RULE §336.1013Terms and Conditions of License

(a) At any time before termination of the license, the licensee shall submit written statements under oath upon request of the commission or executive director to enable the commission to determine whether or not the license should be modified, suspended, or revoked.

(b) The licensee is subject to the applicable provisions of Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 401, also known as the Texas Radiation Control Act (TRCA) now or hereafter in effect and to applicable rules and orders of the commission. The terms and conditions of the license are subject to amendment, revision, or modification, by reason of amendments to the TRCA or by reason of rules and orders issued in accordance with terms of the TRCA.

(c) Any license may be revoked, suspended, or modified, in whole or in part, for any material false statement in the application or any statement of fact required under provisions of the TRCA, or because of conditions revealed by any application or statement of fact or any report, record, or inspection or other means that would warrant the commission to refuse to grant a license on the original application, or for failure to operate the naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) waste disposal facility in accordance with the terms of the license, or for any violation of or failure to observe any of the terms and conditions of the TRCA or the license or of any rule or order of the commission.

(d) Each person licensed by the commission under this subchapter shall confine possession and use of NORM waste to the locations and purposes authorized in the license.

(e) The licensee may not dispose of NORM waste at a NORM waste disposal facility until the licensee has submitted to the executive director by certified mail or hand delivery a letter signed by the licensee and a Texas licensed professional engineer stating that the NORM waste disposal facility has been constructed in compliance with the license and the application and the executive director has inspected the NORM waste disposal facility and finds it is in compliance with the conditions of the license and the application.

(f) The licensee may not receive NORM waste for disposal at the NORM waste disposal facility until the executive director has approved the licensee's financial assurance in writing.

(g) The commission may incorporate in any license at the time of issuance, or thereafter, by appropriate rule or order, additional requirements and conditions with respect to the licensee's receipt, possession, and disposal of waste as it deems appropriate or necessary in order to:

  (1) protect the health and safety of the public and the environment; or

  (2) require reports and recordkeeping and to provide for inspections of activities under the license that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of the TRCA and the rules adopted under the TRCA.

(h) Each license may be issued for an initial term of ten years from the date of issuance. After the initial ten years, the commission may renew the license for one or more terms of ten years. The authority to dispose of radioactive material expires on the date stated in the license. In any case in which a licensee has timely filed an application for renewal of a license, the authority for continued receipt and disposal of licensed materials does not expire until the commission has taken final action on the application for renewal.
