Cost Survey for WAC 246-225-035, Shielding Plans Inbox WA DOH Chiropractic Commission Unsubscribe Fri, Oct 9, 2:47 PM (21 hours ago) to me Chiropractic Quality Assurance Commission Greetings, The Department of Health is considering adopting a new section, WAC 246-225-035, General requirements - Shielding plan review. Attached is a copy of the proposed rule, which expands upon current rules by requiring: Shielding plans for all X-ray systems or particle beam therapy systems of more than 70 kV; Department review and approval; Specific documentation; Use of a shielding plan expert; and Posting and long-term retention of shielding plans. The proposed rule does not apply to mammography, dental intraoral, dental panoramic, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, or podiatry systems used at or below 70kV. Shielding plans must account for acceptable workloads per calendar week. As part of this rulemaking, we are completing a cost-benefit analysis and small business economic impact statement. We have created a cost survey to identify potential new costs associated with the proposed rule. Please complete this survey if you are a: Dental clinic using dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) or you plan to obtain a dental CBCT system; Medical clinic using mobile fluoroscopic X-ray or portable computed tomography (CT) or you plan to obtain a mobile fluoroscopic X-ray or portable CT; or Veterinary clinic using computed tomography (CT), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), or fluoroscopic X-ray systems or you plan to obtain a CT, CBCT, or fluoroscopic system. Your responses will help us understand the impacts of the proposed rule. Please complete the survey by close of business on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
