DAR File No.: 34555
Filed: 04/06/2011 11:22:41 AMNOTICE 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 19-3-104 provides the Radiation Control Board authority to make rules to protect the public and environment from sources of radiation. Section 19-3-106.4 requires a generator or waste collector (Broker) of Low-level radioactive waste to obtain a site access permit prior to transferring or shipping waste to a commercial radioactive waste treatment or disposal facility located in Utah. The purpose of this rule is to establish criteria and terms and conditions upon which the Executive Secretary issues permits to generators accessing a land disposal facility located within the state.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No written comments have been received by the agency 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 and conditions for issuing a site access permit to generators or brokers. Once a permit is issued, it allows them to ship waste to a commercial radioactive waste facility in Utah. The rule also provides regulation for compliance inspections of shipments.
