Summary


On 09/30/2014, the NRC amended the federal radioactive materials regulations in 10 CFR Part 37 to address security-related information requirements for large irradiators and manufacturers, distributors, and transporters of Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive materials. Additionally, on 08/03/2015 the NRC made various technical corrections to the federal radioactive materials regulations, including a correction to a reference in 10 CFR Part 37 (specifically paragraph 37.23(b)(2)). However, based on the compatibility designations, the majority of NRC's revisions published in the noted Federal Registers are not required for an Agreement State, such as Utah, to adopt into the state radioactive materials rules. This proposed rule change incorporates those revisions associated with maintaining regulatory compatibility with the federal radioactive materials regulations. Because Rule R313-37 incorporates by reference 10 CFR Part 37, updating the date of the incorporation by reference from 2014 to 2017 results in incorporating the changes published by the NRC on 09/30/2014 and 08/03/2015. Consequently, only the change to the date of the incorporation by reference in Section R313-37-3 is necessary in order to maintain regulatory compatibility with NRC rules as an Agreement State with the NRC.
