SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Pursuant to S.C. Code Ann., Sections 13-7-10 et seq., the Department of Health and Environmental Control ("Department") requires compliance with all applicable provisions and current revisions of Title 10, Part 71 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 71), and any disposal facility's radioactive material license requirements and site disposal criteria regarding the packaging, transportation, disposal, storage or delivery of radioactive materials. The Department proposes amending R.61-83 to incorporate 10 CFR 71 regulations promulgated in 2018, provide clarification for conformance with disposal site criteria, include an exemption allowance to be consistent with R.61-63, Radioactive Materials (Title A), and update forms to the current Department documents in use. The proposed amendments may also include stylistic changes, which may include corrections for clarity and readability, grammar, punctuation, definitions, references, codification, and overall improvement of the text of the regulation.

The Department had a Notice of Drafting published in the April 28, 2023, South Carolina State Register.
