	193	+	18 officer's name. If any change occurs in a laser installation,
	194	+	19 the change or changes shall be registered with the Agency
	195	+	20 within 30 days. If registering a change in each source of laser
	196	+	21 radiation or the type or strength of each source of radiation
	197	+	22 is impractical, the Agency, upon request of the operator, may
	198	+	23 approve blanket registration of the installation. Laser
