    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 radiation safety requirements for persons who use radioactive material to examine the macroscopic structure of materials. 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 establishes the training criteria a person must meet to utilize a radiographic exposure device in the industrial setting. The rule is also needed to meet the requirements of federal law relating to radiation control. No opposing comments have been received.
