Chapter 3701:1-43 - Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material
Section 3701:1-43-08 - General licenses
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) Subject to the requirements of Chapter 3701:1-38, rule 3701:1-43-08, and rule 3701:1-43-18 of the Administrative Code, unless and until a specific license has been issued in accordance with rule 3701:1-43-03 of the Administrative Code, a general license is hereby issued to possess, use, transfer, distribute or dispose of TENORM without regard to quantity.
(B) This general license does not authorize the manufacture of consumer or retail products containing TENORM in concentrations greater than those specified in paragraph (A) of rule 3701:1-43-07 of the Administrative Code or the receipt and disposal of wastes from other persons.
(C) Employees or contractors under control and supervision of a general licensee may perform routine maintenance on equipment, facilities, and land owned or controlled by the general licensee. Maintenance that provides a pathway for exposure different from that found in periodic maintenance operations and that increases the potential for additional exposure is not considered routine maintenance. The decontamination of equipment, facilities, and land will be performed only by persons specifically licensed by the director, an agreement state, or another licensing state to conduct such work.
(D) Any person subject to the general license issued by paragraph (A) of this rule, will notify the director within sixty days of becoming subject to the general license. Such notification will include:
(E) Transfer of material, equipment or real property.
(F) The distribution of TENORM products not exempt from these regulations, from one general licensee to another general licensee, is authorized provided the product is accompanied by labels or manifests which identify the type and amount of TENORM. This may be accomplished by providing notification to the recipient through literature such as safety data sheets, manifests, or labeling accompanying the product.
(G) The director may, by written notice, prescribe any person authorized by a general license to apply for, and obtain, a specific license if the director determines that specific licensure is necessary to ensure that exposures do not exceed the criteria of rule 3701:1-38-12 and rule 3701:1-38-13 of the Administrative Code. The notice will state the reason or reasons for requiring a specific license.
