Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Subject to these regulations, any person
				  who holds a specific license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, any
				  other agreement state, or any licensing 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, except in areas of exclusive federal
				  jurisdiction, for not more than 180 days in any calendar year provided that the
				  following conditions are met.
1. The
				  licensing document does not limit the activity authorized by such document to
				  specified installations or locations.
2. For each separate location in Louisiana,
				  the out-of-state licensee notifies the Office of Environmental Compliance in
				  writing at least three working or business days prior to engaging in such
				  activity. 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. If, for a specific case, the three working
				  or business day period would impose an undue hardship on the out-of-state
				  licensee, he or she may, upon written application to the Office of
				  Environmental Compliance obtain permission to proceed sooner. The department
				  may waive the requirement for filing additional written notifications following
				  the receipt of the initial written notification from a person engaging in
				  activities under the general license provided in this Subsection.
3. The out-of-state licensee complies with
				  all applicable Louisiana Radiation Protection Regulations (LAC 33:XV) and with
				  all the terms and conditions of his or her licensing document, except any such
				  terms and conditions that may be inconsistent with applicable Louisiana
				  Radiation Protection Regulations (LAC 33:XV).
4. The out-of-state licensee maintains a
				  current copy of the appropriate license and all amendments thereto with the
				  department.
5. The out-of-state
				  licensee supplies such other information as the department may
				  request.
6. Any out-of-state
				  licensee who establishes a permanent office in Louisiana shall notify the
				  Office of Environmental Compliance within 10 calendar days of establishing such
				  office and shall, upon direction by the department and within 30 calendar days,
				  make application for a radioactive material license in accordance with LAC
				  33:XV.326.E.
7. The out-of-state
				  licensee shall not transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or
				  used under the general license provided in LAC 33:XV.390.A except by transfer
				  to a person:
a. specifically licensed by the
				  administrative authority, any other agreement state, any licensing state, or
				  the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as appropriate, to receive such
				  material; or
b. exempt from the
				  requirements for a license for such material under LAC 33:XV.304.A.
