UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 7, 2018 David J. Allard, Director PA Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Radiation Protection Rachel Carson State Office Building P.O. Box 8469 Harrisburg, PA 17105-8469

Dear Mr. Allard:

We have reviewed the revised final revisions to the Pennsylvania regulations Title 25 Chapter 215, and the highlighted portions of Title 25 Chapter 215, Annex A, Rights and Responsibilities of the Department, received by our office on May 15, 2018. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and the requirements of Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2011-2, 2012-4, 2013-2, 2015-1, 2015-3, 2015-5, and other provisions not associated with a RATS ID, as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with Keith Salador on June 6, 2018.

As a result of our review, we have no comments. Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. We have determined that the regulations, as adopted, meet the compatibility and health and safety categories established in the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) Procedure SA-200, Compatibility Categories and Health and Safety Identification for NRC Regulations and Other Program Elements.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Pennsylvania regulations, as indicated. Please let us know if you note any inaccuracies, or have any comments on the information contained in the SRS Data Sheet. This letter, including the SRS Data Sheet, is posted on the NMSS State Communication Portal:

https://scp.nrc.gov/rulemaking.html.

If you have any questions regarding the comments, the compatibility and health and safety categories, or any of the NRC regulations used in the review, please contact Michelle Beardsley, State Regulation Review Coordinator, at (267) 884-2305 (michelle.beardsley@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/
