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:

Subsection 19-1-106(1) created the Radiation Control Board within the Department of Environmental Quality and Subsection 19-3-104(4) authorizes the Utah Radiation Control Board to make rules 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:

This has not been a controversial rule. Employees of the Division of Radiation Control have reviewed this rule and they recommend that the Radiation Control Board continue the rule. No written comments have been received during and 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 radiation safety requirements for persons who use electronic sources of radiation for industrial radiographic, analytical, or other nonmedical applications. The electronic sources of radiation may cause a significant health hazard if not properly controlled. There have not been any comments received that were in opposition to the rule.
