Let q be a positive integral power of some prime p and \mathbbFqm be a finite field with qm elements for some m ∈ ℕ. Here we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of primitive normal pairs of the type (ε, f(ε)) in \mathbbFqm over \mathbbFq with two prescribed traces, Tr_\mathbbFqm/\mathbbFq(ε)=a and Tr_\mathbbFqm/\mathbbFq(f(ε))=b, where f(x) ∈ \mathbbFqm(x) is a rational function with some restrictions and a, b ∈ \mathbbFq. Furthermore, for q=5k, m ≥ 9 and rational functions with degree sum 4, we explicitly find at most 12 fields in which the desired pair may not exist.
