2.21.1 Subject to these regulations, any person who holds a specific license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, any Agreement State, or Licensing State, and issued by the agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, is hereby granted a general license to conduct the activities authorized in such licensing document within the State of South Carolina for a period not in excess of 180 days in any calendar year provided that:

2.21.1.1 The licensing document does not limit the activity authorized by such document to specified installations or locations; and

2.21.1.2 The out-of-state licensee notifies the Department in writing at least three (3) days prior to engaging in such activity. Such notification shall indicate the location, period, and type of proposed possession and use within the State, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the pertinent licensing document. If, for a specific case, the three (3) day period would impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, he may, upon application to the Department, obtain permission to proceed sooner; and

2.21.1.3 The out-of-state licensee complies with all applicable regulations of the Department and with all terms and conditions of his licensing document, except any such terms and conditions which may be inconsistent with applicable regulations of the Department; and

2.21.1.4 The out-of-state licensee supplies such other information as the Department may reasonably request.

2.21.1.5 The out-of-state licensee shall not transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or used under the general license provided in this section except by transfer to a person specifically licensed by the Department or by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to receive such material.

2.21.1.6 The general license granted in RHA 2.21.1 concerning activities in offshore waters authorizes that person to possess or use radioactive materials, or engage in the activities authorized, for an unlimited period of time.

2.21.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of 2.21 any person who holds a specific license or equivalent licensing document issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State or a Licensing State authorizing the holder to manufacture, transfer, install, or service a device described in 2.4.2.1 within areas subject to the jurisdiction of the licensing body is hereby granted a general license to install, transfer, and service such a device in this State.

2.21.2.1 Such person shall satisfy the requirements of 2.10.4.1 and 2.10.4.2.

2.21.2.2 The device has been manufactured, labeled, installed and serviced in accordance with applicable provisions of the specific license issued to such person by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State or a Licensing State; and

2.21.2.3 Such person shall assure that any labels required to be affixed to the device under regulations of the authority which licensed manufacture of the device bear a statement that "Removal of this Label is Prohibited."

2.21.2.4 The holder of the specific license shall furnish to each general licensee to whom he transfers such device or on whose premises he installs such device a copy of the general license contained in Section2.4.2.

2.21.2.5 The Department may withdraw, limit, or qualify its acceptance of any specific license or equivalent licensing document issued by another agency or Licensing State, or any product distributed pursuant to such licensing document, upon determining that such action is necessary in order to protect health or minimize danger to life or property.
