The proposed rulemaking would revise the commission's radiation control rules to ensure compatibility with regulations promulgated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The state must adopt compatible rules to maintain the status of Texas as an Agreement State authorized to administer a portion of the radiation control program under the Atomic Energy Act. The proposed rulemaking would also amend the fees charged for facilities regulated under Subchapter L of Chapter 336 (Licensing of Source Material Recovery and By-Product Material Disposal Facilities). The proposed fee shall recover for the state the actual expenses arising from the regulatory activities associated with the license. The proposed rulemaking would also clarify the requirements for license fees to fund the Radiation and Perpetual Care Account.
