General License
A general license is provided by rule, granting authority to a person for certain activities involving radioactive material, and is effective without the filing of an application with the Department or the issuance of a licensing document to a particular person. However, registration with the Department may be required by the particular general license. An annual registration fee may also be required depending on the type of general license.

Reciprocity
Any person who holds a specific license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State, and issued by the agency having jurisdiction where the licensee maintains an office for directing the licensed activity and at which radiation safety records are normally maintained, may be granted a general license to conduct the activities authorized in such licensing document within this state for a period, not in excess of 180 days in any calendar year, provided conditions in RH-750 of the ASBH Rules for Control of Sources of Ionizing Radiation are met.
Submit the appropriate fee, along with the following for review: a letter requesting reciprocity and describing the type of work to be performed, a copy of your relevant U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or Agreement State license, and a copy of your operating and emergency procedures. Once approval for reciprocity has been received from the Department, an Arkansas Notice of Entry form must be submitted at least three days prior to engaging in work activities in the state. For NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) activities, the Notice of Entry must be submitted at least 5 days before entry. Some activities require the approval of a work plan prior to performing work under the license.
