(i) The issuance, amendment, suspension, or revocation of general
licenses and specific licenses;
(ii) The registration of ionizing radiation sources for which a
general license or specific license is not required; and
(iii) Based on the kinds and amounts of radioactive material subject
to specific licenses, the establishment of financial plans to ensure the
decommissioning of facilities operating under those licenses and a timetable for the
submission of the plans to the Department.
(3) The amount of funding assurance required under a financial plan
established under paragraph (2)(iii) of this subsection may not exceed the amount

Regulatory Agency as amended from time to time.
(b) (1) The Secretary may adopt rules and regulations that:
(i) Require registration by persons granted a general license;
(ii) Subject to any registration requirements the Secretary requires,
recognize licenses issued by the federal government or any other state; and
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this
section, based on the anticipated cost of monitoring and regulating sources of
radiation, establish a fee schedule for general licenses, specific licenses, and the
registration of radiation machines or other sources of radiation issued under this
section.
(2) If the Secretary finds that allowing the exemptions will not
constitute a significant risk to the health and safety of the public, the Secretary may
adopt rules and regulations that exempt from the licensing or registration
requirements of this section:
(i) Specific sources of ionizing radiation;
(ii) Specific kinds of uses of ionizing radiation; and
(iii) Specific kinds of users of ionizing radiation.
(3) In adopting the regulations under paragraph (1)(iii) of this
subsection, the Department shall consult with the regulated profession or industry to
determine that the license fee is reasonable and directly related to the actual cost of
the licensing and regulatory activity.
(c) (1) For a dental office or dental facility operated by a licensed dentist, a
partnership of licensed dentists, a professional association of licensed dentists, or a
public health dental facility, the Secretary may adopt regulations that establish a fee
to offset the costs of monitoring and regulating sources of radiation within that dental
facility.
