Section 481-6-3 - Oral examination

Only applicants who demonstrate to the Board that the written examination specified in Section 2 would not provide an equitable test of their underground oil storage tank inspection knowledge can take the oral examination. The circumstances under which the Board will consider substituting an oral examination for the written examination include but are not limited to physical disability or where English is not the applicant's first language. Such oral examination will test the applicant's knowledge of the requirements of 38 M.R.S. Section 561 , et seq., any rules promulgated thereunder by the Board of Environmental Protection concerning the inspection of underground oil storage tanks, Federal regulations relating to underground oil storage tank removal, the practical skills relating to underground oil storage tank inspection, and other subjects as the Board requires to determine the applicant's fitness to practice. Such examination shall be scheduled and located by mutual consent between the qualified applicant and the Board. The oral examination shall be administered by at least one member of the Board. The test shall consist of 150 multiple-choice questions identical to those developed for the written examination (Section 2 of this chapter), and a score of 80 percent or better shall be considered passing. The Board shall assess a nonrefundable fee of $250 for the conduct and processing of oral examinations. This fee is due upon scheduling of the examination. A person who fails the oral examination may apply for reexamination upon payment of the prescribed fee
