(7) For the purposes of this regulation,
"traditional client" shall mean a client who hires an appraiser for a business

(b) All
appraisal experience shall be in compliance with the uniform standards of
professional appraisal practice (USPAP), as required by
K.S.A.

a format prescribed by the board, listing the appraisal reports completed by
the applicant within the five-year period preceding the date of application.
Each appraisal report shall be signed by the applicant or the preparer of the

appraisal report, the preparer shall indicate whether or not the applicant
provided significant professional assistance in the appraisal
process.
(2) Each applicant shall
maintain a record of the actual number of hours involved in completing an
appraisal. Unless the board approves a greater number of experience hours for a
particular appraisal based upon the unusually difficult or complex nature of
the appraisal, the maximum number of experience hours for each appraisal shall
be in accordance with the board's document titled "experience hours table,"
which is adopted by reference in K.A.R. 117-2-2.
(3) If an applicant has both supervised
experience and unsupervised experience, the applicant shall maintain a separate
log of appraisals for each type of experience.

(e)
Upon request of the board, each applicant shall submit at least three appraisal
reports selected by the board from the applicant's log sheet and one appraisal
report selected by the applicant from the log sheet. The selected appraisal
reports shall be reviewed by the board or the board's designee, in accordance
with standard rule 3, for competency within the scope of practice of the
appraisal work authorized for the general classification, by using the criteria
specified in
K.S.A.
58-4109(d) and amendments
thereto and, in particular, standard rules 1 and 2 of the edition of USPAP in
effect when the appraisal was performed. Approval of an applicant's experience
