Bureau of Radiation Control 

Department of Health 

4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C21 

Tallahassee, FL 32399-1741 

Dear Ms. Becker: 

We have reviewed the final revision to the Florida regulations, Florida Administrative Code 

Rules 64E-5, “Control of Radiaiton Hazard Regulations,” received by our office on March 11, 

2015. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of the ten amendments identified in 

the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the 

regulations with Michael Stevens on April 30, 2015. 

As a result of our review, we have 30 comments that have been identified in the enclosure. 

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or 

health and safety. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, incorporating our 

comments and without other significant change, they would meet the compatibility and health 

and safety categories established in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards 

(NMSS) Procedure SA-200, “Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety Identification for 

NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements.” 

We request that when you revise your regulations to address our comments, a copy of the “as 

published” regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in NMSS Procedure SA-201, 

“Review of State Regulatory Requirements,” please highlight the location of any changes made 

by Florida, in response to our comments, and provide a copy to Division of Material Safety, 

State, Tribal, and Rulemaking Programs, NMSS. The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our 

knowledge of the status of other Florida regulations, as indicated. Please let us know if you 

note any inaccuracies, or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data 

Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the NMSS Web site:

COMPATIBILITY COMMENTS ON FLORIDA FINAL REGULATIONS 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

1 64E5.101(149) 34.3 1997-5 B Definition: Temporary jobsite 

FL’s definition for temporary jobsite is 

not essentially identical to NRC’s 

definition in 10 CFR 34.3. FL needs to 

change their definition to read “a 

location where radiographic operations 

are conducted and where licensed 

material may be stored other than those 

location(s) of use authorized on the 

license.” 

FL needs to make the above change in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 10 

CFR 34.3 Definition Temporary jobsite. 

2 64E5.210(4)(a) 32.51 2001-1 B Byproduct material contained in 

devices for use under 

Sec. 31.5; requirements for license 

to manufacture, or initially 

transfer 

FL needs to replace the word 

“distribute” with “initially transfer” and 

the word “distributor” with “initial 

transferor” in 64E-5.210(4)(a); 

(4)(a)3.c.(I), and (4)(a)3.c.(II). 

FL omits an equivalent regulation to 10 

CFR 32.51(a)(6) from 64E-5.210(4). 

FL needs to make the above changes 

in order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 10 

CFR 32.51. 

3 64E5.210(4)(d) 32.51a 2001-1 B Same: Conditions of licenses. 

FL omits an equivalent regulation to 10 

CFR 32.51a(c) from 64E-5.210(4)(d). 

FL needs to add equivalent rule 

language to 10 CFR 32.51a(c) to 64E5.210(4)(d) in order to meet the 
2 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 32.51(a). 

4 64E5.101(93) 20.1003 2002-2 A Definition: Occupational dose 

FL omits the phrase “from licensed and 

unlicensed sources of radiation” from its 

definition of Occupational Dose. FL 

needs to insert this phrase in between 

“exposure to radiation sources” and 

“whether in the...”. 

FL needs to make the above change to 

64E-5.101(93) Occupational Dose, in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category A designation assigned to 10 

CFR 20.1003 Definition Occupational 

dose. 

5 64E5.210(10) 32.72 2002-2 

2006-1 

2007-3 

B Manufacture, preparation, or transfer 

for commercial distribution of 

radioactive drugs containing 

byproduct material for medical use 

under Part 35 

FL needs to change the opening 

paragraph of 64E-5.210(10) to read 

“...to manufacture, prepare, or transfer 

for commercial distribution 

radiopharmaceuticals containing ...” 

FL needs to change 64E-5.210(10)(b)1. 

to read “The applicant is registered or 

licensed with the U.S. Food and Drug 

administration as the owner or operator 

of a drug establishment that engages in 

the manufacture, preparation, 

propagation, compounding, or 

processing of a drug under 21 CFR 

207.20(a); or.” 

FL needs to remove 64E-5.210(10)(b)3. 

from its regulation. There is not an 

equivalent regulation in 10 CFR 32.72, 

thereby making Florida’s regulation less 

restrictive. 
3 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

FL omits an equivalent regulation to 10 

CFR 32.72(a)(2)(iv). FL needs to add 

equivalent language to 64E-5.210(10). 

FL omits the wording “the radiation 

symbol and” between “distribution 

includes” and “the words” in 64E5.210(10)(d)2. 

FL omits equivalent rule text to 10 CFR 

32.72(b). FL needs to add equivalent 

rule text to 64E-5.210(10). [*Note FL 

states that 64E-5.210(10)(f) satisfies all 

the requirements of 30.34(j)(4) which 

references 32.72(b)(5) which ensures 

that the pharmacist is an Authorized 

Nuclear Pharmacist. 

64E-5.210(10)(f)1. requires 64E5.210(1)(b) is followed which requires 

an Authorized Nuclear Pharmacist. 

However, because FL does not adopt 

language equivalent to 10 CFR 

32.72(b) which discusses not only who 

can use it but who can prepare it [which 

is not described in 64E5.210(10)(1)(b)), adopting rule 

language that references it and then not 

being able to put in a pointer to the 

correct FL section or adoption of the 

NRC section by reference therefore 

means that FL does not have 

equivalent rule language adopted]. 

FL needs to make the above changes 

in order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 10 

CFR 32.72. 

6 64E5.210(12) 32.74 2002-2 

2006-1 

B Manufacture and distribution of 

sources or devices containing 

byproduct material for medical use 
4 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

FL needs to remove the phrase 

“provided, that such labeling for 

sources which do not require long term 

storage may be on a leaflet or brochure 

which accompanies the source” from 

64E-5.210(12)(a)3. 

FL is missing an equivalent regulation 

to 10 CFR 32.72(a)(4) in 64E5.210(12). 

FL needs to make the above changes 

to 64E-5.210(12) in order to meet the 

Compatibility Category B designation 

assigned to 10 CFR 32.74. 

7 64E5.101(171) 35.2 2002-2 

2006-1 

B Definition: Authorized nuclear 

pharmacist 

FL lists an incorrect reference to their 

equivalent of 10 CFR 32.72(b)(4) in 

64E-5.101(171)(d). FL does not adopt 

equivalent rule language to 10 CFR 

32.72(b)(4). Once FL incorporates this 

language into their regulations they 

should list the correct reference in 64E5.101(171). 

FL needs to make the above change in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 10 

CFR 35.2 Definition Authorized nuclear 

pharmacist. 

8 64E5.6011(2)(a) 35.2 2002-2 

2006-1 

B Definition: Authorized user 

FL omits equivalent reference to 10 

CFR 35.290(a) [64E-5.650(1)] from 

64E-5.6011(2)(a). 

FL needs to make the above change in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category B designation assigned to 10 

CFR 35.2 Definition Authorized user. 

9 64E5.101(103) 35.2 2002-2 C Definition: Prescribed dosage 
5 

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 

FL needs to remove the phrase “Either 

in the diagnostic clinical procedures 

manual or” from 64E-5.101(103(b). 

The addition of this language makes 

FL’s definition less restrictive. 

FL needs to make the above change in 

order to meet the Compatibility 

Category C designation assigned to 10 

CFR 35.2 Definition Prescribed dosage.

meets the requirements specified in 10

FL needs to replace the language “has
