The only other section of Part 35 which may be tangentially related to 
"regulating" dose is the misadministration rule....HOWEVER, the 
misadministration rule does not in any way prescribe the activity to be 
administered, it only requires reporting to the agency if the administered 
activity varies by a certain percentage from the prescribed activity.

In addition, while a facility may be cited for violating procedures or 
regulations RESULTING in the misadministration, or for not reporting the 
misadministration when required, they would not for the misadministration in 
and of itself.
