61-3.5 Certification procedures.
The general provisions set forth at section 61-1.5 of this Part shall apply under this Subpart except as follows:
(a) Investigations.
For certification under this Subpart, each of the items set forth at section 61-1.5(a)(3) of this Part will be part of the commissioner's investigation of applicants.
(b) Examination.
(1) Written examination. Each applicant for a certificate of competence will, and each applicant for a renewal thereof may, be required by the commissioner to take an appropriate written examination.
(2) Practical examination. An applicant who passes the written examination will also be required to take a practical examination in crane operation, except that the commissioner may waive this requirement with respect to an applicant for a renewal of a certificate of competence.
(i) Conduct of practical examination. The commissioner shall designate one member of the examining board to conduct the practical examination for Class F line trucks. For all other practical examinations (for Classes A, B, C, D, and E), the commissioner shall designate a minimum of three members of the examining board to administer the practical examination, of which two members must be present at the practical examination and score the applicant and the other member(s) may review the video of the practical examination and score the applicant. When a practical examination is conducted by a single member of the examining board, the applicant must achieve a passing score from the member to receive a certificate of competence. When the practical examination is administered by three or more members of the examining board, the applicant must achieve a passing score, which shall be calculated as an average of all scores received from the three or more members that administered the practical examination. The procedures used regarding the conduct of the practical examination, the establishment of the passing score and the assignment of the board members to conduct individual examinations shall be set forth in a guidance document approved by the examining board, which shall be made publically available.
(c) Issuance of certificates without examination.
The commissioner may issue a certificate of competence without examination to the holder of a license or certificate issued by another state or government entity that allows such holder to operate cranes when, in the opinion of the commissioner, the standards used by such entity for the certification or licensing of crane operators are comparable to this Subpart.
(d) Renewals.
An application for renewal of a crane operator's certificate of competence shall be made within one year from the expiration date of the certificate sought to be renewed, except that the commissioner may extend the time to make such application.
