three quarters of 2006 the uniform CPA exam was subject to an undetected scoring anomaly that resulted in approximately 200 New York State applicants being given an incorrect grade that was lower than it should have been. A small number of these 200 applicants were told that they had failed a section that they had actually passed, sat for that section again, and failed it during that subsequent sitting. Section 59.5(f) of the Regulations of the Commissioner state that, “A candidate who is reexamined in a part already passed shall not retain credit for such part from earlier examinations.” The Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy recommends that CPA applicants who were told they had failed a section that they actually passed should be allowed to retain credit for the passed section, even if they subsequently failed that section upon reexamination, based on the fact that they would not have scheduled the reexamination and received a subsequent failing grade had their earlier performance on the section been correctly scored and reported by the examination administrator.
Mr. Rose is one of the applicants affected by this scoring anomaly. He passed the computer-based FAR section of the exam in January 2006 and had until September 30, 2007 to pass the remaining three sections of the examination. He passed the computer- based BEC section in October 2006 and the computer-based REG section in February 2007, both within the conditioning period. He sat for and passed the computer-based AUD section in May 2006, also within the conditioning period, but was told that he had failed that section. He then sat for and failed the AUD section in August 2006.
Based on the administrative error in grading and reporting Mr. Rose’s May 2006 AUD score, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public Accountancy supports his petition that he be allowed to retain credit for that particular section, despite his subsequent attempts.

Thomas N. Rastani Jr.
Utica, New York 13502
(State University of New York Institute of Technology, Utica/Rome, New York, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology, May 2000)
Petition for: The applicant is appealing the determination of the State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying that he needs additional acceptable experience before admission to the professional engineering licensing examination.
Statement of Problem: Mr. Rastani is applying to sit for the professional engineering licensing examination. Application to the examination requires 12 years of acceptable education/experience credit. Based on his engineering technology education at SUNY Utica/Rome, he was awarded six years of acceptable education/experience in compliance with Commissioner’s Regulations. Therefore, he needs to demonstrate six years of experience satisfactory to the State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying. Commissioner’s Regulations stipulate completion of practical experience in professional engineering satisfactory to the State Board shall be verified in a manner acceptable to the State Board. The State Board has established forms and procedures for an applicant’s submission of his/her professional experience and for the review of the documentation submitted by the State Board. Mr. Rastani’s documentation of experience has been independently reviewed on two separate occasions – originally in June 2006 and again in June 2007 after he submitted additional documentation. These reviews were conducted by two separate members of the State Board, both licensed professional engineers. Their conclusion is that the applicant has not submitted sufficient documentation of having completed six years of acceptable engineering experience. The second reviewer granted him an additional six months of experience. Nonetheless, he still needs to submit documentation of one year and six months of additional years of acceptable experience before he can sit for the licensing examination.
In his petition, Mr. Rastani questioned whether all of his experience was reviewed and whether there might have been some confusion because of overlapping time periods for two endorsers. In addition, Mr. Rastani questioned the State Board’s determination that he did not document sufficient experience to “demonstrate the intensive application of engineering principles in the practical solution of engineering problems.” He indicated that he has extensive experience in highway design and that in Region 2 he is one of few lead designers. His Regional Design Engineer submitted a letter opining about the apparent diminution of the experience with which he had been credited. In his petition, Mr. Rastani also raised the concerns that other engineers with whom he worked received more experience credit that he received. The Executive Secretary of the State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying reports that the State Board can only review and make determinations on the documentation as presented by each applicant. Even in the same job title, different engineers may have different experience. Each applicant must write-up their experiences clearly to demonstrate how he/she has satisfied the experience requirement.
At this time, two Professional Engineer Board members agree that Mr. Rastani’s experience as submitted does not meet all of New York State’s requirements for licensure; thus, he does not qualify to sit for the licensure examination. Mr. Rastani’s experience was evaluated according to established procedures. He was given the opportunity to submit additional documentation and this documentation was considered by the State Board members. Department staff find the determinations of the New York State Board for Engineering and Land Surveying to be appropriate and do not find merit in the appeal. The Committee on the Professions finds no basis to override the determination of the State Board.
|APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS: |QUALIFICATIONS: |
|Part 68 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires:| |
