In an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the FBPE office is closed to the public, and our staff is working remotely, with limited time in the office and on modified schedules. The processing of applications and mail continues.
Phone calls to the FBPE office may not be returned immediately. We encourage you to search our comprehensive website for answers to your questions. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, please email board@fbpe.org.
