Decision Question
Should Engineer A proactively consult the state engineering registration board about license jeopardy before deciding whether to issue or refuse the permit, or should he act on his own professional judgment without seeking board guidance?
Focus
Engineer A faces a directive from his superior to expedite a construction permit he believes violates Clean Air Act SO2 standards. Before deciding whether to issue or refuse the permit, Engineer A must determine whether to consult the state engineering registration board about the license implications of issuing a potentially non-compliant permit.
Option1
Proactively contact the state engineering registration board to obtain guidance on whether issuing the permit would jeopardize Engineer A's professional license, documenting the advisory received before making a final decision on the permit.
Option2
Proceed directly to refuse or issue the permit based on Engineer A's own professional assessment of Clean Air Act compliance, without seeking external board guidance, on the grounds that his technical determination is itself sufficient basis for the decision.
Option3
Before consulting the registration board or refusing the permit, seek a second technical opinion from a qualified peer engineer on whether the fluidized boiler process meets SO2 standards, using that review to either confirm or resolve the technical disagreement with the superior before escalating.
