				Institution Technician shall list their license with the Board in the name of
				the private educational institution by whom the licensee is employed.
(b) The holder of license as a Private
				Educational Institution Technician shall be a full-time employee of a private
				education institution.
(c) A
				Private Educational Institution Technician licensee shall ensure that a permit
				is obtained from the State or local code enforcement official of the
				jurisdiction where the worksite is located before commencing any work for which
				a license is required by the Board. The licensee shall also ensure that a
				request for final inspection of the work for which a license is required is
				made within 10 days of the earlier of the system being made operational or
				placed in service, absent agreement with the permitting authority. Absent
				agreement with the authority having jurisdiction the licensee shall not be
				relieved of responsibility to the Board to arrange inspection until a
				certificate of compliance or the equivalent is obtained from the authority
				having jurisdiction or the licensee has documentary evidence of his effort to
				obtain the same.
(d) The failure of
				a licensee to comply with the permit and inspection obligations outlined in
				this Rule shall be considered by the Board as evidence of incompetence or
				misconduct in the use of license from the Board.
(e) A Private Educational Institution
				Technician licensee shall be responsible for general supervision to the extent
				of his or her qualifications, compliance with the codes and standards contained
				in Rule .0505 of this Chapter, and assurance that permits and inspections are
				obtained.
(f) The "general
				supervision" required by
				G.S.
				87-26 is the degree of supervision necessary
				and sufficient to ensure that the work is performed in a workmanlike manner and
				with the requisite skill and that the installation is made in accordance the
				codes and standards contained in Rule .0505 of this Chapter, manufacturer
				installation instructions and industry practice. General supervision requires
				that review of the work done pursuant to the Private Educational Institution
				Technician license be performed by the Private Educational Institution
				Technician licensee while the work is in progress.
(g) In each Private Educational Institution
				location, branch, or facility of any kind from which work requiring a license
				pursuant to G.S. 87, Article 2 is carried out there shall be on duty all hours
				during which the work requiring license is carried out, at least one licensee
				who holds the appropriate Private Educational Institution Technician license in
				the classification required for the work being proposed or performed, whose
				license is listed in the name of the particular Private Educational Institution
				at that location, and who is engaged in the work of the Private Educational
				Institution at the institution location or at an institution job site and who
				has the responsibility to exercise general supervision over the work and who
				has been empowered to act for the Private Educational Institution, as defined
				in Rule .0505 of this Chapter, of all work falling within his or her license
				qualification. Evidence of compliance shall be required as a condition of
				renewal or retention of license and falsification shall constitute fraud in
				obtaining license. The standards set forth in Rule .0512 of this Chapter shall
				be applied.
(h) An unlicensed
				person employed by a Private Educational Institution licensed and supervised
				pursuant to G.S. 87, Article 2 shall not be required to have a license and
				shall not be subject to an action for injunctive relief brought by the Board if
				the unlicensed person is a bona-fide employee of the State and local
				government.

				fee for a Private Educational Institution Technician license is one hundred
				fifty dollars ($150.00), except as provided in Paragraph (j) of this
				Rule.
(j) The annual license fee
				for a Private Educational Institution Technician license that is listed as the
				second or subsequent licensee at the same agency location is seventy-five
				dollars ($75.00).
