supports the reports required by this paragraph concerning each transfer
to a general licensee for inspection by the department in accordance
with subsection (mm) of this section.

of rules in this chapter, or orders issued by the department.
(2) Any license may be revoked, suspended, or modified,
in whole or in part, for any of the following:
(A) any material false statement in the application
or any statement of fact required under provisions of the Act;
(B) conditions revealed by such application or statement
of fact or any report, record, or inspection, or other means that
would warrant the department to refuse to grant a license on an original
application;

health or safety requires otherwise, no license shall be suspended

facts or conduct that may warrant such action shall have been called
to the attention of the licensee in writing and the licensee shall
have been afforded an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with all
lawful requirements.
(ee) Reciprocal recognition of licenses.
(1) Subject to this section, any person who holds a
specific license from the NRC or any agreement state, and issued by
the agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office
for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety
records are normally maintained, is granted a general license to conduct
the activities authorized in such licensing document within the State
of Texas provided that:
(A) the licensing document does not limit the activity
authorized by such document to specified installations or locations;
(B) the out-of-state licensee notifies the department
in writing at least three working days before engaging in such activity.
If, for a specific case, the three-working-day period would impose
an undue hardship on the out-of-state licensee, the licensee may,
upon application to the department, obtain permission to proceed sooner.
The department may waive the requirement for filing additional written
notifications during the remainder of the calendar year following
the receipt of the initial notification from a person engaging in
activities in accordance with the general license provided in this
subsection. Such notification shall include:
(i) the exact location, start date, duration, and type
of activity to be conducted;
(ii) the identification of the radioactive material
to be used;
(iii) the name(s) and in-state address(es) of the individual(s)
performing the activity;
(iv) a copy of the applicant's pertinent license;
(v) a copy of the licensee's operating, safety, and
emergency procedures;
(vi) a fee as specified in §289.204 of this title;
and
(vii) a copy of the completed RC Form 252-1 (Business
Information Form);
(C) the out-of-state licensee complies with all applicable
rules of the department and with all the terms and conditions of the
licensee's licensing document, except any such terms and conditions
that may be inconsistent with applicable rules of the department;
(D) the out-of-state licensee supplies such other information
as the department may request;
(E) the out-of-state licensee shall not transfer or
dispose of radioactive material possessed or used in accordance with
the general license provided in this subsection except by transfer
to a person:
(i) specifically licensed by the department, the NRC,
or any agreement state to receive such material, or
(ii) exempt from the requirements for a license for
such material in accordance with §289.251(e)(1) of this title;
and
(F) the out-of-state licensee shall have the following
documents in their possession at all times when conducting work in
Texas, and make them available for department review upon request:
(i) a copy of the department letter granting the licensee
reciprocal recognition of their out-of-state license;
(ii) a copy of the licensee's operating and emergency
procedures;
(iii) a copy of the licensee's radioactive material
license;
(iv) a copy of all applicable sections of 25 TAC, Chapter
289; and
(v) a copy of the completed RC Form 252-3 notifying
the department of the licensee's intent to work in Texas.
(2) In addition to the provisions of paragraph (1)
of this subsection, any person who holds a specific license issued
by the NRC or any agreement state authorizing the holder to manufacture,
transfer, install, or service the device described in §289.251(f)(4)(H)
of this title or in Title 10, CFR, §150.20, within areas subject
to the jurisdiction of the licensing body, is granted a general license
to install, transfer, demonstrate, or service the device in the State
of Texas provided that:
(A) the person files a report with the department within
30 days after the end of each calendar quarter in which any device
is transferred to or installed in the State of Texas. Each report
shall identify by name and address, each general licensee to whom
the device is transferred, the type of device transferred by manufacturer's
name, model and serial number of the device, and serial number of
the sealed source, and the quantity and type of radioactive material
contained in the device;
(B) the device has been manufactured, labeled, installed,
and serviced in accordance with applicable provisions of the specific
license issued to the person by the NRC or any agreement state;
