Owners of these facilities must apply to the Director for classification and certification, with each facility type having four classes of operator's licenses—Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV. The Regulations establish the discipline for licensing and operating standards, outlining responsibilities, record-keeping requirements, and more.
