MARCH 17, 2015_EMAIL FOR HOWARD_9th FOLLOW UP_TWO LINKS FOR TITLE 23 WATER

MARCH  17, 2015

Mr. Tom Howard 

Executive Director

State Water Resources  Control Board

Dear Mr. Tom Howard,

The OOC maintains two LINKS for TITLE 23 WATERS:

NEW LINK

1) http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/operator_certification/docs/ocr_clean.pdf

This NEW LINK was commissioned effective  April  1, 2013.  Examinees and/or applicants, most probably, would not be able to notice this change or if ever they did notice, they might not have the time to review again and study the new regulations and most likely to commit error in the submission of the application or error in the course of the examination. These errors work in favor of the OCC in terms of additional application fees and/or examination fees TO BE COLLECTED for filing another application for the same examination.

OLD LINK  

2) http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/operator_certification/docs/regs.pdf

Despite, the fact that there was a new LINK  for  TITLE WATERS on date April 1, 2013, supposedly the updated one, and therefore, the OLD LINK should have been deleted since April 1, 2013 to avoid confusion, but amazingly, the OOC kept this OLD LINK and maintained it existing even up to the present times. Though the contents might look similar, however in many cases,  the contents showed a lot of inconsistencies after a careful perusal which could most likely cause the prospective applicants and examinees to be misled and commit errors in the submission of the application and likewise errors in giving answers to the questions during the examination.

Hence, these errors result to more rounds of application and examination fees expected to be collected by the OOC from gullible applicants. This may be likened to an agency scam. THIS IS UNFAIR on part of the applicants and DEPLORABLE as a matter of your agency action.

For your appreciation,  I  most respectfully show you pertinent illustration about this subject:

 Now may I most humbly request that may you please give me the information on how many  applicants from date   April 1, 2013 up to this date who have  committed errors in filing of the application  as they have been misled by these two links and/or by the  old link and please show how much application fees the OCC  gained  from  these  re-applying applicants on account of those errors emanating from the existence of these two links at the same time.

May you please acknowledge receipt of this e-mail and I appreciate your favorable response about this subject.  Kindly send me a concise letter of denial on this subject should you decide to deny this request for information.

Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
Antonio L. Buensuceso Jr.
