				  the individual of the procedures for revising the record or adding explanations
				  to the record.
(c) Fingerprinting
				  is not required if a licensee is reinstating an individual's unescorted access
				  authorization to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive materials
				  and all the following apply:

				  previous unescorted access authorization was terminated under favorable
				  conditions.
(d)
				  Fingerprints do not need to be taken if an individual, who is an employee of a
				  licensee, contractor, manufacturer, or supplier, has been granted unescorted
				  access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material; access
				  to safeguards information; or safeguards information-modified handling by
				  another licensee based upon a background investigation conducted under this
				  subchapter, fingerprint orders, or
				  10 CFR
				  73. An existing criminal history records
				  check file may be transferred to a licensee asked to grant unescorted access
				  under s. DHS 157.9705 (3).
(e) A
				  licensee shall use the information obtained as part of a criminal history
				  records check solely to determine an individual's suitability for unescorted
				  access authorization to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive
				  materials; access to safeguards information; or safeguards information-modified
				  handling.

Current through June 24, 2024
A licensee transferring a category 1 or category 2
					 quantity of radioactive material to a licensee of the department, the NRC, or
					 another agreement state shall meet all of the following license verification
					 provisions instead of those listed in s.
					 DHS 157.13(15)
					 (d):
(1) Before transferring a category 1 quantity
				  of radioactive material, the licensee making the transfer shall verify with the
				  NRC's license verification system or the license issuing authority that the
				  transferee's license authorizes the receipt of the type, form, and quantity of
				  radioactive material to be transferred and that the transferee is authorized to
				  receive radioactive material at the location requested for delivery. If the
				  verification is conducted by contacting the license issuing authority, the
				  licensee making the transfer shall document the verification. Verification is
				  not needed for transfers within the same organization.
(2) Before transferring a category 2 quantity
				  of radioactive material, the licensee making the transfer shall verify with the
				  NRC's license verification system or the license issuing authority that the
				  transferee's license authorizes the receipt of the type, form, and quantity of
				  radioactive material to be transferred. If the verification is conducted by
				  contacting the license issuing authority, the transferor shall document the
				  verification. Verification is not needed for transfers within the same
				  organization.
(3) In an emergency
				  where a licensee making the transfer cannot reach the license issuing authority
				  and the license verification system is nonfunctional, a licensee may accept a
				  written certification by the transferee that it is authorized by license to
				  receive the type, form, and quantity of radioactive material to be transferred.
				  The certification shall include the transferee's license number, current
				  revision number, issuing agency, expiration date, and for a category 1
				  shipment, the authorized address. The licensee making the transfer shall keep a
				  copy of the certification and shall confirm the certification through the NRC's
				  license verification system or by contacting the license issuing authority by
				  the end of the next business day.
(4) The licensee transferring the radioactive
				  material shall keep a copy of the verification documentation as a record for 3
				  years.

				  established that allow the transporter to contact the escort vehicle and
				  movement control center at all times. Redundant communications shall not be
				  subject to the same interference factors as the primary
				  communication.
3. Ensure that
				  shipments are continuously and actively monitored by a telemetric position
				  monitoring system or an alternative tracking system reporting to a movement
				  control center. A movement control center shall provide positive confirmation
				  of the location, status, and control over the shipment. The movement control
				  center shall be prepared to promptly implement preplanned procedures in
				  response to deviations from the authorized route or a notification of actual,
				  attempted, or suspicious activities related to the theft, loss, or diversion of
				  a shipment. These procedures will include, but not be limited to, the
				  identification of and contact information for the appropriate LLEA along the
				  shipment route.
4. Provide an
				  individual to accompany the driver for highway shipments with a driving time
				  period greater than the maximum number of allowable hours of service in a
				  24-hour duty day as established by the U.S. department of transportation
				  federal motor carrier safety administration. The accompanying individual may be
				  another driver.
5. Develop written
				  normal and contingency procedures to address all the following:
a. Notifications to the communication center
				  and law enforcement agencies.
b.
				  Communication protocols. Communication protocols shall include a strategy for
				  the use of authentication codes and duress codes and provisions for refueling
				  or other stops, detours, and locations where communication is expected to be
				  temporarily lost.
c. Loss of
				  communications.
d. Responses to an
				  actual or attempted theft or diversion of a shipment.
6. Ensure that drivers, accompanying
				  personnel, and movement control center personnel have access to the normal and
				  contingency procedures.
