A.
					 Licenses of Radioactive, Source, and Special Nuclear Material in Quantities Not
					 Sufficient to Form a Critical Mass.
(1)
					 Subject to this rule, any person who holds a specific license from the Nuclear
					 Regulatory Commission or any Agreement State, and issued by the Agency having
					 jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed
					 activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, is
					 hereby granted a general license to conduct the activities authorized in such
					 licensing document within this State provided that:
(a) The licensing document does not limit the
					 activity authorized by such document to specified installations or
					 locations;
(b) The out-of-state
					 licensee notifies the Agency in writing at least three working days prior to
					 engaging in such activity and receive Agency approval. Such notification shall
					 indicate the location, period, and type of proposed possession and use within
					 the State, and shall be accompanied by a copy of the pertinent licensing
					 document and HHE form 865. If, for a specific case, the three working day
					 period would impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, he or she
					 may, upon application to the Agency, obtain permission to proceed sooner. The
					 Agency requires that the applicable Maine annual license fee accompany the
					 initial request for reciprocity (see Table 1 to Appendix A of this Part). This
					 reciprocity fee will cover a period of one year from the time of application,
					 at which time a new fee submittal will be required. Up to 180 days of
					 accumulative works may be performed during the covered period. This requirement
					 does not waive the requirement for filing additional written notifications
					 during the remainder of the calendar year following the receipt of the initial
					 notification from a person engaging in activities under the general license
					 provided in C.24.A(1).
(c) The
					 out-of-state licensee complies with all applicable regulations of the Agency
					 and with all the terms and conditions of his/her licensing document, except any
					 such terms and conditions which may be inconsistent with applicable regulations
					 of the Agency;
(d) The out-of-state
					 licensee supplies such other information as the Agency may request;
(e) The out-of-state licensee shall not
					 transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or used under the general
					 license provided in C.24.A(1) except by transfer to a person:
(i) Specifically licensed by the Agency or by
					 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to receive such material, or
(ii) Exempt from the requirements for a
					 license for such material under C.3; and
(f) The out-of-state licensee shall not,
					 under the general license concerning activities within this State, possess or
					 use radioactive materials, or engage in the activities authorized in paragraph
					 A of this section, for more than 180 days accumulative in any calendar year.
