Rule Withdrawn: 01/13/2010
Preamble No Rule Available

(a)As soon as practicable after the application is approved, the comptroller shall add the arbitrator's name to the registry. Additional information that the comptroller may place on the registry includes:

  (1)the arbitrator's taxpayer identification number and the name of the licensing agency;

  (2)the professional resume or vitae provided by the arbitrator with the arbitrator's application (Form No. AP-218-5 and 218-6);

  (3)the geographic areas in which the arbitrator agrees to serve;

  (4)information related to arbitrations conducted by the arbitrator, including the number of arbitrations conducted, complaints and commendations received by the comptroller, and temporary removals; and

  (5)any other information about the arbitrator or the arbitrator's arbitrations that the comptroller determines could be of assistance to a party seeking to select an arbitrator.

(b)The arbitrator registry includes information provided by the arbitrator, who has confirmed by signature that it is true and correct. A person who discovers that registry information is inaccurate should inform the comptroller as soon as practicable.

(c)Each arbitrator is required to report to the comptroller in writing a material change in the information provided in the application. A material change shall be reported as soon as is practicable, but no later than 30 days after the change occurs. A material change includes a change in name, address, telephone number, electronic mail address, Web site address, loss of required licensure, incapacity, or other condition that could reasonably be anticipated to prevent the arbitrator from professionally performing arbitration duties.

(d)An arbitrator who receives notice of an appointment before receiving notice that the application has been approved may accept the assignment.

(e)The comptroller may at any time correct or change registry information after receiving verbal or written information indicating that registry information is incorrect or should be changed, if the information is from a source that the comptroller determines is reliable.

This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
