Certification of facilities licensed only by federal government; request for inspection; inspection fee; failure to pay fee.

The State Radiation Control Agency may issue a certification for facilities licensed only by the federal government if it has sufficient data, reports, and/or other information to determine whether such a facility is complying with the rule specified in Section 22-14-20. Such facility may request the inspection by the staff of the State Radiation Control Agency of those activities related to the volume reduction of low-level radioactive waste. Such a facility shall pay a fee equal to 75 percent of the appropriate United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's average cost per professional staff hour based upon the professional staff time spent in determining that a facility does or does not comply with the criteria adopted pursuant to Section 22-14-20. Failure to pay such inspection fee shall permit the State Radiation Control Agency to revoke or rescind any certifications issued. All such fees are to be paid into the Radiation Safety Fund.
