The purpose of this proposed rule development is to maintain compatibility with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission by updating the department rules for the medical use of radioactive materials and temporary jobsite requirements. The proposed rule will also clarify how the department recognizes out of state licenses that use radioactive materials in the State of Florida. The substantive changes will establish new rules and change some existing rules regarding training and experience requirements for users, requirements for use and calibration of high dose rate remote afterloaders, and gamma stereotactic radiosurgery units.

Rule 14-98.005, F.A.C, is amended because of a revision to the Subgrant Application for Highway Safety Funds, Form 500-065-01, to incorporate updated versions of other incorporated documents that have been revised since the previous amendment. Rule 14-98.008, F.A.C., is being repealed and its incorporated forms are moved to Rule 14-98.005, F.A.C.

To revise forms to comply with Section 119.071(5), F.S. (2007), that precludes an agency from collecting an individual’s social security number unless such collection conforms to specified provisions of that statute. Forms SDF-1 (Proof of Claim), and SDF-2 (Reimbursement Request), incorporated by reference in Rule 69L-10.019, F.A.C., are renumbered, and amended so that the collection of the social security number is discontinued. Form SDF-6 (Explanation of Benefits), incorporated by reference in Rule 69L-10.016, F.A.C., is renumbered, and amended so that the collection of the social security number is discontinued. In lieu of social security numbers, the revised forms shall utilize an “SDTF Claim Number” for purposes of identifying and tracking claims. Rule 69L-10.017, F.A.C., is deleted, as there is no statutory authority for the reimbursements prescribed in the rule. In addition, Form SDF-5 (Claim for Reimbursement for Salary), incorporated by reference in Rule 69L-10.019, F.A.C., is deleted from the rule for the same reason. Finally, Rule 69L-10.006, F.A.C., is amended to reflect the renumbering of Form SDF-6 to DFS-F1-SDF-6. Rule 69L-10.012, F.A.C., and Rule 69L-10.015, F.A.C., are amended to reflect the renumbering of Form SDF-1 to DFS-F1-SDF-1 and to amend the rules specific authority.
