Rule 3701:1-43-19 | Recognition of state licenses - reciprocity.

 

(A) Any person who holds a specific license from another state, issued by the department having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, will be granted reciprocity in the state of Ohio to conduct the same licensed activity provided that:

(1) The reciprocity form is current;

(2) The person has not violated Chapter 3748. of the Revised Code or the rules adopted thereunder;

(3) The person applies for reciprocity as outlined in this rule;

(4) The person notifies the director at least three days in advance of each entry into the state after the reciprocity agreement has been granted unless all dates and locations are specified within the agreement document; and

(5) There is no permanent location in Ohio requiring a specific license for radioactive materials.

(B) The person will not transfer or dispose of TENORM possessed or used under the reciprocity agreement provided in paragraph (A) of this rule except by transfer to a person:

(1) Specifically licensed by the director or by another licensing state to receive such TENORM; or

(2) Exempt from the requirements for a license for such TENORM under rule 3701:1-43-07 of the Administrative Code.

(C) A person applying for reciprocity in the state of Ohio as specified in paragraph (A) of this rule will do the following:
