Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rule change to Florida Administrative Code Rule 64E-5.502 is to add administrative controls for ionizing radiation machines manufactured and used only for security purposes in jails and correctional facilities on legal detainees in accordance with ANSI/HPS N43, 17-2009, “Radiation Safety for Personnel Security Screening Systems Using X-ray or Gamma Radiation”. DH Form 1107, 9/14, “Radiation Machine Facility Registration,” will be used for reporting compliance with ANSI/HPS N43, 17-2009. This form is incorporated by reference in Florida Administrative Code Rule 64E-5.511 which will be amended to update the form to include a check box for those registering ionizing radiation machines manufactured and used only for security purposes in jails and correctional facilities on legal detainees to indicate compliance with ANSI/HPS N43, 17-2009 standards and to update statutory reference in rulemaking authority and law implemented. Also the department will review and possibly update federal requirements and federal forms for reporting the installation of x-ray machines.
