UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 1, 2019 Mr. Mike Broderick, Manager Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Radiation Management Section P.O. Box 1677 Oklahoma City, OK 73101-1677

Dear Mr. Broderick:

We have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Title 252, Oklahoma Administrative Code, Chapter 410 Radiation Management regulations, received by our office on May 24, 2019. These regulations were reviewed by comparison to the equivalent U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules in 10 CFR Part 32, and Regulation Amendment Tracking System Identification Numbers (RATS IDs) 2018-1, and 2018-2 as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet.

We discussed our review of the regulations with you on July 29, 2019.

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. Under our current procedure, a finding that the Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma regulations. However, we have determined that if your proposed regulations were adopted, incorporating our comment 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 Oklahoma 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 301-415-0275 (michelle.beardsley@nrc.gov) or Lizette Roldan-Otero at 817-200-1596 (lizette.roldan@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/
