PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT[641]
Notice of Intended Action
Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)“b.”
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 136C.3, the Department of Public Health hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to amend Chapter 42, “Permit to Operate Ionizing Radiation Producing Machines or Administer Radioactive Materials,” Iowa Administrative Code.
This amendment increases the nonrefundable fee required of individuals applying to take the limited radiologic technologist examination. This fee increase is necessary to cover an increase in the fee assessed to the Department by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) for providing this test. A passing score on this test administered through the ARRT is required in order for individuals to apply for the limited radiologic technologist permit. The ARRT sets the fee for providing the limited radiologic technologist examination, and effective January 1, 2015, the ARRT is raising the fee from $100 to $125. The Department collects fees from the individual when the individual applies to take the limited radiologic technologist examination. The Department is subsequently invoiced by the ARRT when the examination is provided.
Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on this proposed amendment on or before February 10, 2015. Such written materials should be directed to Chief of the Bureau of Radiological Health, Iowa Department of Public Health, Lucas State Office Building, Fifth Floor, 321 East 12th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319; fax (515)281-4529; or e-mail angela.leek@idph.iowa.gov.
After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.
This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code section 136C.3.
The following amendment is proposed.
	Amend subparagraph 42.9(2)“e”(3) as follows:
	(3)	Each individual making application to take an examination as a limited radiologic technologist in 42.9(2)“e”(1)“1” or “3” must submit an application and nonrefundable fee of $110 $135 to the department each time the individual takes the examination.
