separate registration and fee.
p.
Register each device annually with the Department and pay the fee required by
R9-7-1306, Category D4, if in possession of a device that meets the criteria in
subsection (A)(4)(o). The general licensee shall register by verifying,
correcting, and adding to the information provided in a request for
registration received from the Department. The registration information shall
be submitted to the Department within 30 days from the date on the request for
registration. In addition, a general licensee holding devices meeting the
criteria of subsection (A)(4)(o) is subject to the bankruptcy notification
requirements in
R9-7-313(D).
q. In registering a device, furnish the
following information and any other registration information specifically
requested by the Department:

vi. Certification
by the responsible individual that the individual is aware of the requirements
of the general license.
r. Report a change in mailing address for the
location of use or a change in the name of the general licensee to the
Department within 30 days of the effective date of the change. For a portable
device, a report of address change is only required for a change in the
device's primary place of storage.
s. Not use a device if the device has not
been used for a period of two years. If a device with shutters is not being
used, the general licensee shall ensure that the shutters are locked in the
closed position. The testing required by subsection (A)(4)(b) need not be
performed during a period of storage. However, if a device is put back into
service or transferred to another person, and has not been tested during the
required test interval, the general licensee shall ensure that the device is
tested for leakage before use or transfer and that the shutter is tested before
use. A device kept in standby for future use is excluded from the two-year time
limit in this subsection if the general licensee performs a quarterly physical
inventory regarding the standby devices.

containing no more than 0.037 megabecquerel (1 microcurie) of radium-226. For
the purposes of this subsection, "small radium sources" means discrete survey
instrument check sources, sources contained in radiation measuring instruments,
sources used in educational demonstrations (such as cloud chambers and
spinthariscopes), electron tubes, lightning rods, ionization sources, static
eliminators, or as designated by the NRC.
H. Persons who acquire, receive, possess,
use, or transfer byproduct material under the general license issued in
subsection (G) are exempt from the provisions 9 A.A.C. 7, Articles 1, 3, 4, 7,
10, 12, and 15 and A.R.S. §§
30-654(B)(13),
30-657(A) and
(B),
30-681, and
30-685 through

receipt, possession, use, or transfer of byproduct material is within the terms
of the general license; provided, however, that this exemption shall not be
deemed to apply to any such person specifically licensed under this chapter.
Any person who acquires, receives, possesses, uses, or transfers byproduct
material in accordance with the general license in subsection (G):
1. Shall notify the Department should there
be any indication of possible damage to the product so that it appears it could
result in a loss of the radioactive material. A report containing a brief
description of the event, and the remedial action taken, must be furnished to
the Department within 30 days.
2.
Shall not abandon products containing radium-226. The product, and any
radioactive material from the product, may only be disposed of according to
Article 4 or by transfer to a person authorized by a specific license to
receive the radium-226 in the product or as otherwise approved by the
Department.
3. Shall not export
products containing radium-226 except in accordance with 10 CFR 110 revised
January 1, 2013, incorporated by reference, and available under
R9-7-101. The incorporated material
contains no future editions or amendments.
4. Shall dispose of products containing
radium-226 at a disposal facility authorized to dispose of radioactive material
in accordance with any federal or state solid or hazardous waste law, including
the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as authorized under the Energy Policy Act of
2005, by transfer to a person authorized to receive radium-226 by a specific
license issued under Article 3, equivalent regulations of an Agreement State,
or the NRC.
5. Shall respond to
written requests from the Department to provide information relating to the
general license within 30 calendar days of the date of the request, or other
time specified in the request. If the general licensee cannot provide the
requested information within the allotted time, it shall, within that same time
period, request a longer period to supply the information by providing the
Department Director a written justification for the request.
I. The general license in
subsection (G) does not authorize the manufacture, assembly, disassembly,
repair, or import of products containing radium-226, except that timepieces may
be disassembled and repaired.
