1. (a) Reconsideration is not available to persons whose application is non-approved because of the failure to pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering examination, the failure to possess an acceptable education, the failure to claim the required creditable experience, or the failure of the applicant who is not licensed in another jurisdiction to establish Texas residency.

2. (b) If the application is voted non-approved because of the merits of the application, the completeness or incompleteness of the application, or if the board did not grant a request to waive one or more examinations, then the applicant may initiate a request that the application be reconsidered provided:

   1. (1) the request is in writing;
   2. (2) the request includes additional information bearing on the deficiency of the original application;
   3. (3) the request is received at the board office by the close of business on or before the 60th calendar day from the date of the letter notifying the applicant of non-approval; and
   4. (4) no previous reconsideration has been given during this application.
3. (c) If a valid request for reconsideration is received, the application shall repeat the process of application review. Applicants whose applications or requests for an examination waiver are non-approved under reconsideration may request a personal interview.
