Specific Radioactive Material Licenses
A. Subject to this Subchapter, and the
				  limitations contained in §7.10.1(D) of this Part, any person who holds a
				  specific license from the U.S. 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 Rhode
				  Island, except for areas under exclusive federal jurisdiction, for a period not
				  in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days in any calendar year provided that:
1. The licensing document does not limit the
				  activity authorized by such document to specified installations or
				  locations;
2. The out-of-State
				  licensee submits Agency Form MAT-9i, a copy of the pertinent licensing
				  document, and the appropriate fee as prescribed in §15.5.4 of this
				  Subchapter to the Agency at least three (3) days prior to engaging in such
				  activity for the first time in a calendar year. If a submittal cannot be filed
				  three (3) days before engaging in activities under reciprocity, because of an
				  emergency or other reason, the Agency may waive the three (3) day time
				  requirement provided the licensee:
a. Informs
				  the Agency by telephone, facsimile, an Agency Form MAT- 9N, or a letter of
				  initial activities or revisions to the information submitted on the initial
				  Agency Form MAT-9i;
b. Receives
				  oral or written authorization for the activity from the Agency; and
c. Within three (3) days after the
				  notification, files an Agency Form MAT-9N, a copy of the pertinent licensing
				  document, and the appropriate fee as prescribed in §15.5.4 of this
				  Subchapter.
3. The
				  out-of-State licensee complies with all applicable Regulations of the Agency
				  and with all the terms and conditions of his licensing document, except any
				  such terms and conditions which may be inconsistent with applicable Regulations
				  of the Agency;
4. The out-of-State
				  licensee supplies such other information as the Agency may request;
				  and
5. The out-of-State licensee
				  shall not transfer or dispose of radioactive material possessed or used under
				  the general license provided in §7.10.1(A) of this Part except by transfer
				  to a person specifically licensed by the Agency, another Agreement State or by
				  the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to receive such material.
6. The out-of-State licensee files an amended
				  Agency Form MAT-9N with the Agency to request approval for changes in work
				  locations, radioactive material, or work activities different from the
				  information contained on the initial MAT-9N.
