Registration and Operator Requirements for Radiation Installations, 32 Ill. Adm. Code 320

Proposed amendments were published on September 27, 2024, in the Illinois Register, Vol. 48, Issue 39, beginning on page 14073.  IEMA-OHS is proposing amendments to include a Purpose and Scope section to clarify which radiation machines are covered by the part; add definitions to provide clarification of terms used; and update language to align technology of radiation machines and the associated radiation hazard located at the radiation installation with the annual fees.  The Agency is changing language to place the burden on radiation installations to ensure their registration is updated prior to the annual billing of fees.  The Agency is also adding a requirement of notification and exemption for legal proceedings.
