UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 16, 2018 David Turberville, Assistant Director Office of Radiation Control Alabama Department of Public Health P.O. Box 303017 Montgomery, AL 36130-3017

Dear Mr. Turberville:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Alabama regulations 420-3-26-.02, received by our office on August 23, 2018. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules and Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2007-1, 2007-3, 2013-2, 2015-3, and 2015-4 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on October 11, 2018.

As a result of our review, we have four comments that have been identified in the enclosure.

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Alabama regulations meet the compatibility and health and safety categories of the equivalent NRC regulation may only be made based on a review of the final Alabama regulations. However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comments and without other significant change, they would 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.

We request that when the proposed regulations are adopted and published as final regulations, a copy of the as published regulations be provided to us for review. As requested in NMSS Procedure SA-201, Review of State Regulatory Requirements, please highlight the final changes, and provide a copy to Division of Materials Safety, Security, State, and Tribal Programs, NMSS.

The SRS Data Sheet summarizes our knowledge of the status of other Alabama 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.

D. Turberville 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) or Monica Ford at (610) 337-5214 (Monica.Ford@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/

Alabama needs to delete 420-3 .02(21)(b)(1)(i) and (ii) and replace them with the following:

(i) Where the words NRC, Commission, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission or Administrator of the appropriate Regional 2

STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS Office appear in 10 CFR Part 71, substitute the words [State]
