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 within the Department of Environmental Quality. In accordance with Section 19-3-104, the Board is authorized to make rules that are necessary for controlling exposures 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:
This is not a controversial rule, as no comments have been received since the last five-year review.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
It is necessary to continue this rule because it establishes the requirements for the medical use of radiation and radioactive material. This rule also needs to be continued to ensure that the state's rules are adequate to protect public health and safety, and meet compatibility requirements of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's program. The rule provides for protection of the public health and safety by controlling the internal or external administration of radioactive material to humans. The rule also establishes training requirements for individuals who are authorized to use radioactive material in the practice of medicine.
