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, these 27 proposed readoption rules were part of the 257 rules from the N.C. Radiation Protection Commission determined as “Necessary With Substantive Public Interest,” requiring readoption. One rule is proposed for readoption with substantive changes to incorporate by reference the federal Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Twenty-six rules are proposed for readoption as a repeal due to rule requirement redundancy within the Chapter because the readoption substantive changes proposed to Rule 15 .1301 refer to the CFRs with the same requirements that are addressed in these rules. Therefore, these twenty-six rules are not necessary.
