Radiation Protection Rules
Pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A, Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules, all rules are reviewed at least every 10 years, or they shall expire. As a result of the periodic review of the rules in Chapter 10A NCAC 15, Radiation Protection, 53 rules proposed for readoption were part of the 257 rules from the N.C. Radiation Protection Commission determined as “Necessary With Substantive Public Interest,” requiring readoption. With input from advisory committees and working groups of the N.C. Radiation Protection Commission, substantive changes are proposed to one rule for readoption, one rule is proposed for amendment, and 56 rules are proposed for repeal or as readoption as a repeal for a total of 58 proposed rules.
The two rules proposed for amendment or readoption with substantive changes have been reorganized to incorporate by reference the federal Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for Parts 19, and 20. Fifty -six rules are proposed for repeal or readoption as a repeal because they have are redundant and are therefore unnecessary because the federal regulations for these rules are incorporated by reference in rules 10A NCAC 15 .1001 and .1601.
