Who can be certified as a Designated Representative according to the regulations?

The correct answer is that professionals holding specific certificates from the State of Arkansas can be certified as a Designated Representative. This option aligns with the regulatory requirements that designate qualifications for individuals who wish to take on this role.

Being a Designated Representative typically requires individuals to have specific knowledge and understanding of relevant laws, regulations, and practices that affect the operation and management of certain professional activities in Arkansas. Holding specific certificates indicates that these individuals have met the educational and professional standards required to represent others effectively in designated capacities.

Other options do not meet the necessary criteria to be certified. Merely being a resident of Arkansas does not ensure that an individual possesses the requisite knowledge or skills needed for the responsibilities of a Designated Representative. Similarly, having any prior engineering background may not correlate with the specific expertise required for certification. Local government officials may have their own regulatory roles and standards, but they are not exclusively eligible for certification as Designated Representatives unless they also meet specific state certification requirements.
