NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 19-1-106 establishes the Radiation Control Board. The Board is authorized to make rules under Section 19-3-104 that are necessary for controlling exposure to sources of radiation that constitute a significant health hazard.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

There have been no comments received since the last five-year review. This has not been a controversial rule and it is necessary that it is continued.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule specifies the training and notification requirements, by employers, for workers that use radioactive materials. The rule also provides workers protection from retribution from their employer if a worker informs the Division of Radiation Control about possible violations or safety concerns in their workplace. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
