UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 2, 2018 Mr. Joshua E. Daehler, Supervisor Radioactive Materials Unit Radiation Control Program Massachusetts Department of Public Health Schrafft Center, Suite 1M2A 529 Main Street Charlestown, MA 02129

Dear Mr. Daehler:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Massachusetts regulations 10 CMR 120.000, received by our office on September 20, 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) 2011-1, 2012-4, 2013-2, and 2015-3 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet.

We discussed our review of the regulations with you on October 31, 2018.

As a result of our review, we have one comment that has been identified in the enclosure.

Please note that we have limited our review to regulations required for compatibility and/or health and safety. We have determined that if these regulations are revised, 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 you revise your regulations to address our comments, 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 location of any changes made by Massachusetts, in response to our comments, 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 Massachusetts 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.

J. Daehler 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 (301) 415-0275 (michelle.beardsley@nrc.gov) or Stephen Poy at (301) 415-7135 (stephen.poy@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/
