UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 30, 2019 Mr. Brian Goretzki, Director Bureau of Radiation Control Arizona Department of Health Services 4814 South 40th Street Phoenix, AZ 85040

Dear Mr. Goretzki:

We have reviewed the final revisions to the Arizona Administrative Code Chapter 7 Radiation Control regulations, received by our office on July 17, 2019. 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, 2011-2, 2012-1, 2012-3, 2012-4, 2015-1, 2015-2, 2015-3, 2015-4, and 2015-5; and other provisions not associated with a RATS ID (35.190, 35.290, and 71.13), as identified in the enclosed State Regulation Status (SRS) Data Sheet. We discussed our review of the regulations with you on August 28, 2019.

As a result of our review, we have six 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. 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 Arizona, 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 Arizona 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.

B. Goretzki If you have any questions regarding the review results, 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 Joe OHara at (301) 415-6854 (Joe.OHara@nrc.gov).

Sincerely,

/RA Paul Michalak for/

KWilliams DATE 8/19/19 8/28/19 8/30/19 8/30/19 COMPATIBILITY COMMENTS ON ARIZONA FINAL REGULATIONS STATE SECTION NRC SECTION RATS ID CATEGORY SUBJECT and COMMENTS 1 R9-7-448(E) 70.50(c)(2) 2015-1 C Reporting requirements Arizona needs to delete the reporting submission time in R9-7-448(E) since it conflicts with the correction Arizona made to R9-7-448(D).

Arizona needs to make the above change to meet the Compatibility Category C designation assigned to 10 CFR 70.50(c)(2).

2 R9-7-1507 10 CFR 71 2015-3 Various General comment: 10 CFR Part 71 and R9-7-1510 Arizona incorporates by reference 10 CFR Part 71 subparts A, G, and H in sections R9-7-1507A., C.2.b., and R9-7-1510 D.3.b.ii. However, Arizona has written regulations for some of these requirements, e.g., 71.4, Definitions, 71.97, 71.101. This is not only duplicative, but can conflict with NRC regulations, and cause confusion to the licensee as to which regulations apply.

Arizona needs to either: a) incorporate all applicable Part 71 provisions by reference; b) write their own regulations for all applicable parts; or c) specify which regulations they are incorporating by reference and have written regulations for the provisions they are not incorporating by reference, but not both.

Arizona needs to revise their regulations as indicated above to meet the various Compatibility Categories assigned to 10 CFR Part 71.
