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:

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 since the last five-year review. The Division of Radiation Control Director has recommended to the Board that this rule be continued.

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

The Radiation Control Board has determined that there is a need to write rules to control the use of radiation sources that constitute a significant health hazard. This rule specifies the regulatory requirements for radiation sources used in Well Logging operations. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
